After an interview in an office building in New York, I left the office and looked east out at the view of the Atlantic Ocean while waiting for the elevator. When the elevator opened, I turned around and walked into it. I took it down three floors, exited and turned left. I followed the hallway around two corners, turning to the left each time. I then headed down the hall a little way and stopped at the next bank of elevators on my right. I entered one of the elevators, took it down fifteen floors, exited the elevator and went straight across into another elevator that I took to the ground level. I then exited the elevator, turned left and went straight out the front of the building, where I caught a bus. I got on the bus, and the seats facing the door were taken, so I went up and sat facing out the front of the bus. The bus turned left and stopped, then turned right and then right again. It continued fourteen blocks and then turned left, where it stopped and let three people off, one of whom was sitting across from the door. I got up and took his seat. Then, because there is a median in the road, the bus then did a U-turn, went down one block and turned right. It continued on, turned left and stopped. What direction am I facing?

the correct answer is south.
congratulations juan!
When I turn around and get in the elevator, I am facing west (since I turned around from facing east). I exit the elevator facing east, and turn left, to face north. I then turn left twice more, now facing south. I enter the new bank of elevators to my right, facing west. I exit facing east, go into another elevator, and then exit that elevator facing west. I turn left and exit the building facing south.
The doors on public buses face the curb side of the street, and in New York they drive on the right side of the street. When I get on the bus, I am facing south. I sit down facing west, since the bus is heading west. It turns left, so I am now facing south. It then turns right, so I am facing west again. It then turns right again so I am facing north. It then turns left so that I am facing west again. The doors are on the north side of the bus, so when I get up and take the seat of the man who gets off, I am then facing north. When the bus does a U-turn, I am then facing south. It turns right, and I am then facing west. When it turns left, I am facing south.
I was sure of the NORTH but I think I made an extra turn :sign_lol::sign_lol::sign_lol:
