Turning N over
A card with the letter N on it is rotated through two different axes. What does the card look like at the end?
Problem
A square card printed with the letter N is held horizontally, as shown in the diagram, where the arrow indicates the direction of North.
The card is turned over by rotating it through $180^{\circ}$ about an axis running from East to West, and then turned over by rotating it through $180^{\circ}$ about an axis runnning from North-East to South West.
How does the diagram now look to a person facing North?
