which rapper born in 1972 took his stage
name from the initials of his first and
last
name the answer at the end of the show
welcome to lateral where two more teams
are going to be taking on some tough
lateral thinking questions playing today
we start with i'm vicki
uh during the week i am a museum
professional but at the weekends i make
uh videos about trains with this man
and i'm jeff and i do like railways and
trains a lot and have a youtube
channel exclusively all about them as
well as a joint one so
are you hoping that train questions come
up really very good on railways and
transport and travel
and geography in general that would be
our do you have a team name
uh off-peak only team off-peak only all
right
that might get shortened to to team off
peak or team off depending on how much
of a rush i am yes all right playing
against you we have
my name is lizzy or better known as ld
shadow lady and i make minecraft youtube
videos
and i'm joel uh sometimes known as
smallish beans
and i also make minecraft youtube videos
so we're hoping for
video gaming questions yeah very much so
any other anything else you're looking
for
i'm okay at movies but sport no
science no maths no i i don't there's a
long list of no's
do any of the teams like sport is that
yeah vicky is good at movies and
uh i'm good at sport and pop music okay
at least one sport question would be
nice do we have a team name
pinky and the brain which one's which
lizzy is both
and pinky and the brain and joel all
right again i might have to make that
team pinky when we're in a rush but
is that okay that's cute all right so
team off peak and team pinky
let's start round one
round one is deep thought six lateral
thinking questions 60 seconds for each
question
buzz in as soon as you think you know
the answer the earlier you buzz the more
points you'll get but if you're not sure
hold on and i'll steadily reveal some
clues to make it easier
if you're ready the first question is
going to go to team off-peak
things on buzzers have a look at this a
version of this object currently
available on sale
has sections labelled daytime noonday
evening and bedtime what is it some kind
of
clock alarm clock uh should we wait for
another clue
because that seems too obvious it's
clearly time-based isn't it no but think
noon time think laterally it might be
not time-based so what else refers to
time
that isn't to do with time it tends to
be used by older people
uh like pills oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah uh
a pill dispenser device a pill boxer
like a medication pill dispensary yeah
it's a seven-day pill dispenser you're
absolutely right
for three points each of those words has
seven letters in it so there's one over
each day and it's easier to print but
you're absolutely right for three points
that is a seven-day pull
we didn't think we're going to get one
we're going to get zero
we've got three points okay even if we
get nothing else we're good you're on
the board
team pinky james polk us president
during the 1830s was not an impressive
figure
and sometimes went ignored when he
entered the room at large gatherings to
solve this problem
his wife arranged for what to happen
oh gosh maybe something to do with how
he looks so that people notice him more
when he's
clothing or some sort of weird
clothing device something i have no idea
though or a sound plays when he walks
oh that'd be smart but it was the 1830s
like they'd have to get
got people's attention oh god clearly we
knew that
i think yeah maybe a band played maybe
he had a theme tune when he walks in
can we go can we go for that sure i'll
go for that if you want
for three points a theme tune yeah i'll
allow it
it's hail to the chief it's the
traditional presidential introduction
and now every time a president walks
into a big function they play that
to let them know he's here you're
absolutely right i will allow if you
haven't been to you that's absolutely
fine for three points
is that the music okay here it is
team off-peak in 2001 the artist
milton glaser got the idea for this
morale boosting artwork on september the
12th
which lengthened his 1976 original by
300
what did the original say what
morel boosting artwork 1976.
september 11 was obviously the awful
tragedy okay in new york yes was it 2000
a month
the original is on many tourist t-shirts
the font it's the font it's the i heart
ny font that you get on the t-shirt
okay yes yes go for it
yes i heart new york is correct for
three points you're absolutely right
the original has four characters there's
12 more there in the same font so it
lengthened by 300 percent
okay absolutely points i'm impressed
i'm impressed by you team pinky have a
look at these
what's missing um coordinates
what's missing uh i i've
i've no idea at all i know
nothing about geography yeah i'm not
good at geography what could be missing
there's three sets so that would be
three east and south those are
three points on the earth
so it makes a triangle it's what is it
missing
that is north and west
oh is it north and west it's not
probably not that's longitudinally
together they make something
famous that you can't see the uh bermuda
triangle
ships are missing in the bermuda
triangle i don't know if it's just a big
triangle though should i try it try it
go for it is it the bermuda triangle
i have another look at the question
what's missing
ships yes
those are the three points of the
bermuda triangle so what's missing ships
and planes
that have entered it well in legend
anyway congratulations that's worth two
points to you the next questions are on
the buzzers for both teams
so fingers on buzzers two similar
looking birds of the same species
are perched on a fence in a normal
fashion but one bird is from the
countryside and the other lives in a
city
without any scientific examination or
special knowledge most people would be
able to tell them apart
after a few minutes how
um bye could it be like a dove
because duff in the country is like a
pigeon isn't it
you couldn't do this immediately um
always had to be something behavior it
had to be a behavior because it's not
from looking at it maybe
the one from the countryside have a
different call possibly
pigeons pigeons like in the city would
come towards your pigeons in the country
it's to do with the bird call oh no this
is our sound
got a different accent the city bird
would be quiet well i have literally no
idea
okay go go it buzzing for two points
out on a limb i'm going to say that the
city bird would
be quieter and the country bird is sort
of more used to making more noise
so they would be doing the louder and
more frequent calls than the city bird
i don't know why though but that's my
guess it's not what i've got
so i'm gonna hand over the rest of the
question you've got that uninterrupted
if you want it
clock starts again now right most people
so
normal people knowledge of birds what do
you know about i know nothing about it
the bird calls could still have the same
notes
