Games

Call every Premier League and NFL game blind, rank your confidence, and take a side on the Upset Radar. Beat the machine, week after week.

Guess the daily metro from clues that open with every miss. Distance and direction on each guess, six tries.

Guess the daily mystery metro on a world map from distance and direction. Six tries.

An immaculate grid for metros: fill each square to fit both its row and column.

An immaculate grid for teams: name a team for each sport-and-country square.

See the start of a real series, draw how it continues, then reveal the real line and your score. The Dow, a Warriors Elo run and the US 10-year yield.

Which metro has more people, teams or skyscrapers? One wrong answer ends the streak.

Jump to a tier-weighted random metro from the rankings.

459 finals across eight competitions. Name the winner, then the year, the score or the margin. Harder than it sounds once the 1970s come up.

201 current heads of state and government. Name the country from the leader, then name the job. Most people find out here that they know about twenty.

Call the zone in the Replay booth, where the ball misses by under two units. The zone is sized to the batter, so the same pitch is a strike to one hitter and a ball to the next.

Two feet, control, the football move, surviving the ground, and the sideline to within a unit. The rule that decides it is the second question every time.

VAR review margins: three units, not forty. Then name the law behind the call, including the ones most fans get wrong about throw-ins and the second-last defender.

Third umpire mode. Bowled, caught behind, LBW, inside edge, no-ball and stumped, with the tracking shaving leg stump and umpire's call in play.

The Expert tier is a data-literacy test: truncated axes, uneven year spacing, picture bars scaled in two dimensions. Each one redraws honestly after your answer.

The decathlon. Sixteen rounds drawn from the hard half of six games: set logic, ratios, deduction, verbal reasoning and geography, back to back.

Offside across eras, the 17 Laws, real refereeing calls, and how the rules changed.

The LBW Lab, the key Laws, real situations, and how cricket's rules changed.

The Strike Zone Lab, the key rules, real calls, and how baseball's rules changed.

The Catch Lab, the key rules, real officiating calls, and how the NFL's rules changed.

Test yourself on national-team trophies and tournament history.
