The puzzle sat, undisturbed, for a few hundred years, before someone attempted to solve it.
The invading tribe's scout tried to find a way around it, then ended up having to guess the answer, unable to read the other tribe's text. He chose poorly, and was crushed by a falling stone.
A few hundred years after that, the invading coloniser couldn't read heathen scratchings, and guessed the answer, choosing poorly, and falling into the spike trap.
A few hundred years after that, the archologist discovered it, got the right answer, and was disappointed at the ancient candy bowl reward given.
