Lee WA mile south, a mile east, a mile north, and a question about colour.
A hunter walks a mile south, then a mile east, then a mile north, and ends up exactly where he started. Then he shoots a bear. What colour is the bear?
Where in the world does that walk bring you home?
Start at the North Pole and the walk brings you straight back: south, east along a circle round the pole, then north to the top again. The bears up there are polar bears.
Pedants will find spots near the South Pole where the walk east loops the pole exactly, but Antarctica has no bears.
