Not a trick question
Suppose you are standing directly on the north pole. You ask, "what's north of here?" Is there an answer to this question?
Since you seem to want to play word games instead of learning something let me try to tighten up the question:
If you are standing directly on the north pole of the earth's axis of rotation (the magnetic pole has n o t h i n g to do with this and you should know that) and you ask "what is north of here?". Is there an answer to that question?
It is not a trick. It is a learning tool to understand something about the formation of valid statements and questions.

Re: Not a trick question
The question pertains directly to the meaning of the word "singularity". While you may think you have a grasp of it -- you don't.
ABE
It also has to do (I think) with cavedivers comment about the singularity not existing.
