Description
"David Bodycombe has one of the most devious minds I've ever encountered" - Victoria Coren Mitchell, author and host of Only Connect "The only quiz book where it's mildly disappointing when you know an answer because you don't get the satisfaction of working it out" - James Harkin, creator and host of No Such Thing As A Fish From hit YouTuber Tom Scott and Only Connect question editor David Bodycombe comes a new type of quiz book - but can you outsmart the questions? Why do Australians with swimming pools always make sure there's a float available, tied to a nearby tree? Where in London might you find a regularly scheduled passenger train that nobody will ever board? And why was the small Californian town of Yreka once famous for its local bread supplier? Welcome to Lateral - where curiosity meets creativity and thinking differently is the only way forward. Each of the 100 questions enclosed within these pages isn't what it seems at first, and has been designed to make you think outside the box in order to answer it. Whether you're in the mood for a solitary challenge, or you're looking for the next big hit for game night, Lateral is the perfect companion for anyone who loves to think outside the box - or just enjoys a fascinating conversation. "Excellent, sideways-thinking fun" - Matt Parker, bestselling author of Humble Pi and Love Triangle "Mind-melting, hilarious good fun - the perfect addition to a games night" - Jack Chesher, bestselling author of London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers
