Riddle

If you were standing directly on Antarctica's South Pole facing north, which direction would you travel if you took one step backward?

Choose an answer

A.South
B.East
C.West
D.North
Hint: It's a word with 5 letters, starting with "N".

Answer

North

Why this is the answer

At the South Pole, every direction you face or move is technically north, since it's the southernmost point on Earth -- so even a "backward" step still takes you north.
