203: Looking for a hot rod
Summary
Tom Scott hosts a new trio of guests—Charlotte Young, Izzy Lawrence, and Oliver Vorge—who tackle a series of lateral thinking puzzles. The group deduces answers ranging from the French word for chopsticks to the origin of Boca Juniors’ colors and the purpose of a Transylvanian reconciliation tower. They also solve riddles involving German tank maintenance, the pronunciation of Labubu, and the content of the 857-hour film *Logistics*, concluding with a guess on which New England state features a dead animal on its license plate.
