Is it a map or is it just the city again?

The Full-Size Map

A city decides to make the most accurate map ever drawn. It ends up the same size as the city, laid over the streets, matching every kerb and lamppost. People start walking on it.

Is it a map or is it just the city again?

Then ask

  • What's the largest a map can get before it stops helping?
  • If you got lost on the map, where are you?
  • What else gets worse the closer it comes to the real thing?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
