That is today’s first puzzle:The shape of the Earth leads to many other excellent puzzles. Here are three of them:You are standing on the surface of the Earth. You head north and travel for ten miles in a straight line. After a quick stop, you again head north and travel another ten miles in a straight line. You end up exactly where you started.
Clarification for pedantic astronomers, geographers and physicists: assume the Earth is a perfect sphere.Meanwhile NO SPOILERS. Please instead discuss the shape of the world.

Nobody wants to work with Musk
I'm smart enough to not work for him
