Great WRQ - loved the "widdershins" q, and notice how it changes cardinal compass points on a flat earth! See top-left of this map of Terry Pratchett's Discworld:

(A link as Forum renders the text illegible if the whole map is added as a picture pffft!)

Thank you, @Mi-Amigo 👍

[Cleoriff]

Yes I love weird words @Mi-Amigo.

Widdershins and tittynope tickled me this Monday when the quiz was posted.
