About this quiz
The four cardinal points are halved to give northeast and its three partners, and halved again to give points such as north-northeast, named after the two points they lie between.
- Each point is 22.5 degrees from the next.
- The three letter points name the cardinal point first: north-northeast lies between north and northeast.
- The score is the longest run of points in correct order.
