Seven amateur hikers from Zurich claim to have spent four days in June trapped in a grid square. The hikers, who are currently being treated for exposure, say that they cannot make sense of their experience.
Oliver Schrader, the most experienced of the group, explained that every time the group was about to cross into an adjacent grid square, they found themselves at the opposite edge of their original square.
It seems unlikely that they could simply have gotten turned around or lost, not with their collective years of experience, and not for four full days.
This is a trivialization, but it reminds me of a computer game I once played where you’d walk off one side of a map and appear on the other side.
