lateral thinking - What color was the bear




This is an old one but I don't see it here.


A man stepped out of his tent with his rifle and walked 1 mile south, 1 mile east and 1 Mile north. Then he shot a bear in front of his tent.


What color was the bear?



Answer




The bear is white. The hunter was hunting at the North Pole (no idea why though...)



The reason it had to have been there is because that is one of the few (if not the only) places on earth that match the criteria, and will only have the one type-coloured bear.
