Quote:- "The needle is drawn to the strongest field position?" It is not uncommon for needles to become slightly magnetized by being struck (e.g. by being dropped on the floor.) If the needle is oriented such that it's own magnetic field opposes that experienced from the block, then it will be repelled, and will "float" where the gravitational and magnetic repulsion forces are equal and opposite. Note that it is prevented from turning upside down by the tube, but apparently it "wants" to do so, which is why it floats at an angle. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
