• "Scroll 1" in "Daily Tasks" - the vertical bar at the top clearly points to the imaginary "0" and is easy to follow when rotating.
  
• "Scroll 2" in "Daily Tasks" - the house-shaped form is easily associated with an arrow.
  
• "Scroll 6" In "Complex Queries" - the triangle also has a clearly defined landmark in the form of an angle at the top.

• "There seems to be some kind of sequence here, whoosh."
• "We'll wait for the reset z-z-z."
• “It’s all about the numbers, s-z-z.”
• “Well, stop calling, z-z-z.”
