Now that you have analyzed the image, it is time to move on to the options available to you. The cars are identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Which of these cars do you think should make the first move? Is it car A, proudly placed at the front of the line? Or maybe car C, which seems to have a little more space in front of it? Unless the solution lies elsewhere… Think carefully and try to find the answer before we reveal it. Trust your logic and your sense of observation!
The long-awaited moment has arrived: the revelation of the solution! Drumroll, please… The car that must move first to clear the traffic jam is… car G! Surprised ? Let us explain. In reality, it is not a question of moving forward, but of going backwards. It is by reversing that the orange car (G) will clear the way and allow other vehicles to move. A little perspective, literally and figuratively, is sometimes necessary to resolve problems!

Now that we have the key to the mystery, let's see how the situation will resolve. It all starts with the reversing of car G. This movement frees up precious space which will allow other vehicles to extricate themselves from this giant puzzle. First, cars E and F, which were stuck behind car G, can finally move forward and leave the scene. Then, it is the turn of cars A and B to progress, taking advantage of the space left by E and F. Bus C and red car D can then engage in turn, finally leaving the way clear for the car G which initiated this mechanical ballet.
This puzzle highlights an essential quality in traffic jam situations: patience. Car G, the last to be able to move forward, had to demonstrate great mastery to resist the temptation to move forward and understand that only a step back would allow everyone to progress. It’s a great life lesson that reminds us that in certain situations, we need to know how to take a step back in order to move forward. In our daily lives too, when faced with traffic jams or difficulties, patience and cooperation are often the best allies in finding a favorable outcome.
