209: Suit trimmings
Summary
Tom Scott and guests Michelle Wong, Bill Sunderland, and Danny Siller discuss a series of lateral thinking puzzles. They solve riddles involving a misheard "bridal shop," a train robbery where melted silver coins thwarted outlaws, and a Dutch tailor who hid money in a student's suit lining. The episode also covers a 1911 Boy Scout handbook's dangerous advice on rescuing drowning victims and a Dutch stamp depicting a windmill in mourning.
