East and west are mixed up, silly. Maybe you were laying on the ground and looking up at your compass?#2: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 5, 2010
you got it, Cynthia :)#3: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Jun 5, 2010 [SPOILER]
or your w and e could be on their sides; or as they say in the Wizard of Oz:#4: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 5, 2010
Dorothy: Now which way do we go?
Scarecrow: Pardon me. That way is a very nice way...[pointing]
Dorothy: Who said that?
[Toto barks at the Scarecrow]
Dorothy: Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk!
Scarecrow: It's pleasant down that way too!...[pointing in another direction]
Dorothy: That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?
Scarecrow: Of course, people do go both ways [pointing in both directions]
scarecrow was my fav character#5: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Jun 5, 2010
Of course for some of us ... one direction (west for me) leads directly into the ocean, or at least the Sound.#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 5, 2010
Thanks for another enjoyable puzzle.
And I very much delighted in reading once again scarecrow's words.

What is an argument about the sides?#9: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jun 8, 2010
It is a mirow reflection for sure.
Thumbs up!
thx naum#10: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Jun 9, 2010
very nice Tom#11: Jodi Olson (Jodi145) on Jul 12, 2010
It is not a mirror reflection, the letters are not reversed. (The w would look the same, but the E, N, and S would look different - the slash in the middle of the N would go from top right to bottom left, the S would instead look like a 5, and the E would have its vertical stroke on the right.)#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 12, 2010
(That's weird - I am not logged in, so it looks like I get a random user name assigned to my message. This was not sent by Jodi.)
hmmmm maybe the mirror of Jodi inside out?#13: Gator (Gator) on Jul 12, 2010
Sometimes people will post links to forum topics. Some of these links contain an SID which identifies the logged-in user. See (I'm not going to do a link!) topic #227.#14: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 12, 2010

This compass must be made by the Tate Company as per this old joke:#17: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 29, 2013
Q: Why should you never use a compass made by Tate?
A: Because he who has a Tate's is lost.

This compass would be OK if it was on a ceiling.#19: Meg Smith (mamadragonfreak) on Aug 21, 2018
this compass is ok if the bottom of each letter is at the edge of the compass. So...if i turn what currently looks like a W to the bottom it now looks like an E with S and N sideways but in the correct orientation. the same happens with the E/W. You'll get the idea if you tilt your head...
