What did Reddit users say about this brain teaser?“Clue 3 – cross off all wrong numbers from clues. Clue 5 – only 0 is left, but in the wrong spot Clue 4 – 2 is correct, one digit must be 0 but it’s in the wrong spot. 0 must be the first digit of the correct answer. 2 or 6 are still viable choices for a correct number. Clue 1&2 – both have 1 correct digit with Clue 1’s in the correct place and Clue 2’s in the incorrect place. Since 6 is in the same place in both clues, 6 is out and 2 is the correct choice and in the correct place in Clue 2 Clue 1 – with only the middle spot available, clue 1 tells us 1 digit is correct but in the wrong place. We know 6 is incorrect so that leaves only the 4 as a viable choice,” explained a Reddit user. A few agreed with the solution. “Clue one says incorrect and clue two is correct so I think it should be 062,” added another. “Discussion: clues 3 and 5 seem entirely redundant and should be removed from the puzzle,” expressed a third. “I like how this post is labelled, despite the fact it’s so easy that the final clue isn’t even necessary,” wrote a fourth.
