Clearly a frivolous question? Perhaps not. There are several possible answers:
1) If you are at the "North Pole", then you are not at the "Magnetic North Pole", so one mile north of the true North Pole according to a compass will take you one mile close across the ice to the magnetic north pole - and will probably look much the same
2) If you accept the concept of the North Pole representing a virtual pole through the planet that could extend beyond the earth, then to go "true north" at the north pole would require you to fly vertically up one mile in the air
3) There is no "one mile north", of a the North Pole; nor west or east; all directions on land lead south
4) If you can discern north from the North Pole and manage to walk that mile, you will find an angry gnome bitterly complaining about people you take the mickey out of physics. His name is Bert, and he likes toffee apples.

A man walks one mile south one mile east and one mile north and ended up back where he started Where is he?
He is at the North Pole.
How many places on Earth can one travel one mile south one mile west then one mile north and have returned to the point of orgin?
Just ONE - the North pole !
If you walked one mile south one mile west and then one mile north and ended where would you be relative to where you began?
If you started 1/2 mile north of the equator you'd end up a mile west of where you began. Or, put another way, your starting point would lie one mile to the east of your end point. If you started on the north or south pole you'd end up where you started. Or if you started 1.159 miles north of the South Pole. The first mile south would put you .159 miles north of the South Pole; the mile west would encircle the pole, putting you back at the beginning of the westward mile; then go north 1 mile to return to your starting position.
If a car is far north he point sis car north and drives for one mile and end up one mile south how does he do it?
Hugo knows that if the man places his car on the north pole he will be facing north and south in all directions - so driving 1 mile will result in the car being 1 mile south of the north pole.
How many places on Earth can one travel one mile south one mile west then one mile north and have returned to the point of origin?
Two; the north and south poles. Because a compass will always point you in the direction of the poles due to their magnetic emission, if you start exactly at the north pole and travel due south one mile and due west one more mile, your compass will point you directly back to the pole, which you will be exactly one mile away from, and likewise for the south pole.
If you walked one mile south one mile west and then one mile north and ended up where you started where would be you?
One answer is the equator. It is true to say that you end up on the equator again if you started there. You actually would be on the equator, but you would be 1 mile west of your origonal location on the equator. You ended up where you started - sorta. There are other ideas, however. Let's look. There are two correct answers. One is the North Pole. "North and South" are not "up and down," it is moving toward the respective pole. Therefore, traveling one mile south of the North Pole, traveling any distance west or east, then one mile north, would put you back at the North Pole. The other, less common answer, is that there are an infinite number of places on the Earth, where you would end up at the starting location if you were to travel one mile south, west, then north. And that is anywhere 1.159 miles north of the South Pole. You would travel south for one mile, putting you at .159 miles north of the South Pole. Then traveling one mile west would cause you to make a complete circle around the South Pole, ending where the westward mile started. Then travel one mile north and that would put you back at your original starting point.
If you walked one mile south one mile westand then one mile northand ended up where you started where would you be?
There are an infinite number of places you could be. The usual answer to this question is that you are at the North Pole. When you walk south you are one mile away from the pole. Then when you walk west you are walking in an arc around the pole. Then when you walk north you are back at the North Pole. However, you could also be in a number of places near the South Pole. From the North Pole answer we see that when we walk west that we are walking in an arc relative to the pole. If we continue to walk west, we will eventually end up back at place where we started walking west, after we have walked a complete circle. Now consider that near the South Pole we can trace a circle that has a circumference of 1 mile. Once you have defined that circle, then we can start our journey at any of the "infinite" points that are 1 mile north of that circle. In this case we would walk south 1 mile, then walk west one mile, exactly circling the South Pole, and finally walk north 1 mile, returning to where we started.

If a bear starts in one spot walks one mile south one mile east and one mile north and ends up in the same spot he started what color is he?
WhiteHe's a polar bear walking around the north pole.
How many points are on the globe that you can go 1 mile south 1 mile east and 1 mile north and still end up in the same point you started at?
There is one - the north pole. Note that you could go 1 mile south, 1 mile west, and one mile back north to end up on the north pole where you began your trip.Similarly, you could do the opposite directions from the south pole. Go 1 mile north, then 1 mile east or west, and go 1 mile back south to end up on the south pole again.(Note that moving E or W from a point near the poles involves a curved path rather than a straight line.)No, there are an infinite number. At any point on the circle that is 1+1/(2 x pi) miles from the south pole, you can go 1 mile south, 1 mile west will do a complete circuit of the South pole and get you back to where you were after the South leg, and then 1 mile North will get you back to where you started.And at any point on the circle that is 1 + 1/(4 x pi) miles from the South Pole, you can go 1 mile South, 1 mile west will do 2 laps around the pole, and 1 mile North will take you back to where you started ... etc.
