. In this country, the instructions on the hexagons are completely unfamiliar to you. With random symbols, you attempt to make your best guess to their meaning and context.STOP
signs that have the same four letters no matter where you are in the world, no matter what language you natively use. For much of the world, they see that stop sign with letters completely unfamiliar
