The best answer seems to be 30 degrees.

Answered by Lisa
Is that certain, Ms. Sue?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can see the map. What do you think.

Answered by Lisa
Well, it seems to inch more near the 60 degrees, but I will take your word for it.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The key word is "mostly." You may be right about 60, but I still think 30 is a better answer for this question.
