No but 3 will
a Right
There is a saying that goes, "Two wrongs don't make a right." In other words, a wrong cannot be undone with another wrong. The saying also has a comedic extension: "... but three lefts do."
Three lefts make a right.
The saying is 2 lefts don't make a right. 3 rights do not make a left.
The phrase "3 lefts make a right" is a humorous way of saying that if you keep turning left multiple times, you will eventually end up going in the right direction. It highlights the idea of taking unconventional or unexpected routes to reach your destination.
Two wrongs don't make a right...but 3 rights make a left!
3 Lefts in a Right?
Inexact. It is like a double negative that turns into a positive, or like the old saying that "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do."
