Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I'd like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that'll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)

You're in a square room with a window in each wall. All the windows face south. Thru one of the windows you can see a bear. What colour is the bear?

TF North Pole bro

North pole is in the middle of the room. That also indicates the color of the the bear, because polar bears actually live only on north pole if I'm not mistaken.

Polar bears could live elsewhere too - what's important is that no other kind of bear lives at the North pole

Here's a slightly more subtle version:

An explorer leaves his camp and walks 1km south until his path is blocked by a huge bear. He makes a 90ยฐ turn to his left and sprints 1km east. After checking the bear is nowhere in sight, he turns another 90ยฐ to his left and walks 1km north, arriving back at his camp. What colour was the bear?
