Hello Charles -
You have a misunderstanding of how the overhead view is read, because  
this diagram is absolutely correct! Of course they must have the same  
shading, otherwise it would be incorrect...they cannot be  
opposite...so there is nothing wrong about it! I will try to create a  
diagram for you tomorrow to help you understand it...05 is seen from  
overhead with the baby finger to the floor, and it has the baby  
finger to the floor as it rotates around...and you are looking on top  
and seeing the thumb projecting straight at you...words are no  
good...pictures will help tomorrow...smile...Val ;-)

PS. 05 is exactly like the S hand...think of the S hand parallel to  
the floor... the dark is on top because you are looking from  
above...it is like the side of the hand, except seen from  
above...smile...
