If you need relief from the more serious things of life, dip into this goldmine of questions and answers from the popular 'Last Word' column in New Scientist magazine. December's best-selling title on Amazon - what higher recommendation is there? - it will delight and amuse as it fills you in on such conundrums as How long can I live on beer alone?, Does a compass work in space? and Why can't we eat green potatoes?
