Abstract: We show that for every $dge1$, if $L_1,ldots,L_d$ are linearly ordered compact spaces and there is a continuous surjection [ L_1 imes L_2 imes dots imes L_d o K_1 imes K_2 imesldots imes K_{d} imes K_{d+1},] where all the spaces $K_i$ are infinite, then $K_i,K_j$ are metrizable for some $1lei<jled+1$. This answers a problem posed by S. Mardev{s}i'c. We present some related results on Boolean algebras not containing free products with too many uncountable factors. In particular, we answer a problem on initial chain algebras that was posed by L. Baur and L. Heindorf.
