    We can't believe it either.

    Let me help by observing a few semi-obvious considerations:

    Well, lets see.  Water goes down a drain by rotating the opposite 
    directions in the northern & southern hemispheres.  So if we're going 
    talk about things spinning ... just remember they spin backwards in
    the southern hemisphere.  Right.  From the northern hemisphere 
    viewpoint that is.

    Another important factor is the direction in which Leo precesses
    through your midheaven.  Remember that, it may be on the quiz later.

    And finally ... no mattter how dark the night, it's impossible
    to shingle the schoolhouse roof with buckwheat pancakes.


    I'm sure this will help all of you quickly answer the challenge!
