In this puzzle, all four people are doing something foolish, but the MOST stupid is person C.
Why C is the most stupid:
-
A is sawing the branch he is sitting on — he will fall.
-
B is also sawing the branch he is sitting on — he will fall.
-
D is sawing the branch C is sitting on, so C will fall — but D himself stays safe.
-
C, however, is calmly sitting on the branch while someone else is cutting it and doesn’t even realize it.
So C is the only one who will fall because of someone else’s action and isn’t doing anything to stop it — making him the most clueless.
