a person starts at point P, walks one mile south, one mile east and one mile north and arrives back at point P..besides the north pole where else can this happen?

A mountain top?

**Nekas48** · 06-10-2011, 06:00 AM

north south east west denote directions on the plane of earth, a mtn top adds a new direction ...so...nope

**Knongargoapex** · 06-10-2011, 06:19 AM

1 mile north from the south pole.

On my treadmill, turned three directions.

I was thinking that moving east, at the south pole, is really going in a circle!

So, I was right. (mostly)

Congrats Eric!

Doh!

**Yyaqyped** · 10-09-2011, 11:30 PM

According to my son the point at which the circumference of a circle would be 1 mile is 839.52 ft from the South Pole.
He likes to know these things..... & couldn't resist the challenge of working it out.
