Trick question

[kengr]

"Everybody" knows that if you start at the North Pole, you can walk a mile south, then walk a mile east, then walk a mile north and wind up back at your starting point.

So, now for the trick. Where *else* on earth can you do the same thing. :-)

The South Pole. (Which is how I first heard it anyway, though without the "what color are the bears" punchline, natch.)

If you're at the South Pole, you can't walk a mile south. You could perform the mirror-image of the maneuver in the puzzle by walking a mile north, but that's not the same thing.

Well... yes, but I did presume that's what kengr meant but didn't spell out for Reasons.

Sorry, wrong.

But you are close.
