Puzzle II

[Mince]

A man walks one mile south, then one mile east, then one mile north, and ends up where he started. Where did he start?

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

North Pole.

[Mince]

Good. Where else might he have started?

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

South Pole.

[Mince]

No, that won't work.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Chipping Sodbury?

[Diane CBPFC]

The Bermuda triangle?
 

[Mince]

These, strangely, are less likely.

A man walks one mile south, then one mile east, then one mile north, and ends up where he started. Where did he start?

I've no idea. I'm just very proud I've mastered this quoting thing.

[The Peepmaster]

Good. Where else might he have started?

Quite right, Tarks. You got the answer. Where else? Well, maybe the North Pole on Mars, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter etc etc...

[Mince]

There are in fact an infinite number of places on Earth where this happens.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

But not Chipping Sodbury?

[Mince]

No, sadly, that's one of the infinite number of places where this does not happen.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Okay, that was my best guess.

Are you going to tell us before Roger comes on and starts quoting everyone again?

[The Peepmaster]

Once he'd finished walking (after the one mile North bit), did he catch a bus back to the starting-point? He'd finished his walking (he was carried off the bus), and there are only certain places this could occur. Places that have bus stops in fact.
