Brains are weird. They often get stuck in the wrong mode.
Optical illusions are a good example.
When I first saw this thread, my reaction was "Try a sundial."
When I started typing in a response, I got flipped to the other mode and
couldn't figure out how that could possibly work if you didn't already know
which way was north.
Fortunately, before I poked SEND, my brain got flipped back to the right mode
and I fixed up the text I had typed in.
