Question types: Left, right, above, below

Rule: Position and direction

Read a row from left to right. First from the left is furthest left, first from the right furthest right.

Just to the right of a thing is the one right next to it on its right. Read shelves from the top down.

Example: Ball, book, mug, clock: just to the right of the book is the mug, and second from the right is the mug too.

Watch out: When you count how many things are to the left of the book, don’t count the book itself.
