I walk 10 miles west, 10 miles north, 10 miles south, and end up in the same place as I started. Where in the world am I?
You're close, but that's not the answer since you can't walk west when you're on the north pole.
how about the south pole?
Can you go west on the south pole? Sorry, no... think about how spheres look like.
You are 10miles south of the North pole.
You found the first answer. Now, can you find other locations on the globe which are also an answer to the riddle?

I can't believe noone is getting other the answers! It's so simple!
Hint: there are infinity of them, but they all have something in common

as far north of the south pole as necessary to walk 10 miles west (or east for that matter) and end up in the same spot...then u walk north, turn around, walk south, and end up where u started

You could also be on the equator.
Or any specific latitudinal line, come to think of it.
