[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 2336, member: 44"] We once tried to convince a young guy who was having trouble keeping up with the rest of us finding queens that there was a simple trick. If you hold the frame in front of you, one lug toward you, and one pointing to the sun, the queen will always be on the left side of the frame. It took him a bit of time to realise it depends somewhat on which lug you point to the sun (having already located the queen beforehand). [/QUOTE]
