- Person #1: Sitting calmly on a branch but unaware that Person #2 is cutting it off.
- Person #2: Cutting the branch Person #1 is sitting on but still on a stable part of the tree.
- Person #3: Cutting the branch he himself is sitting on—about to fall!
- Person #4: Doing the exact same thing as Person #3, but with even more confidence.
Preparation: Analyzing Each Person’s Actions
✔ Person #1: He is in danger, but not because of his own actions. Someone else is causing his problem. He is not necessarily the « stupidest, » just unaware of what’s happening.
✔ Person #2: He is cutting the branch on which someone else is sitting. This is selfish and not smart, but he won’t be affected directly.
✔ Person #3: He is sawing off the very branch he is sitting on. As soon as he finishes, he will fall immediately.
✔ Person #4: Just like Person #3, but he seems to be doing it with a smile, as if completely unaware of the consequences.
Serving & Storage Tips: Who is the Stupidest?
After analyzing the image, the stupidest person is most likely Person #4 because:
- He is actively cutting the branch he is sitting on with no realization of what will happen.
- He looks the most confident in his mistake, making his action even more ridiculous.
- He is ignoring the basic principle of cause and effect—cutting his support means he will fall.
However, some might argue that Person #3 is equally foolish since he is making the same mistake.
