For the ancient Greeks, the art of squaring the circle lay in achieving the feat using only a pencil, compass, and ruler. It took 2000 years to prove the unsolvable nature of this task. Still, this paring down to the most minimal of means leads not infrequently to unfathomed creativity.

And how many pencil or brush strokes does it take to describe and sense an entire city?
