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...
