The only person named Iga that I know of is Swiątek, but instead of scoring my mind went to "breadstick and bagel form a really odd-shaped tennis racket if you think about it"

@MrHudson2212 Год назад

Someone pronounced a Polish name correctly, and one with diacritics no less, that's pretty impressive.

@SharienGaming Год назад

gotta use that linguistics degree for something^^ tom actually still has a couple of language videos from the early days of his channel =)

@matiwrubli Год назад

Yeah that was good 😊

@maciejrataj4255 Год назад

Tom has a BA in linguistics, he can read IPA.

@bunjection Год назад

Im Polish and tom pronounced Świątek almost perfectly!

@maximama Год назад

This one felt so different. I feel like almost all Lateral riddles can be figured out with clues and lots and lots and lots of logical thinking and deductions. I was able to get to 1's and 0's when the clue was given that we weren't talking about actual bread but I feel like that's where logical thinking stops and you just have to posses enough trivial knowledge to figure this one out, as Tom ended up completely giving away the answer.

@sirBrouwer Год назад

When I first heard this on the podcast version. My first thought was that it was a metaphor for a pregnancy test. like the breadstick is a negative. a bagel is positive. 1 bagel only means the test is working. the second bagel is you are pregnant. No Idea what two breadsticks would mean. (maybe test is not working)

@padraiglohan Год назад

I think lots of Lateral questions require random trivial knowledge -- it's just usually not sports knowledge.

@xchronox0 Год назад

I think the clue was in the very, very careful wording of the question.

"breadsticks and bagels" is the bakery-themed spin-off of Bedknobs and Broomsticks

@Gandalf00UK Год назад

Tom trying hard not to get the video demonetised when Dani’s mind starts going to the erotic bakery! 😂

@hebl47 Год назад

I mean, with bread sticks and bagels it could have easily gone that route.

@Rippertear Год назад

"mind starts going to the erotic bakery" feels like a euphemism, but I'm not sure what for

@Archgeek0 Год назад

@@RippertearThinking about butts, I suppose?

@Rippertear Год назад

@@Archgeek0 I guess? That feels too easy and obvious, I'm thinking it has to be subtler and more esoteric than that. Like "Ah, don't mind them, their mind's gone off to the erotic bakery" meaning someone's caught up in an idea that, while it might sound appealing to some on its face, would never actually work. Sort of like Dashcon, or cryptocurrency evangelists

@tomwatts703 Год назад

I was pretty happy with myself for twigging 'breadstick = 1 and bagel = 0' but I also thought it was something computery until Tom said otherwise. I'm not a sports person at all but it's always interesting to hear nicknames like this and where they come from.

Finally, a Lateral question that I actually figured out!

I'm a big fan of Iga's Bakery

@michaelocyoung Год назад

Iga is the name of the guy who made the rpg Castlevania games like symphony of the night and now makes bloodstained ritual of the night

@ReyosBlackwood Год назад

When tom said the best would be a six and this is a game, I thought cricket, since "six runs" is a cricket thing, I believe the most runs you can score without actually doing the running (similar to a home run in baseball, the ball ends up out of play I think)

@Zymi1 Год назад

5:15, nice pronunciation Tom

@Makhiel Год назад

Tennis is weird, here in Czechia we call it a canary instead of a bagel.

@antonm_ Год назад

hmmm... I followed tennis since I was a kid, never knew breadsticks and bagels were terminologies in the court. Is it just slang or is it some regional term used by umpires? I kinda got "bagel" since it is general slang for getting a zero score in a lot of sports. Also, I thought Iga's bakery was the French Open. 😅

@DaTimmeh 4 месяца назад

As a long time tennis player, I had never heard bread stick for 6-1. Bagel, yes, like in many other sports, as you mentioned. And yes, they're absolutely slang, not official terms.

@metropod Год назад

I LITERALLY, not kidding the absolute slightest, saw the answer to this THIS MORNING on the side of a subway train! Uber bought some exterior ads on the #7 subway line here in New York, which stops near the tennis center where they hold the US open which starts in a few days and as it was promoting all thier services, because of uber eats, it had tennis terms related to food, including what a bagel means in tennis.

@cmelonwheels Год назад

Ngl I spent solidly the first half of this question focused on "not best pleased" because that is definitely not a construction that I have in my vocabulary, and I REALLY kept wondering if it was Very Specific Question Wording

@Spanner1971B Год назад

This feels like a know it or not. No lateral thinking solution possible at all.

