Here is a puzzle that I heard at lunch the other day:


Mr. Webster and his three friends decide to go Bear hunting.
They set out with all their equipment, camping gear,
guns, compass, water, medicine etc. For three days
they travel roughly in a Southerly direction for 
50  miles.  Their efforts are fruitless.  So they
decide to change direction and head West.  

This time they are lucky.  After travelling a few 
miles in the Westerly direction they are accosted
by a Bear which they promptly put to death.  By then
they are so exhausted that they decide to return home.
They travel fifty miles in a northerly direction,
when suddenly they notice that they are home!!!!

What is the color of the Bear?
