Question types: What is in the mirror?

Rule: Mirror images

A mirror flips a shape: what is nearer the mirror stays nearer, what is further away stays further away.

An upright mirror swaps left and right; a flat (horizontal) mirror swaps top and bottom.

Example: An arrow → next to an upright mirror shows in it as ←.

Watch out: A mirror image is not a turned picture: in an upright mirror the top stays at the top.
