Last Problem:
A very neat office worker wears a clean shirt every day. If he drops off his laundry every Monday night, and at the same time picks up his previous week’s laundry, how many shirts does he need to keep wearing a clean one every day?
Answer:
15 – he needs 7 during the week, leaves 7 at the cleaners every Monday, plus counting the shirt he wears on Monday – he’ll be caught short if he exchanges his Monday shirt every Monday, so he’ll need 15.
Today’s Problem:
A hunter spotted a bear due east. Taken by surprise, he ran directly north, and then looked to see that the bear hadn’t moved. As he steadied and took aim at the bear, he aimed directly south. What color is the bear?
