    AC0110: hey.. you are so right.. that was pretty confusing when I was younger

    although mine is:
    North, South, East, West vs 東, 南, 西, 北

    Haha.. Yea language difference... screw me over for awhile...
    So sometimes I never understood why my answer was wrong especially for science about direction...

    ^haha.. and I found a way to remember:

    __________N


    W__________________E


    __________S

    North and South is always vertical, West and East horizontal, saying WE


    __________


    西__________________


    __________

    As for Chinese, it starts from East and goes clockwise saying 東西 (which means 'thing') backwards. You have to remember the sequence though.

    you cannot be serious about this... i think if u are young and have difficulty. fine. if u are a full grown adult and cant? u have issues. let's face it. don't blame it on being ambidextrous, that's like saying i cant tell my eyes from my nose cos i use them both equally. no its not an excuse.

    -noclue
