Each and every word in this list has the same unusual uniqueness in common. Here are the words:
Assess Banana Dresser Grammar Potato Revive Uneven Voodoo
Hint: the order of the words is irrelevant.

Venom, can you fully elucidate the answer? You are on the edge of the solution.

I think V got it. They are all one letter away from reading the same forwards as backwards. Which I know the word for normally but forgot ;D

yeah--he got it. I just wanted Ube to understand. Remove the 1st letter and you get a palindrome.
----------------- A man and a woman walked side by side for 1 hour. They started and stopped at the same time. The woman walked 2 miles and the man walked 3 miles. How is this possible?

They walked in a circle and he was the one on the outter side of it?

I was trying to think of that word, but my brain wasn't working at the time so I just wrote that instead. And I think Ube is right no this next one.

The mans legs were longer by enough to compensate for the difference...

Ube is wrong! That is not the answer.

They covered two miles in the hour, then the man picked the woman up and carried her the last mile.

They covered two miles in the hour, then the man picked the woman up and carried her the last mile. No. I am afraid to give a hint without giving away the answer. But I will say this. They both started and stopped at the same time. They did not walk in a circle.

A hunter travels 1 mile south from his base camp, then 1 mile east, then 1 mile north only to discover that a bear has damaged his tent back at base camp.
What color was the bear?

I'm not sure what him being one mile east of his basecamp does to this story...

He is not 1 mile east of camp, or he would not have seen his damaged tent.

It would have to be wet as there's a large lake where his base camp is these days. Mind you if he was using a compass to site his base camp, then the bear would have been white...
