I thought of that (I was there yesterday), but I thoguht that would be cheating. I like to test these puzzles to see if they are totally watertight. I remember Derren Brown did a "live seance" on TV a few years ago where the viewers could participate in such questions and of course we all arrived at the same conclusions. Sometimes it really is because we all think the same way and other times because no matter how you attempt the puzzle, even if it has multiple steps, its "rigged" such that you always arrive at the same answer.

It's not intended to be watertight, just to show that most people will come to the same conclusion
...except, of course, CBFS

I thought this was the original name for kiwifruit, before the marketing people re-branded it, but now I'm not so sure
