Water Images — Questions and Answers

A water image is the reflection you would see in still water directly below the object: top and bottom swap while left and right stay put. That is the exact opposite of a mirror image, and the distinction decides every question in this topic. Characters symmetric about their horizontal axis survive the flip unchanged.

Which letters look the same in a water image?+

Those symmetric about a horizontal axis: B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O and X. Note that A and M, which survive a mirror, do not survive water.
