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"
Someone pronounced a Polish name correctly, and one with diacritics no less, that's pretty impressive.
gotta use that linguistics degree for something^^
tom actually still has a couple of language videos from the early days of his channel =)
Yeah that was good 😊
Tom has a BA in linguistics, he can read IPA.
Im Polish and tom pronounced Świątek almost perfectly!
This is an amazing question if you know the answer and an endlessly frustrating one if you don’t. Great podcast moment 😂😂😂
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.
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)
I think lots of Lateral questions require random trivial knowledge -- it's just usually not sports knowledge.
I think the clue was in the very, very careful wording of the question.
The moment I heard this I knew it, but I am a tennis fan 😄
Finally! Not only did I know this one, it wasn't from a previous Tom Scott video!
Finally the Swiatek/Tom Scott crossover we all wanted
5:14 Very good pronunciation there, Tom! Thank you from Poland!
Nawet nie zauważyłem, czyli fest dobrze jak ja brytola
"breadsticks and bagels" is the bakery-themed spin-off of Bedknobs and Broomsticks
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.
Tom trying hard not to get the video demonetised when Dani’s mind starts going to the erotic bakery! 😂
I mean, with bread sticks and bagels it could have easily gone that route.
"mind starts going to the erotic bakery" feels like a euphemism, but I'm not sure what for
@@RippertearThinking about butts, I suppose?
@@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
I'm a big fan of Iga's Bakery
It's just down the road from Martika's Kitchen
There is a an Australian supermarket chain called IGA ( it stands for Independent Grocers of Australia) and their shops do have bakeries.
Finally, a Lateral question that I actually figured out!
This feels like a know it or not. No lateral thinking solution possible at all.
Tennis is weird, here in Czechia we call it a canary instead of a bagel.
Ruth, Shawn, and Dani make up one of my favorite panels
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)
When they got to the "what are they _really"_ part, my mind went back to the erotic bakery 😂
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. 😅
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.
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
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.
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
Never heard of breadsticks and bagels. When did that become a thing?
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.
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.
Iga just reopened her bakery, this time in New York.
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.
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
My initial answer was that she wasn't pleased because her entire existence is in an SAT question.
On the topic of the the erotic bakery. My college cafe had a special on Freud's birthday: Hotdogs and donuts.
Lemme guess: Only chocolate donuts?
No, cream filled.
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.
5:15, nice pronunciation Tom
The International Grocery Association near me has a great bakery. Very good maple donuts there.
Iga was too eager to give Madison thr breadsticks.
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.
Being Polish this was soooo obvious! :)
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 🤣
That's an impressively correct pronunciation of Świątek for a non-native
One of those times when I got it before the guests XD
So this is the second time Tom has asked a Tennis question to a group of 3 other people; and one of the people didn't get it despite watching Tennis??
When I heard that Breadsticks and bagels were 1s and 0s, I wax thinning of judges' scores, and I happened to pick up from you're wrong about that figure skating had judges award scores out of 6...
First one in looooong time that I knew instantly. Possibly because I'm Polish. Jazda 1ga!
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.
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.
I was thinking cycling because of the Madison.
Wow, usually I have at least some inkling of an idea that goes in the right direction at some point during the video. This time? Not even close! Never in a million years would I have gotten that one!
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.
one of the few I knew from the start.
i know im way too into tennis because i got this from the first few words
Here I was thinking WWII spy codes, was way off.
10/10 pronounciation Tom
I've been a passionate tennis watching fan for most of Federer's career and this is the first time I've heard of these euphemisms.
Sex toys made out of bread was actually a thing, maybe.
Apparently they were used in ancient Greece but there are only a few mentions of it and it could have been meant as a joke.
Sound like a good way to get a _yeast_ infection. Or at least get a _rise_ out of whomever gets gifted one.
@@Archgeek0around those time people probably just perpetually lived with more then internal infections at any given point
This is actually smart eat them when on day one and he they get stale, they have a second life
Ughh.. annoyed that I didn't get this sooner. The 'usually to women' part threw me 😅
Need to know the illogical use of those words for scoring a game I avoided all my life. 🤣
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)." ?
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)
@@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".
@@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.
3:45 She didn't need a shave or a haircut, she she had no use for 2 bits.
6:40 polish Iga is Polish
You said sports and "six" and I thought cricket.
Lol Dani
I thought it was a Polish bakery lol
I though it would be about like gender reveal tbh and the maximum was cuz twins and if you had more it's worse for some women XD
Before hearing the answer: no idea, but it sounds like something related to sex ed.
meanwhile i thought for the longest time the breadsticks and bagels were an analogy for.. sexual organs..?
Getting a yeast infection from the Erotic Bakery sounds horrible
If we're on the topic of Poland and erotic bakeries, there's an erotic bakery next to my workplace here in Poland, so I know for a fact they are a thing
Why would they go with breadstick, "bagel and baguette" works much better
The erotic bakery was the first thing I thought of.
yippee
Holy shit Poland Mentioned
sports questions =( completely clueless ...
I thought whitewashes were called doughnuts.
The things I know about tennis are a ball is hit and erotic sounds are made. 😐
I know you should not feed bread to ducks. Perhaps she was a duck, and wanted grapes, not bread.
I genuinely am kind of mad at Tom about this one TBH.
He's giving out chromosomes 😮
I thought that Madison got probably got misgendered and received a boy's ration of breadsticks. Makes sense in today's environment, don't you think..?
This was not up to the usual questions, I'm giving this one a thumbs down. It's too vague.
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.
