Brain Blow Level 61
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Three open specimen boxes sit above six rocks and fossils spread across the bottom of the screen. Each box carries a category icon: a paw print, a leaf, and a faceted gem. The prompt asks you to sort the specimen, meaning every rock has to be dragged into the box whose icon matches what it contains. The six pieces fall into three natural pairs: animal remains, plant fossils, and mineral crystals. The trick is reading the inner imprint or growth on each rock rather than sorting by the rock's outer color.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt asking you to sort the specimen, and look at the three box icons. The top box with the paw print holds animal items, the left box with the leaf holds plant items, and the right box with the faceted gem holds mineral crystals.
- Separate the six specimens by what they show. Start with the animal pieces: the brown fossil slab that carries an animal imprint, and the gray rock holding a white bone. These are remains tied to an animal.
- Drag the brown fossil slab into the paw-print box, then drag the white-bone rock into the same box so the two animal specimens sit together under the paw icon.
- Move to the plant pieces: the dark rock marked with a green fern leaf imprint, and the brown rock holding a small yellow-green sprout. Both show plant growth or plant fossils.
- Drag the fern-imprint rock and the sprout rock into the leaf box, one after the other, so the plant specimens fill the leaf category.
- Finish with the mineral pieces: the dark rock holding a purple crystal, and the multicolor crystal cluster with orange, pink, and blue tips. Drag both into the gem box beside the faceted diamond icon.
- Once each of the six specimens rests in its matching box, the level highlights the sorted groups and the completion screen appears.
Strategy & Reasoning
The category is set by what the specimen contains, not by the dark rock that surrounds it. Both the fern rock and the bone rock are gray or brown stones, but one belongs to the leaf box and the other to the paw box, so the imprint on the surface is the deciding detail. The crystal pieces are easier to group because their bright colored facets stand apart from the plant and animal fossils.
Matching pairs keeps the sorting fast: each category receives exactly two specimens, and every box fills once its pair is placed. Checking the icon before you release a rock prevents a fossil from being dropped into the mineral box just because it sits on a dark stone. When all three boxes hold their two matching pieces, the green outlines appear around the sorted groups, confirming that every specimen landed in the correct category.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Sort by the imprint or crystal inside each rock, not by the rock's outer brown or gray color, which looks similar across categories.
- Put the bone and animal fossil in the paw box, the fern and sprout rocks in the leaf box, and the two crystal clusters in the gem box.
- Drag one specimen at a time and confirm the box icon matches before releasing, since mixing a fossil into the crystal group will not count as sorted.
