I came across a brain teaser that was apparently not a problem for a six-year-old but stumps adults. It was published in RocketNews24, a publication that brings news from Japan and Asia. The article reports that this brain teaser has gone viral.
This interesting brain teaser was one of a series of questions used to test the intellectual aptitude of prospective students and appeared on an entrance exam for a Hong Kong elementary school.
According to the article, it was Question No. 21 on the entrance exam, and six-year-olds can typically solve it within about 20 seconds. Can you? Apparently, most adults are stumped by it.
What spot number is the car in the figure below?
