Brain Find Level 36
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 36, subtitled "Where is the pink pig?", plays on a disguise / color-mixing joke. Standing in the middle of the screen is a chubby, pale off-white pig with a neutral face and a curly tail. Along the bottom sit three paint buckets — blue on the left, yellow in the middle, and red on the right. The circular goal icon shows a soft pink pig. The core mechanic is subtractive color logic: the pig in front of you is the one you are looking for, but it is currently pale, and you must turn it pink using the right paint. The overall approach is to recognize that red paint on a white pig produces pink, and apply only the red bucket.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the pig and the goal together. The title asks "Where is the pink pig?", yet the pig standing center screen is a pale, almost white color. The goal icon at the bottom shows a round, rosy pink pig. This tells you the pig you need is right in front of you — it simply has not been colored pink yet.
- Examine the three paint buckets. From left to right they contain blue, yellow, and red paint, each dripping slightly over its rim. Do not grab the blue or the yellow: blue on a pig makes a blue pig, and yellow makes a yellow pig, neither of which matches the pink goal.
- Work out the color math. The pig's body is white, and pink is made by adding red to white. The only bucket that can turn a white pig pink is the red one. This is why the success message teases "do you dye the pig with paint?" — you are literally dyeing it.
- Drag the red paint bucket over to the pig and pour / apply the red paint all over its body. As the red mixes with the pig's white coat, its whole body turns a soft pink.
- The pig becomes the rosy pink pig shown in the goal, now blushing and covering its snout. A yellow success screen appears with a large "Good" ribbon and the message "Little villain, do you dye the pig with paint?", showing the pink pig in the circular frame. The level is complete.
Strategy & Reasoning
The level opens with a search question — "where is the pink pig?" — which sends your eyes scanning the screen for a second, already-pink pig. There is none. This is the first trap: the game wants you to assume the pink pig is hidden somewhere, when in fact the single pig on screen is the target and is just the wrong color.
Once you realize the pig must be recolored, the three buckets become a color-mixing puzzle rather than three equal choices. Blue and yellow are the obvious wrong answers because they produce entirely different hues. Red is the only choice that, combined with the pig's white body, yields pink. The joke message on the success screen confirms this reading: it openly asks whether you dyed the pig with paint, acknowledging that the "hidden" pig was produced by coloring the one you already had. This mirrors the series' recurring theme of using the interface's own elements (here, the paint buckets) to alter an object in plain sight.
Alternative approaches fail for concrete reasons. Dragging the blue bucket onto the pig turns it blue, which does not match the pink goal. Dragging the yellow bucket makes a yellow pig, also wrong. Tapping the pig without paint does nothing, because it cannot change color on its own. Searching behind the pig or off-screen for a second pig finds nothing, since no other pig exists. The one correct move is therefore the red bucket on the white pig.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Common mistake: hunting the screen for a second, already-pink pig. The pig on screen is the target; it just needs to be recolored.
- Common mistake: using the blue or yellow bucket. Only red paint, mixed with the pig's white body, makes pink; blue and yellow produce the wrong colors.
- Common mistake: forgetting the pig is white. Pink is red over white — that is exactly why the red bucket, not a pre-mixed pink paint, is the correct tool.
