Yes, my friend rotated it, but there's no distinguishing mark to show 
which way the triangle is meant to go in the cell, and there are no 
angle conventions detailed in the help file.

The triangles are close enough to equilateral to justify ignoring the 
rotation, but I wanted to point out the problem to see if anyone had 
the information to clear it up.
