#only if u know..

Where on the surface of the earth could you travel 1 mile south, 1 mile east and one mile north and end up at your starting point?

One answer is easy to find. But there are other answers. Many of them. Where are they and how many are there?

In my opinion, The most appropriate answer would be.

North Pole

If you're at North Pole and you travel 1 mile south and 1 mile east and one mile north then you would end up at your starting point ( North Pole )

\setlength{ \unitlength}{20} \begin{picture}( - 3,5) \put(2, 2){\line(1, 0){4}} \put(2, 2){\line(0, 1){4}} \put(6, 2){\line( - 1, 1){4}}  \put(2, 2.5){\line(1, 0){0.5}} \put(2.5, 2){\line(0, 1){0.5}}\put(2, 2){\circle*{0.2}}\put(6, 2){\circle*{0.2}}\put(2, 6){\circle*{0.2}}\put(3, 1.5){$ \tt 1  \: mile $ }\put(4.5,3.5 ){$ \tt 1 \:  mile $ }\put(0.5, 3.5){$ \tt 1  \: mile $ }\put(2.2, 6){$ \tt starting \: point $ }\put(0.5,1.5 ){$ \tt south $ }\put(6., 1.5){$ \tt east $ }\end{picture}

 \\  \\ \sf \underline{If \: you \: are \: one \: mile \: north \: of \: the}  \\ \sf \underline{circle \: then \: you \: will \: also \: end \: up} \\  \sf \underline{ \: back \: at \: the \: same \: spot}.

You would end up your travel in a triangular distance. You will travel 1 mile south, then you’ll travel the circle TWICE, and then you’ll go north and end up back at the same spot from where you start.
