top.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><\/div>\n<p>You see a horse.<\/p>\n<div data-cptid=\"1502303_teachmelife.net_300x600_1\">\n<div id=\"1502303_teachmelife.net_300x600_1\"

goes down into a messy pile.<\/p>\n<p>The rope is black and very long.<\/p>\n<p>It twists and turns.<\/p>\n<p>It makes many loops.<\/p>\n<p>It goes over and under itself many times.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like a big bowl of spaghetti!<\/p>\n<p>Now, look at the bottom of the image.<\/p>\n<p>You see four wooden logs.<\/p>\n<p>They are sticking out of the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Each log has a number.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers are in red circles.<\/p>\n<p>You can see number 1.<\/p>\n<p>You can see number 2.<\/p>\n<p>You can see number 3.<\/p>\n<p>You can see number 4.<\/p>\n<p>At the very end of the black rope, there is a loop.<\/p>\n<p>This loop is tied around one of these logs.<\/p>\n<p>But which one?<\/p>\n<p>That is the question!<\/p>\n<p>It is easy to get confused.<\/p>\n<p>If you just glance at it, you might guess wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The rope tries to trick you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div id=\"238613589\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It goes left, then it goes right.<\/p>\n<p>It circles around and back again.<\/p>\n<p>It is a true rope maze.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you solve this?<\/p>\n<p>You need to use your critical thinking.<\/p>\n<p>You need to be patient.<\/p>\n<p>Do not hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t just guess a number.<\/p>\n<p>You can use your finger as a tool.<\/p>\n<p>Put your finger on the rope near the horse\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>Then, slowly move your finger along the rope.<\/p>\n<p>Follow every twist.<\/p>\n<p>Follow every turn.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful at the cross points.<\/p>\n<p>Where does the rope really go?<\/p>\n<p>Keep following it all the way down.<\/p>\n<p>Keep going until you reach the logs.<\/p>\n<p>Where does your finger stop?<\/p>\n<p>Or you can try to work backward.<\/p>\n<p>Start at log number 1 and trace up.<\/p>\n<p>Then start at log number 2 and trace up.<\/p>\n<p>Do the same for log number 3 and log number 4.<\/p>\n<p>Only one of these logs connects to the horse.<\/p>\n<p>This puzzle is not about being fast.<\/p>\n<p>It is about being correct.<\/p>\n<p>It is about training your brain to see clearly.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great exercise for kids and adults.<\/p>\n<p>Can you help the horse?<\/p>\n<p>Which number log is it tied to?<\/p>\n<p>Take your time and have fun!<\/p>\n<h3>ANSWER: 3<\/h3>\n<div id=\"wpdevar_comment_2\">Comment your answer below <img decoding=\"async\"
