Brain Blow Level 58

Overview

A row of brown soil fills the lower half of the screen, with three leafy plants poking up from it, and the prompt asks you to find the carrot. Only the green tops are visible at first; the roots stay hidden under the dirt, and two of the pulled vegetables turn out to be a beet and a turnip rather than the carrot. The carrot itself is buried in the soil beneath the plants, so the dirt has to be moved aside before it can be tapped.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 3

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the prompt asking you to find the carrot, and look at the three plants growing along the soil line. Note their leafy tops, because the roots below them cannot be identified until they are pulled out of the ground.

1. Pull each plant upward out of the soil, dragging its leaves up and away from the dirt so the vegetable attached to it comes free. The left plant comes out as a red beet, the center one as a small red radish, and the right one as a yellow turnip, none of which is the carrot you are looking for.

1. After the pulled vegetables are clear of the ground, take hold of the brown soil layer itself and drag it downward to move it aside. This exposes whatever was buried underneath the plants.

1. Spot the orange carrot lying in the exposed soil near the center, hanging below where the middle plant stood. It has the long tapered orange root and thin ridges that distinguish it from the round beet, radish, and turnip already pulled.

1. Tap the orange carrot to select it. The green checkmark appears over the vegetables and the completion screen confirms that the correct root has been found.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level hides the carrot below ground rather than among the visible tops, so scanning the leaves alone cannot identify it. The first three plants are decoys: their roots are round or bulbous vegetables in red and yellow, which look similar at a glance but are not the long orange carrot. Removing them clears the way to inspect the dirt itself, which is the layer actually covering the target.

Dragging the soil down matters because the carrot sits under that layer, not beside the other vegetables. Once the dirt is shifted, the carrot's tapered orange shape is easy to tell apart from the rounder roots already on screen. Tapping one of the pulled beets or turnips by mistake will not complete the level, so match the long tapered orange root before confirming the selection.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Pull all three plants upward before judging the roots; their leafy tops look alike and the vegetable shape only appears once they are out of the soil.
• Drag the soil layer downward to uncover the carrot; it is buried under the dirt rather than standing beside the other vegetables.
• Tap the long tapered orange carrot, not the red beet, small radish, or yellow turnip, which are the decoy roots in this level.
