I will accept black because polar bears have black skin. Look it up.
Black like the night sky.

True intelligence isn't answering trite general knowledge, trick questions or brain teasers. It's solving unanswered problems, creating something new (in any field) and picking up new concepts quickly and correctly.
Originally posted by darvlayIt's silly (unlike the rest of it) in order to go one mile 3 times and arrive back where you started, you must be at one of the poles (north or south) in thoery anyway - not sure if the math really works.

If you are at the north pole and see a bear it is white (or clear) - well or black and clear but looking like it is white.
Originally posted by Rosa KorganeI thought of that briefly but then decided that it was absurd.

I still think it's absurd.
