North
If you rub an ice stick against a spoon, the spoon will always point north. This is because the ice stick creates a magnetic field that makes the spoon act like a compass needle. That's science, friends!

The creatures that use this technique to find north the most are hawks (ほく). They need to go north for the summer, so in spring you’ll see them all rubbing their ice sticks on spoons to point them northwards.
