I'll give you that one, darvlay. Black is the correct colour. Not the night sky, however. I might also have accepted "clear". The type of bear was indeed a polar bear. Polar bears have clear fur. It appears white because of the light reflecting of the snow. Saying they are white is like saying the sky is blue, even though we've confermed that the sky is black. I will accept black because polar bears have black skin. Look it up.
Saw a polar bear at the zoo. There was no snow. His fur was white.

4. Show whether the Hodge Conjecture is true or false.

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.
Have you solved any of these Questions?
How?
What?
Why?
Can you show whether the Hodge Conjecture is true or false?

Assuming you have not, Does that mean you are not intelligent? Or not intelligent until you do?

I still think it's absurd.
It's a very old riddle. There has been at least one thread on this site about it and probably more.

I have answered the two first questions in the Spirituality Asylum a while ago.

1. God works in mysterious ways.
2. For God, everything is possible.
And if the third question were "What!?😕" rather than "What?", the answer would be "Only a true believer would understand."

I think EAPOE has the correct answer to the hiking question.
The noth pole is the only place that the geometry makes sense,
The hikers path MUST have been triangular,since there is only three
points to it. The bear had to be white.
