I want to see if I understand the concept.

That's not a mirror image, but the flip was squared.

when you turned the 2x2 over to get a picture of the reverse, did you turn top-to-bottom, or side-to-side? if side-to-side, that looks like 40 degrees.

He turned it side to side, note the placement of the staples. On the first picture the left hand staple is centered on the opening and the right hand staple is low. In picture two the left hand staple is low and the right hand staple is centered.
If it had been top to bottom the left hand staple would have stayed centered and the right hand staple would have been high instead of low.

Looks almost like a 45 degree rotation.

I should have noticed the staple positions.

I turned it over like a person rolling over in bed, not like a person doing half a summersault. So I guess side to side.

I did it that way to show that the reverse should have been exactly upside down.

My cropping of the image might be misleading since I cropped each scan separately.

So I guess maybe I slightly underestimated the rotation a few degrees so 40 or 45 would have been a better guess. Of course, if one calculates the rotation in the other direction it would have been 315 to 320 degrees.

Thanks for the replies.
