At first glance, this looks like a simple “Who dies?” puzzle.
But don’t answer too quickly… 👀
There are five people — A, B, C, D, and E — positioned around a strange mechanical setup.
E is standing at the top of the slope, ready to push a large stone downhill.
The stone starts rolling…
And that’s where things get interesting. 🔎
🪨 FOLLOW THE STONE CAREFULLY
The stone isn’t an ordinary solid ball.
Look closely — it has a large curved section missing from its center.
As it rolls down the slope, it reaches the seesaw mechanism above C.
Most people immediately assume the stone will push the seesaw down, causing the sharp spikes on the other side to fall directly onto C.
But is that really what happens? 🤔
The missing section of the stone changes everything.
Instead of applying enough force to the seesaw, the stone can roll past the mechanism without triggering the spikes.
