Brain Blow Level 24
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Three lanes run toward a checkered finish line: a chicken in the top lane, a dog in the middle lane, and a piglet in the bottom lane, with a Start button below. The prompt asks you to help the piglet win the race. The chicken and dog would outrun the piglet in a normal start, so the trick is to hold those two runners out of the race while the Start button is pressed. Keeping them pinned down frees the piglet to reach the finish first.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 3
Step-by-Step Solution
- Note the three runners and their lanes: chicken at the top, dog in the middle, piglet at the bottom, with the Start button that begins the race once pressed.
- Press and hold the chicken in its lane with one finger so it cannot move forward when the race starts. Hold it in place rather than tapping it once.
- Press and hold the dog in its lane with a second finger, keeping both competitors pinned still on the left side of the board.
- With both other runners held down, tap the Start button using a third finger or a free tap. The chicken and dog stay held in place while the piglet runs its lane to the finish line.
- Watch the piglet reach the checkered finish first; the level completes once it crosses, and the held chicken and dog remain behind at their starting positions.
- Hold the chicken and dog firmly in their lanes through the whole piglet run, not just while Start is pressed; a late release lets them step forward and compete. Keep your free tap for the Start button only, and watch the bottom lane so the piglet is the only runner moving toward the finish. Once the piglet crosses the checkered line, the level completes, and you can release the two held rivals after the win registers.
Strategy & Reasoning
Riddle races break the normal rules of fair competition: instead of improving the piglet, you disable the rivals. Holding the two other runners with fingers keeps them from leaving the start line, and pressing Start afterward lets only the piglet run. The multi-finger hold is the core trick, since a single tap on Start would release all three.
The piglet is the slowest-looking contender, which is why the level asks for help rather than a simple start. The chicken and dog are the obstacles to neutralize, not characters to race against. Once they are pinned, the piglet's plain walk down its lane is enough to finish alone, and the win registers the moment it reaches the checkered line.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Hold the chicken and dog continuously; releasing them before the piglet finishes lets them chase after and compete.
- Press Start after both rivals are already held down, so the race begins with only the piglet free to move.
- Do not try to speed the piglet up directly; the solution works by removing the other runners from the race, not by boosting the pig.
