Southern Exposure (Posted on 2005-06-01) Difficulty: 1 of 5
A normal house was built, with 4 walls and a roof. But each wall had a southern exposure. A bear comes up to the window. What color is the bear and why?

I really to disagree, but if there's a southern exposure on the wall, then that means the wall is facing south. Which would place the house at the North Pole, ne?

Of course, that leads into the solution. Theoretically, you want to assume the bear is white, because it's at the North Pole. However, you could also look at it to the point where there is no bear, because for a house to actually be on the North Pole, there's a chance that it isn't even on land. So there might not even be a bear.
