Saturday 1st November 2014

The mathematical puzzle that has captured my interest this month has been a twist on the old classic. You may have heard the one about the explorer who is chased by a bear for one kilometre in a southerly direction, then one kilometre due east then finally one kilometre north. At the end of all this the explorer realises that he is exactly back where he started. What colour was the bear?
