Brain Find Level 23

Overview

This level, titled "Can you do magic?", shows a single metal spoon lying perfectly flat and straight across the middle of a blank screen. The bottom preview shows the same spoon but bent — the handle kinks upward in the middle. The success message, "Oh my god, are you a Hercules?", makes the pun obvious: you must bend the spoon with your own strength, like the famous spoon-bending magic trick. There are no other objects, no buttons, and no text clue beyond the title. The core mechanic is applying a forceful gesture to bend the straight spoon into the bent shape shown in the preview. The overall approach is to press and rub the spoon's neck (where the bowl meets the handle) until it bends, matching the target.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the spoon. It is lying straight and flat. Compare it to the bottom preview, which shows the spoon bent upward at the middle — you need to bend it.

1. Do not just tap the spoon once. Tapping does nothing; this is a physical bending action, not a selection.

1. Press your finger on the neck of the spoon (the narrow spot where the bowl joins the handle) and rub/press firmly, as if you are doing the classic spoon-bending magic trick. Keep the pressure on that joint.

1. Continue pressing and rubbing the neck. The spoon gradually gives and bends upward at that point, until its shape matches the bent spoon in the preview.

1. Once the spoon is fully bent, the level completes. A "Good" banner appears with the message "Oh my god, are you a Hercules?", and the bent spoon is shown enlarged in the center circle.

Strategy & Reasoning

This level is a direct reference to the famous "spoon bending" mentalism trick, where a performer rubs a spoon's neck and makes it appear to bend under its own power. The title "Can you do magic?" and the preview of a bent spoon tell you exactly what is expected: turn the straight spoon into a bent one.

The designer gives you nothing else — no hidden objects, no numbers, no other props — so the only possible action is interacting with the spoon itself. Since tapping does not bend metal, the intended gesture is a firm, sustained press and rub on the weak point of the spoon: the narrow neck where bowl meets handle. That is where a real spoon would bend, and that is where the magic trick focuses.

The success message calling you a "Hercules" reinforces that this is about applying physical force to bend it. Once the spoon kinks to match the preview, the game accepts it. There is no trick beyond the gesture itself: press the neck firmly until the spoon bends.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Common mistake: tapping the spoon repeatedly. A single tap does not bend it; you must press and rub the neck.
• Common mistake: pressing the bowl or the far end of the handle. Bend it at the neck (the narrow joint), which is where the preview shows the kink.
• Common mistake: expecting a magic wand or extra object. There is none — you bend the spoon with your own finger, exactly like the classic spoon-bending trick.
