north

I don't know much about science; however, I do remember being taught that opposite magnetic poles attract one another and like poles repel one another.
Trying to answer this question logically, I have come to the conclusion that for a north seeking pole of a magnet to actually point to the north pole it would have to actually be a south seeking pole of a magnet; else it being a north seeking pole of a magnet would be repelled by the north magnetic pole of the earth or another magnet and point to the south magnetic pole of the earth or repel the other magnetic source so that it turns itself to have it's south pole face the north pointer.
How's that?:-)

it is the "north SEEKING" pole so it points north. It is attracted to the opposite charge at magnetic north. this might be where the confusion is.

Youve really answered your own question,ie-you said a north"seeking",pole,ie it seeks the north pole,so it points to the north.
