Help

Each picture shows one hand or one foot, turned. A left one is the mirror image of a right one, so no amount of turning changes one into the other. Turn the picture back in your mind until the fingers or toes point up, or the sole is at the bottom, and see which way you are looking at it: nails and knuckles show the back of a hand and creases its palm; toenails show the top of a foot, pads its sole and the arch its inner side. Then the thumb, the big toe or the way the toes point tells left from right. The picture is the whole question, so this practice has no text version for screen readers.

Each round has six questions and no time limit. Choosing an answer locks it. Review the steps, then move to the next question. Finish all six to save the round. Active time includes reviewing the steps, but does not count time when this page is hidden. Speed does not affect your score.

Use Tab and Enter or Space to choose an answer. The number keys also select answers, except when another control is focused. After an answer, Enter goes to the next question.
