Brain Blow Level 45
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Four shapes line the top of the board: a red circle, an orange star, a blue triangle, and a green square. Below, four buttons are mislabeled by color: a blue button reads Red, a red button reads Green, a green button reads Yellow, and a yellow button reads Blue. The prompt asks what colour the triangle is. The triangle itself is blue, but the button carrying the word Blue is painted yellow, so that yellow button must be tapped.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Identify the triangle among the shapes and note its actual color: the triangle is blue. Confirm that the question asks for the color name associated with the triangle, not for the color of any button.
- Read the buttons below and match each printed label to its painted background, since the labels and colors do not line up normally.
- Find the button labeled Blue and check its background; the Blue label appears on the yellow button rather than on a blue one.
- Tap this yellow button that says Blue to answer the triangle's color. The level completes when the mismatched label button is selected, and the blue-colored button showing Red is a decoy.
- Read each button's label first and match it to the triangle's blue color, then check the background only to confirm where that label sits. The row swaps every color and word, so a button that looks blue may actually say Red, and the button you want is the yellow one carrying the Blue text. If you tapped a blue button and it failed, read its label again before trying another, since the background color here is deliberately misleading.
- The triangle's blue color is what you are naming, so the answer route ends at the Blue label even though its button background is yellow. Matching the label to the target color rather than the paint keeps you away from the blue button that is mislabeled Red.
Strategy & Reasoning
Color-mismatch levels separate the word on a button from its paint, so you follow the label that names the target color rather than the matching-looking background. The triangle is blue, which means you need the Blue label, and locating that label sends you to the yellow button below. Reaching for a blue button by color would choose the wrong Red label.
The other buttons are shuffled the same way: blue says Red, red says Green, green says Yellow, and yellow says Blue. This consistent mismatch means visual color alone misleads, while reading the printed words gives the correct route. Tapping the yellow Blue button answers that the triangle is blue, and the shape above stays untouched.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Follow the written label Blue, not the painted button color; the Blue word sits on a yellow background.
- Do not tap the blue button just because it matches the triangle's color; that button is mislabeled Red and is the decoy.
- Read every button label before choosing, since the whole row swaps color and word and can look correct at a glance.
