Another brainteaser

Old one - but a fun one.


A man is in his eight sided house. Each wall has a window in it. Every window faces south. A bear walks by, outside the house. He sees it through a window.


What colour is the bear??? More importantly, why? (zero credit for guessing)

See through.

A polar bears fur is transparent.
It picks up the white colour from its surroundings.

How can a house that has eight sides have a window on each wall that faces south. That defies the laws of phyisics.

Thats it. The house is on the North Pole; therefore the bear has to be a Polar bear and is white.

You missed the 'why' part...


But the prize is the same either way. Very little.



Happy New Year!!!

The next time you're in Winnipeg let me know. Molson Canadian beers on me. And not poured on me while I gyrate for horny female dollars - that's so college years.

In a frosty mug served right out of the bottle. I can taste it now!

The only way a bear could get that rich is if it sold it's coat and then the bears colour would be crimson red...
