Max put slices of tomato, black olives, chilies, mushrooms, and onion rings on top of a pizza, but not necessarily in that order.  He only put one ingredient at a time. His finished pizza is shown in the picture. Which was the third topping he put on the pizza? Feel free to pause and try and solve it.  Okay, so we can just look at this and try to figure out what the order was. And we can do that by just looking at which ones are on top of each other, right?  Or which toppings are on top of other toppings. So, for example, here we can see that we have these black olives on top of onion rings, right?  So we can say that black olives go on top of onion rings, right?  And we can, for example, see that onion rings go on top of tomatoes, right? So tomatoes are underneath onion rings, right?  We have this tomato here and this onion ring on top of it, right? Now we can also see that this black olive has a mushroom on top of it. So there's mushrooms on top of black olives.  And then lastly, we can see these chili peppers right here are on top of this mushroom, which itself is on top of a black olive.  So lastly, the chili peppers go on top of the mushroom. So we can see that the order right here is chili peppers are on top,  then mushrooms, then black olives, then onions, and then the tomatoes on the bottom. But remember that we're looking for the third topping he put on the pizza.  So that's going to be the black olives, which if we look at the answer is option B. So the answer number five is B.

Video Summary

The third topping Max put on the pizza was black olives. By examining the order of the toppings based on which ones overlay others, it's clear that tomatoes are at the bottom, followed by onion rings, then black olives, and mushrooms, with chili peppers on top. Thus, black olives were added third.
