Answers.Text: Yes, what you are missing is that the original diagram would be read with white pushing the other way. I will add another diagram.

Answers.Text: Since most diagrams are read with white at the bottom, that is why I figured it was the first position. It is relatively rare for the diagrams to be shown from the black side.
