Unfortunately, the South Pole is not a solution, because the hunter shoots to the North. As you have pointed out, this is a very useful cognitive conflict in order to <a href="http://divulgamadrid.blogspot.com.es/2016/02/descubriendo-las-geometrias-no-euclideas.html" rel="nofollow"> motivate students to study non-Euclidean geometries </a>.<br />There is a second solution, a set of points in Earth's surface where the story makes sense too. Could you figure it out?Sergio Montañezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247791768896074379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891276053127500572.post-14032428146038682082016-11-15T12:57:16.593-08:002016-11-15T12:57:16.593-08:00White.

This is because the only place where this could happen would be in the north and south poles as the geometry of the Earth is not Euclidean (flat) but spherical. This effect is specially visible in the poles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
