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.Earlier this month, more than 200,000 British students between the ages of 13 to 16 took the UK Intermediate Mathematical Challenge.
The test, which is organised by the UK Mathematics Trust, aims to advance education for young people in maths through competitions and other activities.
Questions are set by the charity’s problems group, made up of maths professionals, teachers and academics, and the full challenge consists of 25 multiple choice questions and lasts for one hour.
This isn’t the biggest maths competition in the UK – the Junior Mathematical Challenge, which takes place on 28 April, is sat by over 250,000 11-13-year-olds.
We’re putting together a series of questions over the next few weeks to see whether you can prove you’re smarter than a 13-year-old. Some of the questions will be trickier than others, but give them a go and let us know how you get on.
