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? asgb!vasudev PS: Solution next week
