The Japanese flag normally features a red circle on white background, representing the rising sun. But in L∞ norm (infinity norm), distances are measured by the maximum coordinate difference rather than Euclidean distance. So instead of a circle, you get a square. The kind of joke that makes mathematicians snort coffee through their noses while everyone else at the conference table wonders what's wrong with them.