in the same order
what i have no idea yeah i have no idea
i was thinking it might sound like a
ringtone if you live in the city but
that's really dumb
guess guess have a guess it sounds like
a ringtone
it's not it's the same notes jeff
you were the wrong way round the city
bird is
louder because it's got to compete with
traffic noise don't i get half a point
there are no half points for that i'm
really sorry still on the right lines
you were
entirely along the right lines you just
got it the wrong way round definitely
more right than us yeah fingers back on
the buzzers last question in this round
a performer was asked to stream a
concert on the second life
virtual world by a user they had the
money to pay and there was nothing
illegal or immoral about the request
and yet the performer replied as if that
decision cost her an estimated 118
million pounds which she now regrets
what didn't she foresee
the internet is the one with all the
weird
characters and stuff that decision costs
what's the second life virtual world do
you know do you know i don't know
anything about that
what many people didn't foresee this
either
how popular it would be is it trump's
inauguration is it
oh yes no but why would that be on
second life
maybe we'll wait for the clip yeah some
people have called this a
giant ponzi scheme what's a ponzi scheme
i've heard of that um why would she have
got no idea
118 million pounds not dollars
it's to do with a financial fluctuation
oh yes was she paid in bitcoin yes
she did not foresee the rising value of
bitcoin this was lily allen
who turned down something like 10 000
bitcoin when it was
not worth anything to perform in second
life so that's absolutely right for one
point congratulations
which means at the end of that round the
scores are tied
round two is second thought teams you're
going to see a board of 12
numbers behind each one is a clue all
those clues point to
one single answer that's what i'm
looking for it's got to match all the
clues even the ones you haven't seen yet
but
there's no penalty for getting wrong so
if you're not sure take a guess it might
miraculously be right the earlier you
get it the more points
you get so team off peak you start with
five points possible pick a number
uh eleven number eleven government owned
could be so many things taxes
taxes i'm going to take that accident so
it's it's not what i've got on the board
team pinky pick a number can we have
number four please number four for five
points
works in a vacuum right it works in a
vacuum
there's no sound in a vacuum just guess
tardis
harvest is not unfortunately
government-owned but it's it's
actually the bbc so yeah uh sadly not
what i've got for four points pick a
number uh number
five number five reusable
rubbish rubbish no haven't got that
so pick a number seven number seven
orbiter
space space
space sadly not government owned as far
as i know not yet anyway
team off peak pick a number uh i think i
have an idea so let's go to number
two number two back has two doors
is it the space shuttle it is the space
shuttle you are exactly right
government owned reusable orbiter that
works in a vacuum
other things on the board i love the
clue three legs two wings and one tail
which is
which is technically right so yes
absolutely right that is good for
three points that was pretty close
you weren't too far away that's fair uh
you get the first choice on this board
so pick a number
uh number one number one claps but
doesn't applaud
hmm what horse's hooves oh
it's a lovely guess it's not what i've
got dang it
clopping noise uh for five points sorry
go on
let's go for number three i was thinking
the same
caused by rapidly heated gas oh not what
i was thinking
i was thinking it'll be like a movie
clapper board no
isn't what i've got so pick a number
number six
number six for four points also happens
yes thunder is exactly right for four
points
it makes a thunder clap you're
absolutely right the other things on the
board uh
steadily reveal that oh it's become so
clear now
which means that's four points to you
and that puts you in the lead
team off peak pick a number number
number six please
number six the third degree
an interrogation is not what i've got so
pick a number
number 12. number 12. originally
male only i was thinking about burns
yeah i was drinking beans as well
that doesn't help burns night burns
night is not what i've got
so for four points pick a number uh
number eight
number eight charitable causes
if you get third degree burns
take a shot should i say
michigan no i'm gonna pass this over
that's far too long
pick a number eleven number eleven
insignia and symbols
is the third degree like a book or a a
movie or something maybe
but why would a movie or book be male
only
the tardis i mean it was originally male
1
that's that's fair uh no sadly not
number seven please number seven apron
apron
just make a guess i i marked up last
time you make it
yes the navy the navy is not what i've
got
no so we're gonna pass this back over
pick a number nine number nine
for three points handshakes apron
i have no idea i'm so lost right now
thunder thunder no the number 10 please
number 10
supreme being do you want to say it the
masons the masons the freemasons is
exactly right
yes they were aprons they were male only
and some of them still are
and they have secrets fairly sure that's
not the masonic handshake but uh
i wouldn't no um absolutely right for
two points okay
last board in this round you get the
first choice so pick a number
uh seven number seven the subject of a
mark
mason who's mark mason i have no idea
they all like they know
make a good
there's a look on the faces over there
pick it up pick a number
i have all of mark mason's book so let's
go with number six number six
hundred and twenty four uk it's
postcodes it is postcodes you're
absolutely right and that is for five
points which has changed the scores
quite a bit and that means as we go into
the final round
it is team off-peak with a six-point
advantage okay
okay the final round is
quick thought teams you're both gonna
start with 90 seconds of thinking time
first one to run out of that thinking
time is going to be out of
this game not out of the tournament yet
but out of this game now you have a six
point advantage each of those points
gets turned into five seconds
so you're going to start with two
minutes on your clock you're gonna start
with one minute 30
and i'm afraid you're going to be going
first no but the questions are fast
if you're not sure there'll be a new
clue every 10 seconds buzz incorrectly
and the clock will start on your
opponents buzzing incorrectly you'll
lose 10 seconds and your clock will
restart
is everybody ready careful on the buzzer
yeah all right
things on buzzers team pinky your clock
starts
now in early dictionaries which animal
was known as a camel apart
a word a camel get it no it's too
obvious it's too obvious
quick it was said llama no
ten points away it was a giraffe looks a
bit like a camel
