  • A bear walks around a house that has four walls.

  • All the walls face south.

  • Can you guess the color of the bear?

  • What kind of question is that?

  • How is the color of a bear linked to a house?

  • Think.

  • I have no idea man.

  • The color of the bear is white.

  • Confused?

  • Obviously.

  • Let me explain.

  • The Earth is a sphere.

  • At any point on the Earth, any direction will point towards the antipode.

  • That is, the point directly opposite on the sphere.

  • Now, when the house is exactly at the north pole.

  • Every direction will point directly opposite to the north pole on the sphere, which is south.

  • That is why all the walls face south.

  • Now, in the north pole, we can only find polar bears which are white in color.

  • Hence, the color of the bear is white.
