Suppose you are facing north, each time you turn, you are going to turn 90 degrees. If you turn 2 times to the right, 1 time to the left, 3 times to the right, 2 times to the right, and 1 time to the left, which way are you now facing?

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Starting position = North

Condition = each time you turn, you are going to turn 90 degrees

Using the image attached as a guide;

If you turn 2 times to the right

- Turning the first time to the right changes the direction to East

- Turning the second time to the right changes the direction to South

1 time to the left

- Turning once to the left changes the direction to East

3 times to the right

- Turning the first time to the right changes the direction to South

- Turning the second time to the right changes the direction to West

- Turning the second time to the right changes the direction to North

2 times to the right

- Turning the first time to the right changes the direction to East

- Turning the second time to the right changes the direction to South

1 time to the left

- Turning once to the left changes the direction to East

Suppose you are facing north, each time you turn, you are going to turn 90 degrees-example-1
