As Emek and Luna crossed a wide desert, they followed marker stones shaped like triangle, square, square, circle. Farther ahead, the same pattern repeated: triangle, square, square, circle. Near sunset, they reached three paths, each marked with a different shape. Emek noticed the last stone they had passed was a square, so the next marker in the repeating pattern had to be a circle. They chose the path with the circle marker and soon found the final beacon, finishing their adventure just before sunset.
