Hint 2 of 2
Combine the two clues to pin down both the east–west and north–south lean.
Show solution
Approach: convert each view to a compass component
  1. Viewed from the northwest (looking southeast), 'to the right' points southwest, so the tip leans with a southwest pull.
  2. Viewed from the east (looking west), 'to the right' points north, so the tip leans northward.
  3. The only lean fitting both — westward with a northward tilt — is the compass shown in A.
