Before even getting into the episode, I must complain about the episode art: The highway sign says “ROUTE” and has the shape of a US Highway shield (which is often called “route”, so that’s correct), but is then colored like an Interstate Highway shield, which is a very different system and should not be confused (US (and state) routes are basically just normal roads, just higher priority, and Interstate highways are major controlled-access thoroughfares with much stricter design standards)
I solved the triangular number question before they did, and felt quite pleased with myself.
Stuart solved the football question so quickly that I didn’t even have time to think.
I already knew answer to the Rubik’s cube question, but really enjoyed hearing them speculate about the potential competitive advantages of nodding during inspection time or starting/stopping the timer with one’s head!
That would be the now-convicted Sam Bankman-Fried, I imagine
Knowing some Russian/Cyrillic, I beat them to the actual meaning, but was still annoyed I didn’t make that jump myself. Though maybe if I had written it down, it would’ve been more obvious: Kohuept / Концерт.
Thanks for posting these again! I do think they jumped to the answer a bit too quickly on the bunker question. I would have enjoyed listening to them struggle a wee bit longer. Overall still an enjoyable episode though.
How do people here feel on Lateral highlights now?
I used to make posts for each episode (like this one), but stopped as they hardly got any engagement and just weren’t worth the effort I was putting in. Should I bring them back? Does Lateral hold more interest now with main channel videos out of the way?
Honestly, just more than 5 upvotes would be appreciated. I know this is a small community on a small platform, but when I can count the number of people who like the Lateral posts on one hand, while videos tend to get at least 20 points, that’s a notable underperformance.
Even this post is +19, I’ll take that as a sign and try again for the next episode this Friday

NewPipe is a great youtube viewer for Android, it can also download. FOSS
4K video downloader you only need to pay to use youtube premium or auto download new videos. Free version works on win, mac, and linux.

Good for him. He deserves a break and a private life. Will miss the content, but im happy Lateral stays, it has quickly worked my way into my weekly podcast rotation.
