Seeking the top school quiz team
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.The Independent, along with the electronics manufacturer Sharp, is launching next Wednesday a spectacular quiz for schools that gives a prize to every pupil competing. The quiz goes on for four weeks. The top team will win an extraordinary range of Sharp equipment for its school - a photocopier, fax, laser printer, word processor, typewriter and 10 graphic calculators. Each person in the top team wins a portable CD player.
The quiz starts with the publication of the Government's school-league tables, published as a supplement in Wednesday's Independent. The first 20 questions appear then, followed by a further set of questions on each of the three following Wednesdays.
So start work now: your school needs a fiendishly smart team because the questions are designed to be devilishly difficult]
