The offer by the television station was a clear offer to the general public to enter into a unilateral contract, in which anyone could supply information leading to the arrest and conviction of the local rapist in exchange for the offered reward. By supplying the requested information and leading to the suspect's arrest and conviction, Shirley has accepted this offer and is entitled to the reward. The fact that she did not notify the station of her intention to supply the information beforehand does not affect her right to the reward.
