8. Um... those of you who answered "depends on your location"

I'm wondering -- what location do you have in mind where the Sun rises in the west? I need to buy me some land there.

12. At the North Pole,

where every direction is South.

[Goldmund]

13. Even at the north pole,

the sun travels from east to west in the sky. Every direction OUTWARD is south, but circular motion can be east-west or west-east.

Also, the sun doesn't exactly rise at the north pole, not for the same reason it rises everywhere else.

11. The sun doesn't rise. The earth revolves.

[Goldmund]

14. The earh doesn't revolve.

The universe revolves around the Earth, which is stationary relative to GWB.
