Whatever word you'd care to apply to 2022, no one can deny it's been eventful. Russia invaded Ukraine, Boris Johnson resigned, the Queen passed the baton to Charles after a 70-year reign, heat records were broken, food and energy bills went through the roof, fading celebrities discovered that libel laws are a great way to generate publicity, Liz Truss spent more money in her first week as PM than anyone since the war, and - as usual - most of the biggest stories broke while HIGNFY was off the air. What better way, then, to commemorate a year most of us probably want to forget than with over 1,000 quiz questions about it? There's the Missing Words Round, the Odd One Out Round, loads of rounds that we've nicked from other puzzle books, and for any insomniacs out there, there's even one on the Labour Party. With questions on everything from politics to pop culture, and Paul Merton and Ian Hislop's predictions for 2023, Have I Got News For You: The Quiz of 2022 promises hours of entertainment (albeit probably by candlelight) and will serve as the ultimate souvenir of a rollercoaster year.
Over twenty years ago Nikoli, the Japanese puzzle and game company,
started publishing a curious logic puzzle called Sudoku. The rest
of the world recently joined the Sudoku craze by using computer
programs to create puzzles, but Nikoli is the only company that
still crafts their puzzles the old-fashioned way: by hand. As "Ad
Age" wrote in a profile, the Nikoli credo is "The Best Puzzles Are
Made by Happy Employees." And for solvers, it really does make a
difference--there's an elegance and symmetry to the puzzles, plus a
sense of interaction. The puzzle-maker knows just when to
encourage, and when to withhold. Puzzles marked "Easy," are easy
because the puzzler leads you through. Those marked "Very Hard" are
exactly that--they pit your mind against the mind of the master,
who seems to share the joy of that moment when one hard-won number
is captured, and the entire puzzle tumbles into place.
