Everyone stand up.
On the count of 3, point to the location I am about to name. Don't be influenced by anyone, they could be wrong.
The canteen 1, 2, 3 ...
Everyone got this right, as it was visible from the room!
The bus stop 1, 2, 3 ...
Most got this right. It wasn't visible but it wasn't far away.
The local shopping mall 1, 2, 3 ...
A few more arms are pointing the wrong way, but consensus wins over.
Los Angeles 1, 2, 3 ...
Now, being in Australia, this location was a source of great debate.
After looking at Mercator and Peters projections of the planet, everyone agreed on a direction.
Now someone says, "We could go the other way around the globe."
Easy, point in the opposite direction to the last answer.
But then someone says, "We could dig through the earth."
I think, in the end, we actually did point towards L.A.
