That makes sense. It was probably also easier to photograph that way.

It's the nut in the position it was when it broke?
It so; then that will be a contributing factor for why it broke. Ie when the nut is in one of the designated places closer to the pivot the force applied to the nut compared to the force the you apply is much higher. But when you move it out like that, you have to apply a lot more force to apply as much force on the nut as the designated places, which gives you a much higher chance of breaking the nut cracker.

Good point. I agree that it is less likely.
