I walk one mile south, one mile west, and one mile north. I'm exactly back where I started. Where am I?

Answer North Pole

On the spherical shape of the Earth, when starting at the North Pole, going one mile south, one mile west, and one mile north puts you back at the North Pole. That's due to the nature of spheres and the geometry involved on such planes. There are also more complicated possible solutions to this puzzle involving circles of certain circumferences, but the most common answer is the North Pole.
