What this riddle reveals about how we think

Beyond being just a game, this riddle is a great example of how our brains process information. Under even mild pressure—even playful pressure—we tend to fill in gaps, make assumptions, and move too quickly. As a result, we sometimes overlook the most obvious solution.

That’s also why these challenges go viral. They spark debate, disagreement, and that small moment of doubt that makes people comment, “Wait… I think I got it wrong.” It’s the perfect example of a logic trap.
