To solve this puzzle, you have to find out who will die when E rolls down the crescent rock. This puzzle is actually easier than it looks. First, you need to pay attention to the square marks on the image and the rock. And second, you need to keep in mind that the rock will roll down normally despite its crescent shape. 

'Who Dies if E Pushes the Stone' Answer

At first glance, most people think that D, C and B will die in this puzzle. However, this puzzle is a test of your basic physics and math skills. If you think about the density of the crescent rock, then you will realize that the only person who dies is D, and possibly C if the rock is heavy enough.

Keep in mind that the crescent rock does not have the same mass as the rock on the seesaw. Despite both rocks having the same diameter, the crescent rock has a huge missing section. Therefore, when E rolls down the crescent rock, it will not have enough mass to fling the big rock on the other side of the seesaw. The only other person who could possibly die is C, but that is only if the crescent rock is heavy enough to lower the seesaw's plank.
