  1. Person 1: First person, who is sitting on the far end of a branch that Person 3 is currently cutting the tree. They will fall as soon as the cut is complete.

  2. Person 2: Seconds person, who is sitting on the same branch as Person 1, between Person 1 and the tree trunk. Although they are trying to cut the branch of the part of the tree where Person 1 is sitting, they are also in the section being cut by Person 3 and will fall with Person 1.

  3. Person 4: The fourth person is sawing the branch they are directly sitting on, between themselves and the trunk. Once they finish sawing, their part of the branch will fall.

  4. Person 3: The third person is the only one sitting on the main tree trunk (or the most stable part of the fork) while cutting a branch away from themselves. Their actions only cause others to fall, while they remain securely positioned on the tree.
