Where in the world may a person walk one mile west, and then one mile north and arrive back at the starting point

Answer:

So your walk of 1 mile West is a complete circle. You then walk 1 mile North, which brings you back to your starting point, (1 + 1/(2pi)) miles from the South Pole. The obvious answer is the North Pole. You're either on the North Pole, or somewhere very near (about 840 feet or less) the South Pole.-step explanation:
