    The man starts by facing east. While his shadow points behind him (i.e., west), his facing direction is east. He then turns 90° clockwise. Changing from east by 90° clockwise points him to the south. Next, he turns 45° anticlockwise. From the south, a 45° anticlockwise turn positions him halfway between south and east, which is southeast. Finally, he turns 135° clockwise. Starting from the southeast (which is at a 135° bearing if north is 0°, east is 90°, south is 180°), adding 135° lands him at 270°—the bearing for west. Thus, after all these turns, the man ends up facing West. I used perplexity AI and the answer is west.
