Use the blackout as a filter. Reported rounds include a cab that stays lit, one that becomes completely dark, and one whose roof sign flashes only while the tunnel is dark.
How to read the puzzle
- Stand where you can see several taxis without turning during the short blackout.
- Wait through at least two cycles when a roof sign flash is easy to miss.
- Reposition between rounds if a pillar blocks the rear or roof of a candidate taxi.
Why this clue works
The Last Taxi hides the correct cab by changing one environmental property across the row. Your job is to isolate that property, keep the comparison consistent, and ignore visual damage or position that does not change with the test.
Choosing from the brightly lit state. That state is designed to hide the meaningful difference.
If your zone shows a different puzzle
Use the live clue. Current public walkthroughs disagree on whether every pattern is permanently fixed to a single zone, so the zone pairing below is an expectation rather than a guarantee.
