Hypothetical Question from my Instructor. HELP!
EDIT: My question has been answered. Thank you to everyone who gave me hints and advice and didn't just flat out give me the answer. In the end I did figure it out myself with alot of help from the hints I received on here, although to be honest I was quite confused about the whole thing for a while. At least I understand the concept now!
To everyone else that just seemed to want to hate on my instructor or hate on the question he asked, I think you guys really need to gain some sort of a life. You automatically took judgement to someone you don't even know. I have learnt that in the future not to post questions of this nature on PPRUNE.
I will however continue to observe and post the odd post on here however this will be the last time I ask a question of any nature.
Happy Flying everybody! Be positive! And thank you.

Tell him a low centered over Kangaroo Island is bringing a water laden airmass down from the north causing the geo-stationary orographically lifted cloud layer, so therefore a southerly heading will achieve the desired effect.
I have attempted to answer it twice and failed
Bloody dangerous and illegal
To be honest though, the instructor is just pulling his own wang indulging in his self-importance by keeping the student guessing. Bloody three-bared rock star.

In his defence he did say hypothetical.
Your intructor is just trying to trick you. It doesn't matter which direction in which you fly, it will be the same.
That being said, often the wind just above the clouds can vary significantly to under them, so in theory, it may actually matter which direction you are travelling in.... but you would have no way of knowing that until you got up there.

If it takes a yard and a half of calico to weave an eskimo's underpants, how long will it take a double-breasted cockroach to tapdance through a barrel of treacle?
Your instructor is playing games with you.
It doesn't matter which way you fly, you are moving in the same parcel of air as the cloud.
