Directional Clock Movement Analysis
To solve this, we map the clock positions to cardinal directions:
- 12 o'clock = North
- 9 o'clock = West
- 6 o'clock = South
- 3 o'clock = East
Step-by-Step Movement
-
Movement 1: 12 o'clock to 9 o'clock
The person starts facing North (12) and walks towards West (9). The final facing direction is West.
-
Movement 2: 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock
The person is now facing West (9) and walks towards South (6). The final facing direction is South.
-
Movement 3: 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock
The person is facing South (6) and walks towards East (3). The final facing direction is East.
Therefore, the person is finally facing the East direction.
