A bear hunter sets out from camp and walks one mile south.

He sees a bear and is about to shoot it.

The bear grabs his gun and eats it.

The hunter runs away one mile east.

He then walks one mile north and gets back to his camp and changes his underwear.

What color was the bear?
Hint:
He starts at at the NORTH POLE.

This means he walks south for a mile, but when he heads east for a mile he's just walking round in part of a circle, and stays one mile from the North pole. Therefore he only has to walk a mile north to get back!

So what color is the bear? It has to be a polar bear, so it's WHITE!
