Flat Earth: The LA equation
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.READERS were intrigued by the city of Los Angeles maths test. The first card of correct answers (1.6oz; two girls do four tricks, the third does five; two Chevys; 22 letters) was hand-delivered by Robert Jones of south-east London. He wins, but we felt he had an unfair advantage, so we have sent a bottle of wine to P Dodson of Derby, whose correct answers were the first to arrive by post.
We felt in such a generous mood - this being Flat Earth's first competition and having spent the afternoon tasting - that we sent a third bottle to Stephen Alexander of Bromsgrove - for his cheek. He said there were no answers, because Jose (the pusher) would have been shot by Rufus (the pimp) who needed a fix, but had no money because his girls had been mown down by Willie as he crashed his stolen 4X4. The accident happened because a tagger was electrocuted while using his spray can, fell off an overhead railway and landed on the bonnet of Willie's car.
