Why would your compass spin if you standing over the magnetic north?

i know the answer, but i want to see how many of you do, if your standing over magnetic north, which constantly moves mind you, and i'm talking directly above it, you compass would spin, why does this happen?? this is a fairly hard question, not many know this, MWHAHAHAHAHA, lol... have fun figgering it out.
 
So now we know what causes the magnetism that attracts the compass. And we know that the compass nearly always points to magnetic north. So what are those two exceptions? If you were to take a compass and stand just over either the north or the south magnetic pole, you would see the compass spin freely. From the south pole, every direction is north and from the north pole, there is no north. But there is still a way you could know where you were!
