THE WEEKLY QUIZ THAT TESTS YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARTS
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.

ANSWERS:
1 Discworld, the magical planet described in the apparently never- ending sequence of novels by Terry Pratchett. 2 Waterworld, in the hugely costly Kevin Costner melted-
icecap epic. 3 The Lost World, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's rampaging dinosaur epic (they were led by Professor Challenger). 4 Mad Worlds - Middleton wrote A Mad World, My Masters; "Mad World" was Tears for Fears' first hit; and Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) managed to bang together almost every comedy star in America without sparking a laugh. 5 In Sophie's World, the bestseller by Jostein Gaarder. 6 The Acceptance World, in Anthony Powell's sequence A Dance to the Music of Time.
