Lateral: Wonderful Answers to Weird Questions by Tom Scott & David Bodycombe

Based on Tom Scott's hit Lateral podcast, Lateral: Wonderful Answers to Weird Questions is a massive collection of lateral thinking puzzles featuring 100 questions (40 chosen from the best of the podcast, 60 that are brand-new) and 20 warm-up brainteasers, all featuring real-world scenarios with unexpected, fascinating answers.

Questions are presented with some helpful suggestions to get thoughts moving in the right direction, but even when a puzzle goes unsolved, reading the solution lets readers share in the “aha!” moment, accompanied by fun supplementary details and extra commentary that celebrates insight and problem-solving with enthusiasm, curiosity, and humor.
