Place the portable light in a comparable position beside each cab. The odd shadow, not the most damaged taxi model, identifies the anomalous choice.
How to read the puzzle
- Keep roughly the same distance and angle when testing every taxi.
- Look at the ground and wall behind the cab rather than the light source itself.
- If the difference is unclear, move the light past the row in one slow sweep and compare silhouettes.
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.
Changing the light angle for every cab, which makes ordinary shadows look different.
