Cool Map Puzzle (and Educational)

I ran across this on Google+ and think it is a good demonstration of difficulty we have depicting the world which is three dimensional in a two dimension format.

This is a fun exercise to do with you kids and an opportunity to explain a question all of us have - "Why is Greenland SO BIG?"

How long does it take you to solve this puzzle?

One piece in particular took me awhile.
