How would you work this...

You are facing north. You turn 270 degrees counterclockwise. Which direction are you facing?

Is it West? You start out at 90 and go from there? I don't know...

Counter clockwise is the opposite from the way the hands on an analogue clock move.

You start out at 0, facing north. Turn 90 degrees counter clockwise and you're facing west. Turn another 90 degrees and you're facing south.

Continue from there.
