As you indicated it is valid through the 4th step. Dividing by zero (X-Y) is not allowed. This confuses a lot of people so your initial premise in this thread may not be correct.

Here is a valid mathematical riddle:

You are a wildlife photographer at a small camp in the wilderness. You wake up in the morning and start looking for wildlife to take pictures of. You head 8 miles due south but don't see any animals to take a picture of. You continue by heading 8 miles due east and still don't see any animals to take a picture of. You then head 8 miles due north and see a bear in your camp so you take a picture.

The mathematical question is: What color is the bear?

Being well schooled in the old math, the answer of course is Kodachrome. If it is an Alaskan bear it would have been a Kodiakchrome color.

Cute answer even though mathematically incorrect

Well I tried. Anyway, seeing a bear ( or your camp) from eight miles away would be tough, unless…. Let’s just say it’s Polar Bear white. How cute is that!?

That does it. The only place on the world (with bears) where you could start and end at the same spot with those directions is the North Pole. The directions would work at a number of places a little more than 8 miles north of the South Pole (when the 8 miles east circumnavigates the earth an integer number of times - roughly 9.273 miles north of the South Pole is about the farthest north you can be) but there are no bears there.

That was also kind of a geographic question tbh
