I looked at the question and decided on 2 3 or 4 which shows how incomplete the question was. I don't think there are any other right answers though.

It reminds me of a rather more complete question which has a tough answer - where can you stand and walk a mile south, a mile east and a mile north and arrive back where you started? I'm still not sure I know the full answer to that one.

The north pole - whether the geographic or the magnetic depends on your method of measurement.

You'd take your definition of "pole" and stick to it. Okay, you found one, now keep thinking.

Wherever you start from, if your start point also moves a mile east.

Chookie, that's the oddest avatar I've ever seen - is it really two hippos wallow-humping in the moonlight or do I just have a vivid imagination?

The easy way to know where you started is to put your sandwich down on a rock before you leave.

Haven't a clue - it's one of those which Sin was good enough to provide for us lazy sods in order that the coven can't find us.

Spot, I'm ashamed of you - remember, some of us live in Scotland.................. and the seagulls up here are quick.

Here's one:

A man lays dead in the snow, no footprints lead to or from him, and it has not snowed since he was there. In his backpack is the thing that led to his death. What is in his backpack?

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

I met a man with seven wives.

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Take the Princess across, go back and collect the Knight, take him over then go back for the thief's body.

I agree I forgot to go back for the thief's body - you did say they all had to be brought across but not that they all had to be alive.
