Brain Blow Level 70

Overview

An elderly grandma with a cane, green jacket, and red skirt stands beside a narrow gray road that runs vertically down the screen. The prompt asks you to help grandma across the street. The road is a movable strip rather than a fixed part of the background, so the trick is to slide the street behind grandma instead of walking her across it. Once the road has been shifted to the other side, she is already standing on the far pavement.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the prompt asking you to help grandma across the street, and look at the layout: grandma is on the right edge of the road strip, and the road itself stretches vertically beside her.

1. Do not drag grandma across the road, and do not walk her along the strip. The level expects the street itself to be repositioned rather than the woman being moved.

1. Take hold of the gray road strip, including its dashed white center line, and drag it sideways toward the right, sliding it behind grandma.

1. Keep moving the road until it passes behind her and ends up on the other side. Grandma stays in place while the street shifts across the screen.

1. Once the road sits behind and to grandma's right, she is standing on the far side of it with no road between her and her destination. The checkmark appears and the completion screen confirms she has crossed.

1. When judging the result, look at what lies between grandma and her original side rather than at how far she has stepped, because the displacement in this solution belongs to the road. Keep the strip moving until the dashed line and curb edges have cleared her feet; a road still partly beside her means she has not reached the far side yet. Once the gray surface is fully on the other side and she stands on open pavement, the checkmark appears over her, confirming the crossing is finished.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle reverses the usual crossing action: instead of moving the person to the other side of a fixed road, you move the road away from the person. The road strip is drawn as a separate movable object, which means it can be repositioned behind her just like any other draggable item. This shortcut avoids the frail-woman crossing that the prompt describes on the surface.

Trying to pull grandma across the strip runs against the intended interaction, because the level does not move her along the road. Sliding the street behind her changes the relative positions so that the road ends up between grandma and where she started, leaving her already on the opposite side. The checkmark appears once the road is on the far side of her, which is the state the level accepts as a completed crossing.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Move the road strip, not grandma; dragging the woman across the street does not trigger the completion state.
• Slide the road behind her so it ends up on the other side, rather than trying to push her along the pavement.
• Check that no road remains between grandma and her destination before judging the level complete; she should stand on the far side after the street shifts.
