Which number is funnier: 14 or 22?
Clue: This is according to editor Robert Gottlieb
Answer: 22. Catch-18 was the original title of Joseph Heller’s novel, but it was changed when a competing novel about WWII also had 18 in the title. The number 14 was initially suggested, but Heller's editor Robert Gottlieb felt 22 was a funnier number than 14. (The answer is in black text on the black background. Highlight it to view.)
