A degree in what?
How many people in the world have a university degree in enigmatology? Well, not many. As a matter of fact, the number of enigmatology graduates in the whole world is just one: a man whose job it is to design puzzles for newspapers and magazines.
American Will Shortz is an author and crossword editor. He has worked on over a hundred books, and he owns the world’s largest collection of puzzle books and magazines. The oldest title in his collection was published in 1545!
And because his work is also his hobby, he has always been interested in learning as much as possible about the subject.
Obviously, because he is the only enigmatologist in the world, there were no university professors who could teach him an established course of studies. He did not go to lectures and classes like his fellow students. Shortz designed his own research programme, which the university accepted, and he completed his course and received his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 1974.
So the question remains, what exactly is enigmatology? It is the study of
puzzles: their types, their history, and their popularity. It’s a mixture of history, maths, logic and cultural studies.
There were some people who criticised the university for offering a course in such a strange subject, and they were also critical of Shortz, claiming that he had taken advantage of Indiana University’s flexibility. But Shortz has his fans too, such as the former US president Bill Clinton. He sent Shortz a personal note on his 50th birthday because he loves the New York Times crossword, which Shortz edits. Shortz has also been a guest on several television shows, including an episode of the famous cartoon The Simpsons, and the comedy series How I Met Your Mother, where he played himself.
1. Shortz’s occupation is to write puzzles for university graduates. ___
2. Shortz has worked on all the titles in his collection. ___
3. Shortz did original research and graduated from an American universit ___
4. Some people didn’t think enigmatology was an appropriate university course. __
5. Bill Clinton sent Shortz a note on his birthday because they’re friends. ___
3.Complete the text. Choose the correct answers, A, B, C or D.
If you are planning to go to Japan on holiday, you should 1____ yourself to one or two nights at a Buddhist temple. Staying in these temples gives you the chance to visit both historic and remote areas of Japan. They don’t 2____ to foreign visitors, who can experience the life of a Buddhist monk in a unique way.
Zen Buddhism 3____ in Japan since 1191, when it 4____ from China. However, interest in Zen Buddhism 5____ in Japan for the last 60 years, while it 6____ more popular in the West. As a result, many people come to Japan so 7____ they can learn more about it. Staying at a temple is a unique and inspiring experience and is sure to be one of the highlights of any 8____ to Japan.
In the past, in 9____ to join a Japanese temple you had to sit at the front gate for three days without sleeping. Now, all you need to do is make a phone call or write an e-mail! You will often have the chance to join meditation sessions both in the evening and the morning. For dinner you will be served a Buddhist meal,
