Question

A person wants a house such that all sides of the house face North. He should build the house __________

• A. On the South Pole
• B. On the equator
• C. On the North Pole
• D. On the Cancer line

Hint:

For “all sides face a single direction” puzzles, think of the poles: from the South Pole every heading is north; from the North Pole every heading is south.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine where a house must be built so that all sides face North, we need to consider the geographical layout of the Earth. The poles of the Earth are specific points where all directions can be defined relative to a single point:

• South Pole: At the South Pole, if you stand at the very center, every direction you face is North. Thus, building a house here would mean all sides face North.
• North Pole: At the North Pole, every direction is South, so it's not the correct option.
• Equator: On the equator, directions vary depending on your orientation, so all sides cannot face North.
• Tropic of Cancer: The same principle applies as with the equator; directions are relative, and not all can face North.

Thus, the only feasible solution is:

On the South Pole
