Answer

This is a puzzle given by National Geographic magazine. Quizzes of this type are quite common in overseas schools, aimed at forging logical thinking for children. And if you spend more than 10 seconds to answer, or think of the answer, you unfortunately lose to the children because 80% of the children under 10 years of age answer within 3 seconds.

But don't be disappointed. The key to solving this puzzle is to use the ability to observe and analyze objects in pictures. And on this point, children under 12 years outperform adults.

According to a study from University College London, children under 12 receive visual information in a very different way than adults. Specifically, children often use the first observational data to evaluate, instead of selecting and evaluating sideline information such as adults.

Therefore, they can respond very quickly, though sometimes incorrectly due to lack of information.

The answer to this question is: on the left (if you are in Vietnam). Notice that the car doesn't have a door up and down, which means we're looking from the left side of the car. In Vietnam, the vehicles move to the right of the road, so the answer is to go to the left.
