Brainaerobics Question: What Do U Think?

Question

A man once set up a hunting camp from which to go bear hunting. Leaving his camp, he walked 10 miles due south, then 10 miles due west. At this point he found and shot a bear. Then he dragged the bear back to camp, a distance of exactly 10 miles. What color was the bear and how do u know?


HELP:
Its not red because of blood
Its not brown because of the mud
It not pink because it was skinned

If you need more explanation let me know.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Answer 1

you could only do this 10mile "right angle" triangle on each side if it extended over the polar cap of the earth. therefore, its a polar bear - WHITE.

Answer 2

its a polar bear, cause you can create an equilateral triangle at the poles with 10 miles due south and west. Right?

Answer 3

it's not mathematically possible for him to have only dragged the bear 10 miles. it would have had to been farther to get all the way back to the camp.

Answer 4

I asked my bear and he said how do you tell a brown bear from a grizzly bear?

Climb a tree. If the bear climbs it and eats you, it's a brown bear.

If the bear knocks the tree down and eats you, it's a grizzly.

Answer 5

Maybe he was hunting in polar region and hunted a white bear.

Answer 6

its impossible to find the solution because you said only distance and nothing about colour.But by guessing it could be white because a bear cant be of any other colour except what you have mentioned

Answer 7

The bears own colour .And you said its not brown bcose of mud .

Answer 8

Answer 9

its a polar bear.

Answer 10
