If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The North Pole. Took me about 10 seconds to figure that out.
[edit] Reading the whole link, not just the question, I would not have realized that there were 2 answers, though I did consider the South Pole, but you can't walk South from the South Pole, so I dismissed any options from there. I'm still having trouble visualizing that answer. [/edit]

Yeah. That's why he's (and you're) a rocket surgeon.
It's the second one that's a little trickier (and sillier)

Quite so (see my [edit]) What I'm not clear about is that the starting point has to be more than 1 mile north of the South Pole, otherwise "west" is meaningless if you're right at the South Pole.

There are multiple solutions to the Southern one. Your one mile West can be several laps of the Pole.

The South Pole is now the South Hole, dug by the feet of those walking in ever-diminishing circles.

I don't know of a single kid of 10+ years who are not familiar with that riddle.
Let me suggest a modification: You can't go one mile south, that is impossible. So you go one mile north, and then one mile west. How far are you from your starting point?
(It is the same riddle, but in a different wrapping.)

Theoretically there are two more answers, at least if using a compass. The North Magnetic Pole and a location near the South Magnetic Pole.

Quote: [Musk] tends to care less about whether or not the person gets the answer than about how they describe the problem and their approach to solving it. I've heard this countless times concerning trick questions, and have concluded that it's a form of confirmation bias. That is, the decision to hire or not is made in the first thirty seconds and everything else just confirms that decision. When you ask the interviewer what they actually learned about the interviewee, they rarely have a more than trivial answer.
