Spotting these traps helps us tackle the puzzle clearly and confidently.
Now, let’s solve it.
The pic shows three cars at an intersection, with these deets:
Car 2’s on a priority road, shown by the triangular yield signs facing Cars 1 and 3.
Cars 1 and 3 are at yield signs, so they must let cars on the priority road pass.
Since Car 2’s on the priority road, it goes first.
Takeaway: Car 2 has the right of way.
After Car 2 clears the intersection, it’s down to Cars 1 and 3. Both are at yield signs, so we use the “right-hand rule.” When two cars are in the same boat, the one on the right gets priority.
Car 3’s to the right of Car 1, so it’s next.
Takeaway: After Car 2, Car 3 moves.
Now, just Car 1’s left. With no one else to yield to, Car 1 rolls through.
Final Order: The cars move like this: 2 → 3 → 1.
The solution hangs on two basics:
Traffic Signs Rule
Car 2’s spot on the priority road gives it the edge over Cars 1 and 3, which must yield.
The Right-Hand Rule Breaks Ties
Between Cars 1 and 3, the car on the right (Car 3) goes first.
