Test your IQ: Can you solve this test?

by

Today’s puzzle requires thorough analysis and basic knowledge of physics. But even if you’re not a physics expert, good observation skills might be enough to solve it. The puzzle picture shows five people labeled A through E. E is pushing a stone down a slope. The stones are spaced far enough apart that a head could fit inside.

Situation analysis

D is stuck at the bottom of the slope, with only his head sticking out. Next to him, a swing supports another stone, further increasing its weight. Deadly spikes threaten C, who is directly below the highest point of this swing. B and A are positioned further to the side. The question is simple: If E pushes the stone, who dies first?

Ignore the lines on the ground that seem to complicate the scene. D will be the first victim, as the rock isn’t positioned to spare his head. Then, the force of the rock pushes the swing downwards, and C is impaled on the spikes. The swinging motion lifts the other rock, which eventually rolls onto B. So, the order of death is D, C, then B.

This puzzle may seem complex, but it illustrates the importance of observation and critical thinking. If you found the correct answer, congratulations!
