Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Come Christmas day, everyone’s had a few drinks, the foods all gone, and you don’t want to listen to that Uncle in the corner going on about his life.

You instead turn to the toys that came out of the crackers, and no doubt there will be some sort of puzzle aimed at fooling the ever-so-tipsy people in the room.

Those puzzles are probably very similar to the one on this coaster, posted to Imgur, which is aimed at fooling those who have had a few pints. See how quickly you can solve it.

Still confused? You’re not the only one, as hundreds of Redactors were also perplexed by the puzzle. Perhaps they had too much eggnog?

The solution can be found here. It took us a couple of goes too.

If you’re still bored and your uncle is still going on about his new car, here’s the best shows to binge on when you need to get away from the family.
