Here's a new one: a practical joker tampered with the Great Explorer's
gyrocompass, so it points 45 degrees off.  The Great Explorer thinks
he's going due north on his way to the North Pole, but he's really going
due northwest!

Will he reach the North Pole anyway?  (Geographers keep out of this one!)
