Synopsis

TV maths star Johnny Ball presents brain-teasers from his regular slot on his daughter Zoe's Radio 2 show. Ball of Confusion is designed to twist your brain into enjoyable knots of empuzzlement, from puzzles solved in a twinkling of an eye to some that will knit your brow for hours. From how to cheat in a coin toss to why it is that some parts of a high speed train travelling at 125mph are actually going backwards, Ball of Confusion will bend your mind in places it's never been bent before.

'This is a lovely compilation of puzzles including many classics, and Johnny Ball's legendary enthusiasm and humour jump out of every page.' Rob Eastaway, co-author Maths for Mums & Dads.

    THE WOLF OF WALL STREET 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the memoir of stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The film follows Belfort’s rise in the world of finance, from working at a modest brokerage firm to founding his own company, Stratton Oakmont. The movie delves into his life of excess, corruption, and debauchery, highlighting themes of greed, moral decay, and the corrupting influence of wealth. With fast-paced storytelling, dark humor, and sharp social commentary, the film critiques the culture of greed and the lengths people will go to achieve success at any cost. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The actors used crushed B vitamins as a stand-in for cocaine in scenes where the characters snort drugs. Jonah Hill later had to be hospitalized due to bronchitis after excessive inhalation during the filming.” 
      
    “Martin Scorsese’s films often feature improvisation, and The Wolf of Wall Street was no different. A large portion of the movie was improvised by the actors, as Scorsese encourages it during production.” 
      
    “Jonah Hill took a significant pay cut to be part of the film, earning only the minimum salary from the Screen Actors Guild, which was $60,000. This decision was driven by his desire to work with Martin Scorsese.”
