Wheel in the Clouds in the Sky, Keep On Turning

From A KoL Wiki
The grey arrow does not move; turn the WHEEL clockwise or counterclockwise, and the arrow will point to the correct adventure.

Each clockwise turn used to give the Procrastination Giant a new chore, moving down the list. Turning the wheel counterclockwise used to move up the list instead. Initially, the wheel was set to garbage (Muscle). One turn Clockwise turned the wheel to "Pay the Bills" (Mysticality). If you went Counterclockwise instead, you'd get to "Feed the Cat" (Moxie). Two turns in either direction (both Clockwise or both Counterclockwise) would turn the wheel to "Guard the Door," and provide access to the The Hole in the Sky.

ANY turn away from "Take out the Garbage" used to satisfy the Council's Quest, however -- even if the wheel is subsequently turned to "Take out the Garbage" again. If you neglected to visit the Council before you turned the Wheel back to "Take out the Garbage", they assumed you didn't turn the wheel, and the quest was left uncompleted.

The table below shows what the Procrastination Giant's chore was, and the corresponding effects. Turning the wheel clockwise moved you one column to the right on the table.

Confused?

Note that the diagram, while correct, causes confusion for many people. A Clockwise turn from the starting position brought the blue "Pay Electric Bills" to the top of the wheel (Mysticality). A Counterclockwise turn from the starting position brought the green "Feed the Cat" to the top of the wheel (Moxie).
