Editor Ruby here with a special year-end present from all of us on the editorial team to you, our beloved Morning Rounds readers.

To celebrate you, we put together a full night of trivia in a play-at-home format. Test your recall on the events of the last 11.75 months with your loved ones, pets, and strangers you yell at in the street. You can download the whole game at our website, including a beautiful slideshow, a sound round, and a printable answer sheet you can bring to your Boxing Day gathering.

While we’re celebrating you, here are some statistics you might be interested in (and if you like these kinds of statistics, make sure you’re following us on our social media because we have some fun ones coming up):

Did you know about 4,000 of you open this email every day? That’s so many.
1,131,370 individual emails were opened by our Morning Rounds readers this year. I cannot believe you all read so much email. I am in awe of your inbox management skills.
Every year our readership peaks in August, and bottoms out in the winter. Why do you all want to read email in August? Too hot outside? Bored at work? Ready to go back to learning things? Summer seems like a not emails time to me, so I’m always surprised by this pattern.
Our top three most opened newsletters were:
- “Bonspiel Voyage,” a TonySPN piece about Tony’s year in curling
- “Wrong to the Finich,” Editor Chuck’s Friday-Know-It-All about Popeye, spinach, and correcting errors
- “Wins on Wins,” a birth announcement uplifting Reader Annie, who beat her friend at the Morning Rounds questions between contractions earlier that week
Our most clicked on newsletters are usually link roundups (more links, more clicks), but I wanted to highlight our newsletter with the highest number of clicks, which was this roundup of great protest signs from the first week of the WGA strike
