Gerrymandle

Gerrymandle is a daily puzzle: redraw electoral districts on a grid of colored houses so your side wins the most seats. It deliberately picks 'a fun game over representing real gerrymandering accurately' - and that choice is exactly what the thread argued about.

One reader wants it in high-school civics. A mathematician dropped a paper proving you can district fairly with a cake-cutting trick. Another flagged the deeper problem: even defining 'fair' is a contradiction.
