The Lost Travelers

Two travelers were separated in an unfamiliar city. They had no way to communicate but had agreed to find each other.

Neither searched randomly. Both walked to the city’s central square — the most prominent landmark, the place everyone knew, the obvious meeting point.

They didn’t coordinate this choice. They each chose it because it was the one place they expected the other to choose. The square’s prominence was not just geographic. It was cognitive — the point that stood out in both their minds.
