doctormann Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well done J_A_T_F and VinylMan. Now try this one: From my starting point I walk 100m due north. I turn due east and walk a further 100m. Finally, I turn due south and again walk 100m. I now find that I am back at my starting point. Where am I standing? And another - easy if you get the first one: A man builds a house with all four walls facing south. A bear walks past the house. What colour is the bear?

doctormann Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You are at the south pole and the bear is white. Absolutely correct. The house is, of course, at the north pole so we assume that the bear is of the polar variety. Need to find some harder riddles I think. Anyone out there with any good ones?
