Puzzles are part of the aptitude test which is a first round in every software industries recruitment process.We can expect some funny questions in this section.A typical example for this is the following puzzle.
A bear moves some km north and then some km east and some km south and now it reaches the place where it starts from.What is the colour of bear.
It seems to be wacky but it is a tricky question,as the bear reaches starting place in three moves it must be travelled in a triangular structure, which happens only in south pole.Consider the globe imagine travelling along the longitudes towards north from south pole and take diversion to east and travel towards south in the longitude.As the color of the bear in poles are white the answer to this question is white.
