Another added, “One. Only one ladder goes to the top. The rest of the ladders are used to get to the one ladder.” “This riddle showcases how it takes you more effort and time if you keep thinking inside the box. Pulling up the ladder to get there faster is as correct as sticking to the system and using only the placed ones,” shared a third. A fourth commented, “She only needs one if she carries with the first all the way.” “You can argue any number you want between 1 & 6 based on any arbitrary rule you set. The correct answer, assuming those ladders are all preset in their positions and trying to make the move with as little effort as possible, is 3. Climb up 2, pull the ladder up and climb the 3rd. Progress as normal,” claimed a fifth. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Arfa Javaid is a journal working with the Hindustan Times’ Delhi team.
