Impossible geometry?
Can somebody please explain what is this phrase supposed to mean? As far as our universe is concerned, any looping map should be impossible (well, at least at small distances). Likewise, when I hear "impossible geometry" I think of something like Chaotic Buildings or Never-Ending Hallway. What exactly makes Cyber Maze and this map so impossible? Cyber Maze in particular seems like a regular spherical map, so what's the big idea?
