Can You Solve This Really Tricky Puzzle Made For People Who Are Drunk?

Puzzle solving isn’t just a fun way to pass time and test how much you know, it’s also a great way to keep your brain and mind sharp. The internet is full of various riddles, teasers, and problems that are meant to stump people and get them thinking really hard. One puzzle has emerged recently that is proving very difficult to solve and unless you’re some sort of puzzle master genius, this one takes a bit of time and a lot of guesswork.

The puzzle appeared online after a Redditor posted an image of the coaster it was printed on. They came across the coaster while dropping in for a drink at a pub, and captioned the image with a question “Is it possible or are they just screwing with the drunks?” The internet took the bait and many people have responded that they figured out a way to solve the puzzle, so yes, it is possible indeed. However, there is no word on what effect being intoxicated has on one’s ability to solve this, and it could potentially help you. Keep reading if you’re wondering and asking how so?

A drink or two could help a person solve this puzzle by making them look at it differently than they would have if they were sober. Adults often make things much more complicated than they have to be. They have been taught to approach puzzles and problems with a critical eye and automatically look for patterns and sequences to jump out at them. When they don’t, they usually give up or assume that the problem is unsolvable for the average person. If a person were to have a few drinks in them, they would be less hyper critical and rigid in their thinking. Instead, they’d be more open to different possibilities and trying out new solutions or testing possible answers they would have otherwise dismissed right off the bat.

At least, that’s what I believe to be true in terms of these types of situations and puzzles…Plus, it’s a good excuse to have a nice, delicious drink, while exercising the brain. So crack open a beer or pour yourself a drink and try it now to see if you can come up with the right answer, I couldn’t!
