north pole

[slinky.kate]

if a polar bear is standing on the north pole, walks ten miles south, ten miles east, then ten miles north, where is the polar bear?

[Postdog]

Yawn, back where he started

On a Foxes Glacier Mint !

Oh blimey - slinky - this is the true answer - the polar bear'd be 17.32 miles, at a bearing of 88.7 degrees east of where he started from. I'm not joking - that's the answer. x

Lol - sorry - to explain, it goes back to your maths/physics O'Level or GCSE. You use pythagoras' theorum, followed by trigonometry for the final calculation.

[Panic Button]

You have got it all wrong.

You are surposed to say a bear walks 10 miles south, 10 miles east then 10 miles north and ends up where he started.

You then ask - What colour is the bear?

[Panic Button]

Supposed (sorry)

[Ice.Maiden]

Lol - that's a different one altogether PB!
Double LOL - nobody likes a smartarse tonyted? Are you saying that because you don't have a clue what I'm on about? : )
