Black. I understand Polar Bears have transparent fur that kind of reflects the light from the snow but their skin underneath is black.

I think.

nope

Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human occipital lobe disrupts the normal perception of objects in ways suggesting that important aspects of visual perception are based on activity in early visual cortical areas. Recordings made with microelectrodes in animals suggest that the perception of the lightness and depth of visual surfaces develops through computations performed across multiple brain areas. Activity in earlier areas is more tightly correlated with the physical properties of objects whereas neurons in later areas respond in a manner more similar to visual perception


what colour would he see ?

what colour would he see ?

If he is like me he sees random things due the drink he has been drinking.

If he's like my friends' dog he sees 50 shades of grey.

If he is like the dog owner he sees a multicoloured universe.

Nope youse are all wrong

if he goes south east and north and ends up back in the same spot he must be at the north pole.
and what colour are bears at the north pole ?

come on. the mars bar is getting sticky

clue - they live on foxes

[WTFH]

Well, pull it out of your jacksie.

Well it's not Polar Bears, they don't live at the North Pole itself according to Google!

If a guy walks out of door, heads south, then keeps going for a mile.
turns due east then walks for a mile.
turns north for a mile
then finds himself back at his front door.

Wouldn't he have to turn West & walk for a mile to find himself back at his front door?

[WTFH]

Wouldn't he have to turn West & walk for a mile to find himself back at his front door?

Not if his front door is located exactly at the north pole.


Of course, it hasn't been specified whether we are talking geographic north or magnetic north.

Good point...
Arctic Basin


"The northernmost documented observation was done at 89°46,5'N, which is 25 km from the North Pole (van Meurs and Splettstoesser 2003)."
