Sword In The Stone Puzzle

Early civilizations shaped our world by solving puzzles. Faced with a problem, they were able to execute a creative solution. These brilliant innovations are the foundation of modern society and the mark of True Genius.

In feudal Rome, a brutal and cruel knight was visited by an angel, who told him he needed to change his ways. Comparing that plea to the difficulty of splitting stone with a sword, the knight attempted to demonstrate his metaphor. Instead of breaking, the sword was plunged into the stone where it remained for more than 900 years.
