Description

The Ministry of Quizzes is the must-buy gift book for quiz solvers and puzzlers, from David Gentle, author of On the Tip of My Tongue. Perfect for fans of the GCHQ Puzzle Book, Bletchley Park Brainteasers, and The Ordnance Survey Puzzle Book. Deep in the heart of Whitehall, up a quiet side road, is an office block. Unremarkable on the outside, inside it buzzes and bustles with activity. Civil servants are hard at work, researching, compiling, cross-checking. Facts and trivia, questions and puzzles. This is the Ministry of Quizzes. This small but essential government department serves the nation's needs on all matters relating to quizzes, puzzles and general knowledge trivia. Now, for the first time, their work can be revealed. The Ministry of Quizzes features an ingenious and irresistible mixture of over 200 quizzes and puzzles to be played solo or with family and friends. Not everyone is convinced this government department actually exists. But how else could we explain such a copious and comprehensive collection of diverse, devious and distracting questions and brainteasers? 'I find it impossible to believe you will not love this book' - Daniel Radcliffe

Author Biography

David Gentle has been a consultant, an engineer and a marketeer, travelling from Baku to Tokyo in the process. But the one true constant has been his love of trivia. He is author of the popular quiz books The Ministry of Quizzes and On the Tip of My Tongue. He lives in the UK near Bath with his much-quizzed wife and two sons. His ambition is to one day write the perfect quiz question, and with more than 10,000 attempts to date, feels he has made a good start.
