Rohit! If you can't be nice and answer his question,
I guess I'll have to.

Dear JumpMan121,

I used to work for Microsoft for seven years
(I was joebar@microsoft.com). I happen to know
that the mirror question is really a trick question.
It all depends on how the mirror is mounted on
the wall. At home, if you have a hanging mirror,
try rotating it 90 degrees. You will now find that
it switches up and down instead of left and right.
It's simply a matter of relative phase.

Glad to be of help,

- Joe
