I realise this is a very random thing to want to know. I don't even known who would know the answer -- maybe gymnasts or divers.
Imagine a curled-up human body: arms wrapped around the folded legs, head bent forward so the forehead is touching the knees.
Where's its centre of mass? Or equivalently, if it was allowed to rotate freely in mid-air, which way up would it settle?
The body belongs to a shortish, slim adult male, if that makes any difference to the answer.