@Andrew_Fernie Год назад

Never heard of breadsticks and bagels. When did that become a thing?

@dylanrambow2704 Год назад

As far as the "erotic bakery" idea goes, there is a bakery in Illinois called "2 Girls 1 Cupcake." It's a normal bakery, except for its name. Lol

@bob_._. Год назад

I guess it's been too long since I've played tennis; I've never heard of those terms outside the world of high carbohydrate foodstuffs.

@Rognik 7 месяцев назад

Iga gave her name to a grocery store chain in Canada. Oh, wait, I'm told that it's IGA standing for Independent Grocer's Association.

@mysteryshrimp Год назад

I played highly competitive tennis for about a decade, my dad was captain if his college tennis team, and I have never, not once, heard it referred to as breadsticks and bagels. Maybe it's a more recent thing than my career-ending rotator cuff surgery, though.

@sammarks9146 Год назад

My initial answer was that she wasn't pleased because her entire existence is in an SAT question.

@Sku11Leader 10 месяцев назад

The International Grocery Association near me has a great bakery. Very good maple donuts there.

@tonypang83 Год назад

In Chinese, it'd sometimes be an egg, not a bagel... which incidentally links back to the answer to this riddle, as some people believe the actual word used has this same origin.

@Westing-er3fb 3 месяца назад

My initial thought was Iga supplied those baked goods to women who had given birth, breadsticks for boys and bagels for girls, and Madison wasn't pleased because she had given birth to twins.

@pieterfaes6263 Год назад

The moment they said it was about a game, I got "Oh dammit it's about _those_ two". The breadstick must have thrown me off, it is not nearly as well known a term as a bagel for those not familiar with that kind of game.

@ukaszcieluba1596 Год назад

@igorbednarski8048 Год назад

That's an impressively correct pronunciation of Świątek for a non-native

@sweetsandcharades8383 11 месяцев назад

I honestly thought it would be some secret code/message thing during WWII or something like that. Also was very interested in whether Madison was a man or woman and whether it was Madison or Iga who was displeased because that sentence could mean both things.

@cassiebottorff1280 Год назад

I was COMPLETELY wrong 🤣 I was guessing it was someone doing data entry in a hospital and they gave a girl (with XX chromosomes) the wrong entry, making it XY in the system, and it had to be changed later at great expense 🤣

@panda4247 Год назад

The question was very weirdly phrased. "She can once gave (it) to Madison, but she was not best pleased (about it)." that sound like Iga was not pleased about it, i.e. she had to give something to Madison but she did not want to. shouldn't the question be phrased "She can once gave (it) to Madison, who was not best pleased (about it)." ?

@lateralcast Год назад

I take your point, but (if my grammar is correct) you would have to use "whom" in that example, and I have an aversion to using that word because few people seem to understand it and it's quite hard to pronounce. -- David (producer)

@panda4247 Год назад

@@lateralcast hmmm... I thought "whom" is used when the person is an object of the sentence. Since Madison is supposed to be the subject of that sentence (of the second part of the sentence) I believe "who" should be the correct word. I believe my original understanding might be rephrased with the word "whom" :) "She (Iga) once gave it to Madison, but she (the subject is still Iga) was not pleased with whom she had to give it to".

@pepkin88 Год назад

@@lateralcast There should be "who" in this case. There's a test to check which one is correct: substitute it with the associated pronoun to see if it sounds good or not. For "who" that would be "he/she", for "whom" that would be "him/her". So: "she was not best pleased about it" sounds ok, but "her was not best pleased about it" does not.

@Aviertje Год назад

I didn't know the two sports people (sports isn't my thing at all) so I stood no chance at ever figuring it out. That said, my mind was on sports from pretty early on, figuring it was some sort of artistic swimming or judo question due to the names involved.

@sophiamarchildon3998 Год назад

Initial thoughts: I don't know who Ida or Madison are. But stick and hole sexual innuendos pop up. So maybe Madison was virgin, vowed celibacy, homosexual, unable/reluctant to create a child, etc. Thus, that gift would be interpreted as a taunt, mockery, or unwanted pressure, ... But that's not Lateral; that's what most internet dwellers would have their thoughts gravitate towards. So, let's think, breadstick and bagel, not in a sexual way... I've got nothing. Maybe "axel and wheel"? Like Madison proposed a "revolutionary" mechanism that could simply be reduced to that, or that could be much easily and cheaply done with that.
