We love these little challenges that awaken the mind in two minutes flat… and this one might just surprise you! Imagine a simple, almost childlike scene, but where every detail counts: a slope, a seesaw, some rocks, and five people named A to E. Just one question, though: if E sets the action in motion, who gets into trouble first? Take a deep breath… and let’s play together.
