He throws the discus out of the throwing circle traveling from one side of the circle (9 o'clock) and sees him release the discus at the other side (3 o'clock). The correct position for releasing the discus is clearly marked on the circle at the 12 o'clock position.

As she enters the bedroom where Hubble is sleeping in the bed the kettle starts to whistle which startles Hubble. The kettle would not have whistled with the top lop-sided.
