While some expressed how the brain teaser left them baffled, some shared answers they got after solving it. Take a look at how people reacted to this brain teaser:“Dig 1 – B, dig 2 – C, dig 3 – F, dig 4 – F, dig 5 – I, grab treasure, dig 6 – H, E drops, climb E, dig 7 – D, A drops, climb A,” posted a Reddit user. “This is taking way too long,” commented another. “I can’t wrap my head around it,” joined a fourth. “Explanation of solution: To reach the treasure, Thornwood must get rid of all three blocks in the rightmost column. Given that, and given that Thornwood can only climb up one level at a time, to get out he needs to have two blocks left in the leftmost column and one block in the middle column. So we need to eliminate C, F, and I which is four digs. We need to eliminate two blocks in the middle column and one in the left column with our remaining three digs, so it must be B, D, and H. Given those eliminations, we can’t get to block D to dig it out, until we’ve gotten rid of B and H; otherwise, blocks B and E are in the way. We can’t reach block B once we’ve dug down the right column, so we have to get rid of it before then. So one solution is to dig B-C-F-I, grab the treasure, then dig H, climb on top of fallen E, dig D, climb on fallen A to then get out. I say ‘one solution’ because you can dig B and C in any order up front,” wrote a fourth.
