According to Wikipedia: In the United States, a carousel goes counter-clockwise. In many EU-states (the UK, the Netherlands, etc.), the carousel goes the other way around; clockwise. The reason for this is subject of much speculation.
People who are right handed find it easier, in general, to push the merry-go-round in a counterclockwise direction. Most merry-go-rounds are capable of spinning either way.

Carousels typically rotate counterclockwise.
Merry-go-rounds turn anti- or counter-clockwise.

What is the recipe for a draught of living death?

The ingredients needed are wormwood, asphodel, valerian roots,Sloth brain, and the juice of a sopophorous bean (which, according to the Half-Blood Prince, should be crushed with the dull edge of a silver knife to get more juice from it). The potion should resemble a smooth, black currant-coloured liquid at the halfway stage; it should then turn a light shade of lilac, then clear as water, after you stir the potion counter-clockwise seven times. However, stirring the potion counter-clockwise seven times and clockwise once, as directed by the Half-Blood Prince, had apparently a much stronger effect.


How do you set the carbuerator on an older model jiffy ice auger?

there are 2 screw operations on the top of your carb setup, uncover the screws and adjust to your liking, I don't recommend messing with something that is working already, but if your idling hard and need an adjustment you need to turn those screws to your setting, release the screws first, then slowly screw the screw back down, your gonna feel when it hits in place, then you turn your screw to your desired placement counterclockwise.
