Set a frame for an angled viewpoint

Find your own front and right when the facing arrow falls between compass directions.

Use the facing arrow as your front

Stand at A and face B. B is two grid spaces east and four north of A, so your front points between north and northeast. Keep that exact direction. Rounding it to the nearest compass direction changes the question.

Imagine a small cross centered on A. One arm follows the facing arrow; the next arm, a quarter-turn clockwise, is your right. A rightward arm of the same length goes four spaces east and two south. That is exactly where C sits in this example, so C is on your right.

The second drawing turns only your reference frame so B is straight ahead. The north-up map has not changed. D and E are extra landmarks; the question uses A, B and C.

ABCDE
North stays up. Stand at A and face B.

With B straight ahead, C is directly right.
