Brain Blow Level 63
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Two blue drinking glasses stand on a wooden table, and the prompt asks which glass is "glass". The word carries two meanings here: a glass as a drinking cup, and glass as the broken material that remains after a cup shatters. At first both objects look like ordinary cups, so the level expects you to drop one so it breaks, revealing the glass material underneath. The correct choice is the pile of shattered pieces rather than the intact cup.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt asking which glass is "glass", and look at the two glasses on the table. Both are upright blue cups at the start, so neither has yet shown the material sense of the word.
- Take hold of one glass and drag it toward the edge of the table, pushing it off the side so it falls to the floor below.
- Watch the falling glass strike the ground and break into a pile of sharp blue shards. These pieces are the material called glass, separate from the drinking vessel they used to form.
- If the second glass is still on the table, drag it off the edge as well so it comes to rest on the floor beside the shards. This leaves one intact cup and one broken pile side by side for comparison.
- Tap the pile of shattered glass pieces on the floor. The level recognizes the broken material as the answer marked by the quotes in the prompt, the green checkmark appears, and the completion screen shows.
Strategy & Reasoning
The quotes around the second "glass" signal that the level is playing on word meaning rather than asking which cup looks more transparent. A drinking glass is an object, while glass is the material it is made of; once the cup breaks, that material is visible as loose shards. The intact cup still belongs to the object sense of the word, which is why tapping it does not answer the prompt.
Dropping the glass off the table is the hidden action, because there is no button or separate item that turns a cup into shards. The fall does the breaking, and the comparison between the whole cup and the broken pile makes the pun clear. After the shards are tapped, the checkmark appears over the scene, confirming that the material meaning was the one the question asked for.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not tap an intact upright cup expecting it to be the answer; the quoted "glass" refers to the broken material, not the drinking vessel.
- Push a glass off the table edge so it falls and shatters; the shards on the floor are the pieces you then select.
- Compare the whole cup with the broken pile before tapping, and choose the shattered pieces rather than the glass that still holds its cup shape.
