If you at the very top of the world where will your compass point?

Toward magnetic north, which is not right at the north pole. Magnetic north changes position, so this is not exact, but your compass would point roughly toward 83 degrees north 116 degrees west.

How do you hold a compass in drafting?
It is a lot easier when the compass is adjusted correctly; If you are using a compass with a pencil lead, then adjust the tips of the compass to be at equal lengths. Set the compass for the desired radius, "set" the point where the center will be slightly leaning away from the surface to be marked, Hold the compass on the very top, bring the point to the surface and lean the compass in the direction of the arc to be drawn, twist slightly with even pressure to mark the surface. Note: If you are using an ink compass everything is the same yet ink is very unforgiving, so go slow. Note 2: If you are using a "Chisel Point" lead, use fine sandpaper to sharpen the point to a flat edge, this style gives you a more even darker line then a standard #2 pencil lead.

How do you draw angle 92.5 using ruler and compass?
Draw a straight line, and mark a point somewhere near the middle. Put the compass on top of the drawing so that the compass points NS along the line and the compass needle is pivoted above the marked point. Read off 92.5 (or 092.5) on the bearings and mark the position. Join this point to the point on the line. The trick to this question lies in the difference between a compass and a pair of compasses. The first is a magnetic device that identifies North, and has angles from North (bearings) marked along its edge. The second is a mathematical instrument, in the form of a hinged V with a sharp point on one leg and a writing implement on the other.
How does a compass determine the directions?
The term "compass direction" means a direction shown by a magnetic compass, one whose needle will be drawn to a north-south alignment. When at a location and facing a certain direction, the "compass direction" is the one at the top (front) of the moving compass rose. If a location is in that direction, it is the indicated compass direction from the current point.On a map, the direction from one point to another is indicated by the up-down and left-right line between the points, and the compass directions are indicated by a compass rose on the map.
