Ever lost?
If you are ever lost then just start a random walk, and you will eventually get to where you want to go. This is true in 2-dimensions (ref: Wikipedia, Mathworld) but only 34% chance in 3-dimensions (ref: Wikipedia, Mathworld).
Although our world is has 3 dimensions, we cannot fly so we can transform the 3-dimensional space we live in into a 2-dimensional structure which contain all the places which we can walk on.

hmm, just that the expected time till you reach your goal might be looong. Consequently, the fact that in 2D one can reach any place with 100% probability by a random walk doesn't change too much about being often pretty fucked up once you get lost.
