#爱优牙牙齿矫正[超话]#Hush, Hannah! I have a word to say to the woman. You have done your duty in excluding, now let me do mine in admitting her. I was near, and listened to both you and her. I think this is a peculiar case -- I must at least examine into it. Young woman, rise, and pass before me into the house.

你站在地球表面，往南走一英里，往西走一英里，再往北走一英里，刚好回到起点。那么你在哪里？根据阿什利·万斯（Ashlee Vance）所著《埃隆·马斯克传》（Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future），以上问题就是埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）面试员工时最爱问的脑筋急转弯（Brain Teaser）。

为什么面试时要问脑筋急转弯呢？因为特别是面试SpaceX职位时，需要着重考察应聘者的逻辑思考能力，通过脑筋急转弯问题就可以很好地看出应聘者的问题解决能力是如何一步步展开的。
回到上面的问题。在地球表面绝大多数位置上，向南向西向北各走一英里后，终点是在起点西边一英里的位置。所以，我们就可以首先想到，正确答案肯定在一个不遵循寻常方向规则的地方。那么进而我们就可以猜到方向的尽头——地球的极点。分别用南极和北极试一下，就会发现两极之中，如果我们站在北极极点（North Pole），向南向西向北各走一英里后，就刚好回到原点。
是不是觉得这也不是太难？别高兴得太早，这时候埃隆·马斯克会紧跟着问：
Where else could you be?
你还能在哪里？
