Which car should move first?
Finding a great puzzle, for me, is one of the best feelings out there. Challenging my friends with things like this is a great way to spend the time during this pandemic.
In our first challenge, there’s been a traffic jam at an intersection. However, it is enough for a single car to move, then the others can, in turn, get straight out of there. Apparently, only a fraction of people get it right on their first guess.
The question is: Can you figure out which car has to move first?
Now think for a moment, and do not make it too hard on yourself if you can’t find the right answer.
Did you already find the right answer? Then you have done an excellent job. However, are you entirely sure?
I had to think for quite a while before I was 100% sure that I knew which car must move first to solve the traffic jam.
Okay, are you ready to see the correct answer?
The answer is: car 3 must move first (by reversing)! Then the others can get out of there!
