How do you draw a world map on a globe in one continuous line that does not intersect itself? One way to do this is to get a set of places by an organized sampling of the world, and to find the shortest closed loop through them all, which has the nice property of not intersecting itself.Here we find the shortest tour through 16189 primary degree confluences, drawn without lifting pen from globe, without self-intersections.More details in the video.Further information:Degree Confluence Project (www.confluence.org)
