What a winning combination. A guy with an ingratiating personality who loves and promotes something (i.e. puzzles) that is fun, mind-stimulating, and wholesome. Will Shortz rocks!
Truth! Will Shortz is honestly that interested in puzzles, and, alas, not too much else, except maybe for table tennis. Nice, though, for puzzle addicts to have such an adorable, dedicated, relentlessly cutting edge pusher! We love Will! Especially me!

Vill Schwartz? This is the guy who comes on Weekend Edition on NPR and always has a correction for the previous week's puzzle answer? This is the guy who creates word puzzles that swap accented characters for non-accented characters and vice versa? This is the guy whose "puzzles" contain so many gross technical errors that he has an outstanding warrant for his arrest on charges of Mass Stupidity at the Hague?
For those who haven't seen the movie, Wordplay, - its equally as interesting as this video, if not more. I know, a documentary about crosswords wouldn't typically seem exciting - but it is!
Hot chick.

I had a teacher in school that was a lot like this guy, he really liked crossword puzzles, he could do a normal one in under 5 minutes.

Interesting guy. Although, it's pretty sad he wasted so much time on something that doesn't "excite" him (Law School).

sudoku actually has nothing to do with math, just numbers
maxxramman 5 years ago
no, there are equations you can use to solve them. my teacher showed us an algabreac equation but we got bored and forgot it.

I don't even do this kinda stuff yet I enjoyed the video, I might try Sudoku or whatever that is because I enjoy math.

Sad that some people's lives are so meaningless that they are compelled to comment on things they find boring or don't care about. Sad, sad...

I worked on the movie "Wordplay," and met him several times. He's just a nice guy who loves the puzzles. Big deal guys...stop attacking him.
