I should have known to review the roman numerals--I wasn't familiar with TT.

A man walks one mile to the south, turns, then walks one mile to the east. Then he turns, and walks one mile to the north.
He ends up standing on the exact spot he started from.
Describe all points on earth from where this is possible.
Can you give us a hint? I won't say it's impossible from any point other than the north pole, but that seems to be the logical conclusion?

Something to do with the earth eventually rotating back to the original place of standing? I don't know

Or this puzzle:
. . . . .
. . . . .
There are 10 potted trees arranged in the 2 rows above. Rearrange the trees so that there are 5 equal length rows of 4 trees in each row.I've spent the last 5 minutes trying to draw it using ASCII art, but I can't line it up correctly.
Basically you need a pentagonal star formation. A tree is placed at each of the 5 tips of the start and 5 more are placed where the star's lines (rows) intersect.

Yeah, the north pole is the only correct answer.
