Setting up something unfortunate…
A scene is set. There is a boulder, or an axe, or a trapdoor, and there are four stick figures standing in places they should not be standing. Your job is to predict which one of them is about to have the worst outcome. Then the scene plays out over three seconds and you find out whether physics agreed with you. It often does not, because several of these puzzles are built specifically to punish the obvious answer through a chain reaction nobody would call fair.
Look at the scene, pick the stick figure you think goes first, and watch the animation resolve. There is no time limit, so study the ramps, levers and dominoes before you commit. You answer ten puzzles drawn from a larger pool, so a second run will not be identical. At the end you get a prediction score out of ten and an assessment of how long you would personally survive in a cartoon.
