If South-East becomes North, North-East becomes West and so on. What will West…

Concept: In this type of direction-coding puzzle, every direction on the compass is rotated by the SAME fixed angle to produce its new name. The correct rotation is found by comparing a given direction with its coded name in terms of how many 45-degree compass steps separate them, then confirming that BOTH given clues yield the identical rotation before applying it elsewhere.

Application: Number the eight compass points clockwise from North: North = 0, North-East = 1, East = 2, South-East = 3, South = 4, South-West = 5, West = 6, North-West = 7.

1. South-East (position 3) becomes North (position 0): moving clockwise from 3, it takes 5 steps (3→4→5→6→7→0) to reach 0 — a 5-step (225-degree) clockwise rotation.

2. Check this with the second clue: North-East (position 1) becomes West (position 6): moving clockwise from 1, it also takes exactly 5 steps (1→2→3→4→5→6) to reach 6 — the same rotation confirmed by both clues.

3. Apply this confirmed 5-step clockwise rotation to West (position 6): 6→7→0→1→2→3, a 5-step clockwise move lands on position 3.

4. Position 3 on the compass is South-East.

Cross-check: A 5-step clockwise rotation (225°) is the same physical turn as a 3-step anticlockwise rotation (135°) on an 8-point compass. Moving West (position 6) three steps anticlockwise, 6→5→4→3, also lands on position 3, independently confirming the result.

Result: West becomes South-East.
