Out for a walk (Posted on 2002-05-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
There are some points on Earth for which the following is true:

Starting from one of these points, you can walk 1 km South, then 1 km East, then 1 km North, and you will wind up back where you started from.

One such point is the North Pole. Where are others?

Mine that is... If you start at the Equator, go 1km south, 1km east, and 1 km north, you are back where you started.... On the Equator.
