Flat Earther reneges on his $100,000 challenge offer
- 5 years ago
NOT ROUND EARTH — A YouTuber going by the name Flat Out Hero offered $100,000 to anyone who could prove the earth isn't flat—someone did, now he's refusing to shell out the cash.
In a video posted to YouTube, Flat Out Hero challenged anyone to navigate a plane using flight charts from Point A to Point B, Point B to Point C, and then Point C back to Point A, making only 90 degree turns and flying the exact distance between each point.
Thank the Flat Earth Gods because YouTuber Wolfie6020 accepted said challenge.
In a video called This Flat Earther Owes Me $100,000 posted in October, Wolfie shared his flight path, which checked all the boxes for the requirements.
Flat Out Hero was not impressed. He shot a video response back saying he hadn't intended the word "chart" to be used as a verb.
Also because Wolfie had used electronic flight charts to plot his route, Flat Out said he would have to map the path out again on paper.
Since then, Wolfie has complete the challenge 3 times, 2 using electronic flight charts and 1 time using paper flight charts.
Drawing a 2D triangle on a piece of paper with three 90-degree angles is impossible.
However, when putting that triangle on a 3D sphere, three 90-degree angles with three equal sides is entirely possible—shhh, don't tell Flat Out.
