Because when you see it you do a 360 and walk away.

Wouldn't you be walking right back towards it then?

Meh..

No, because there is 365 degrees to a circle. We use the Mayan calander. That's why there is 365 degrees to a circle, because the Mayan calender is circular. (This doesn't apply to the leap circle)

Link.

This is a very hard graph to follow and it has a lot of words in the explanation about how many degrees are in a circle.

Somone doesn't understand how degrees work. A 360 degree turn ends with you facing the same direction you were when it started.

Jesus ******* Christ...even in Eve we have *successful* obvious troll bait.

Hey guys, what hand does Zelda hold his sword in?

His sword is made of diamond, the hardest metal on Earth.

What else, what else...

I forgot, because they STOPPED BEING SUCCESSFUL ON THE INTERNET

Edit: Awaiting the new form of troll, the "oblivious troll-bait-taking-troll" because we all know the people who fall for them have become more annoying than the trolls themselves

Second edit: Btw, this was put to rest years ago when someone pointed out it doesn't say anywhere that you don't turn more after the arbitrary 360.

Hello, hello again.

I never understood why making yourself look like an idiot was an effective troll

Check your math.

360 radians is 20626 degrees, i.e. 57 full turns + 106 degrees.

So after spinning around 57 times you leave at 106 degree angle, which is away from original direction.

That's an American circle, not a mayan circle. You guys use Fahrenheit, don't you?
