This guy: keeps records and spends extra time.
Me: Goes back home.
Just have to be sure to use the same doors so the string/worldline doesn't get caught.
Yeah, but if you get spun around inside a room you still have problems
If you are doing that by car, then the cloverleaf will add to your spin, not cancel it out.
Three rights make a left. It's entirely possible to have an unbalanced ratio of left to right rotations in a day
Triangular grid guy: "Guess I'm going back the way I came."
Hexagonal grid guy: "What is left. What is right. This did nothing! Nothing!"
Guy on Penrose tiling: "Get me out of here!"
(In before: "You have the first two the wrong way around." Not if they're walking the edges.)
