Question 62

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
South stays south.
East in the game means real west.
So 'south-east' in the game is real south-west.
Worth noting
North-west turns the whole direction around, which also swaps north and south. Only the east–west part is swapped here.
