There is, of course, a solution.  However, the teacher said it was also

Bzzzzt.  Your teacher was wrong.  Lines do *not* curve, and a line from 
the north pole to the south pole would travel via the center of the 
earth.

Lines are curved if the space they exist in is curved.  :)

Just imagine the earth as a two dimensional, spacially curved plane, and 
there you are.  ^_-
