Doesn't have to be a clock. Which way does a ceiling fan spin?
I have lived in a home with a ceiling fan for nearly 30 years and I cannot confidently answer this question off the top of my head.
Maybe that's just tremendous skill issue on my part, but recognizing that all ceiling fans are standardized to spin only one way and knowing which way that is seems like a weird thing to ask of someone who also needs a mnemonic for which way to tighten screws.
That's not what I meant. If you have a ceiling fan in front of you, how would you describe its rotation? Would it rotate the same way as its shadow? Or opposite? Why?
