What way is it rotating?

This is part three of our pop­u­lar Q&A, based on a set of 25 ques­tions that arrived in our e-​​mail inbox the other day.

The ques­tions are about things we see every day, or have known about all our lives. Still, the aver­age per­son sup­pos­edly only gets seven right answers out of the twenty-five. We have divided the 25 ques­tions into five five-​​question batches, so a cou­ple of cor­rect answers per batch is bet­ter than average.

Be warned, this can be more dif­fi­cult than it looks. Put your think­ing caps on, and don’t cheat by look­ing around or using any­thing on your desk.
