How Codes Were Used To Hack The Telegram Business

Hello, welcome to The Rest is Science.

I'm Hannah Fry.

And I am Michael Stevens, and this is an episode of Field Notes, where Hannah or I bring little treats from our lives to show you what we are mulling over, what we're playing with, and we also answer questions from you guys.

We certainly do.

I liked how you sort of stumbled on the, "And I," there.

Like, Hannah or who else could it be? [laughs] Someone, someone else brings things to these...

Oh, no, it's me.

Okay.

[laughs]

Well, you know what? We could.

We could just pull someone off the street and be like, "What's in your pockets?"

What have you got?

That's gonna be the subject of today's episode.

Look, when we run out of stuff, Michael, let's, uh, [laughs] let's put that on the list.

No, no, no. We're, we're never gonna run out-

[laughs]

...

but I like the challenge of having to be like, okay, we found this grandmother on the street.

She's got, like, two used tissues in her pocket.

[laughs]

We're gonna somehow talk about tissues and mucus and investigate this and make it a thrilling hour-long episode.

That actually would be a really...

Also, how do you get from trees to pa- to tissue pa- You know what? There's actually loads there.

There's loads there.

Okay.

Speaking of which, here's a little teaser for what's coming up later when we answer your questions.

Go on.

There is a way of measuring tissue and towel softness, like an actual unit of softness, and tools that measure how soft a tissue is.

[laughs]

Like, you can, you can put some toilet paper into this machine and it'll be like, "Oh, yeah, okay, that's a, that's a three.

Ooh, that's a 12."

[sighs]

And, um, so there's...

Look at this.

We...

Let's get the grandma now.

We're already in.

Let's cancel our original plans.

[laughs]
