We all understand the importance of a good physical workout, but giving our minds a rigorous exercise is just as crucial. So why not engage your brain with this perplexing brainteaser and brush up on your thinking skills.
This particular puzzle will test your ability for rapid thought and problem-solving. The cryptic riddle has sparked a fierce debate among Londoners, with many trying to decipher the meaning behind a sequence of letters.
The riddle, which recently appeared on an information board at a Tube station, has since gone viral on Reddit.
It reads: “Listen up! What letters, logically, is missing from the list? B, C, D, E, G, P, T…? One minute…Go!”
Can anyone figure this out?!

One individual guessed that the letters and names of Underground stations, writing: “Got it! This puzzle is likely based on London Underground station initials. The letters in the sequence represent the first letters of specific station names. In this case:
B: Bakerloo (or Baker Street) C: Camden Town D: Dollis Hill E: Euston G: Green Park P: Paddington T: Tottenham Court Road. The missing letter logically follows this sequence. Without further details, “H” (for Holloway Road, Hampstead, or Hammersmith) could be the next logical choice.”
However, another had a different theory. They suggested the letters listed (B, C, D, E, G, P, T) are the first letters of London Underground lines. They said: “Bakerloo, Central, District, Elizabeth, Great Northern (or the Gospel Oak to Barking Overground line), Piccadilly, Thameslink. The missing letter is R, for the Riverside line!”

Despite these answers, others were adamant that the riddle is nothing to do with the London Underground. You can actually figure it out by looking at the letter themselves.
One pointed out: “V. I think it’s all the letters ending in an ee sound.” Another agreed: “V – they all rhyme.” And a third agreed: “V as it’s rhyming phonetics.”
We agree with this particular solution – V seems to be the correct answer. However, the Redditor later returned to the thread to apologise for all of the confusion.
They said: “As someone that works at this station and knows the person who wrote it, I will let them know this has caused some arguments. We appreciate you all for this debate and look forward to the next one.”
