Brain Blow Level 37

Overview

A fishing bobber floats on a stretch of water, and the prompt asks you to catch a fish. No fish is visible on the surface at first, so the catch depends on the line and hook rather than spotting an animal above the water. The hook sits below the bobber, and dragging the whole rig upward out of the sea brings the hidden fish up with it. Once the fish breaks the surface on the hook, the level completes.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the bobber and line on the water and follow the line down to the hook beneath the surface. The fish is hidden under the water and cannot be seen from above.

1. Press and hold the bobber or the line and begin dragging the rig upward, lifting it out of the water rather than tapping the surface.

1. Keep pulling upward until the hook rises above the surface and a fish hooked on it becomes visible. The fish comes up with the line instead of swimming to the bobber on its own.

1. Release the rig once the fish is out of the water so the catch registers. The level completes when the hooked fish is shown above the sea, and no further tap on the fish is needed.

1. As you reel the line upward, keep the bobber moving in a straight lift rather than sweeping it sideways, so the hook rises without catching on the water surface. Watch below the bobber for the moment the fish comes into view on the hook, and hold the rig until it is fully out of the water. If no fish appears after lifting once, the hook may still be submerged near the edge; pull the line higher rather than tapping the water for a surface fish.

Strategy & Reasoning

Fishing levels hide the catch underwater and rely on the hook to bring it up. Waiting for the fish to jump or tapping the water surface will not reveal it, because the animal only appears once the line is hauled in. The upward drag mirrors reeling in a catch after a bite.

The bobber marks where the line enters the water, which gives you a grip point to pull the rig. The hidden fish is attached to the hook below, so raising the whole line lifts it automatically. This distinguishes the level from a tap-the-fish puzzle, since the target moves only when the line is pulled.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not tap the water looking for a visible fish; the catch is hidden below the surface until the line is reeled in.
• Drag the bobber or line upward out of the water, rather than sideways, so the hook rises with the fish on it.
• Keep pulling until the fish breaks the surface; stopping while the hook is still submerged leaves the catch hidden.
