Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

  Instructions unclear, I’m at the north pole

    If you’re at the pole, just walk due south.

  The moon would like a word

    There’s no idiom for which way the moon rises and sets so you SOL.

      Well it tends to rise and set in the same direction as the sun because the earth spinning is what causes them to rise and set.

  If it’s night and you can see both the Southern Cross and the Pointers it’s pretty trivial to determine south; if you’re in the northern hemisphere you get it even easier with Polaris to mark north.

  My initial thought when reading your comment was a response about differentiation of both hemispheres, but the way you wrote it was actually quite clever, so kudos for that! :D
