The Pigeon

The Pigeon is a classic puzzle that involves a group of pigeons (or similar entities) arranged in a grid, where each pigeon can see others in its row and column. The challenge is to develop a strategy so that, through limited communication and reasoning, all pigeons can identify their own position or unique status in the grid. It illustrates concepts of coordination, information sharing, and problem-solving within constraints. The puzzle is often used to explore logical deduction, collective intelligence, and the importance of shared strategies in coordinated decision-making.
