Dear S Slatin,

I think you may have in mind the idea that by walking north for ten =
miles, then east for ten miles then south for ten miles you will arrive =
at your point of departure.

Now, what was the question? That's it! What was the colour of the Bear?

Best regards,

Seems like there's only a single spot on the globe where one can
walk-the-walk you've outlined--the South Pole.

Ain't no Bar's there of ANY colour!
