Brain Out 2 Level 105
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 105 asks you to "Find the hidden person!" A forest clearing surrounds a small pond, with trees, bushes, a hanging beehive, a tree hollow, and a fox tail poking out of the undergrowth. Looking at the pond, the only odd detail is a red-and-white striped snorkel tube sticking up out of the water. The victory line, "He surfaced!", reveals that someone is hiding underwater and breathing through that snorkel.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Scan the scene. Look over the trees, bushes, beehive, and tree hollow — no person is obvious on land.
- Notice the snorkel. Floating in the pond is a red-and-white striped snorkel tube. A snorkel in an empty pond means someone is submerged below it.
- Do not search the bushes. The fox tail and the tree hollow are decoys; the person is not hiding on land.
- Pull the hidden person up. Tap the snorkel / drag the surface of the pond to make the submerged person rise.
- His head surfaces. A boy's head pops up out of the water, gasping. The screen says "He surfaced!" and the level is cleared.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is an odd-detail spotting puzzle. The scene is packed with hiding spots — bushes, a hollow tree, the undergrowth — which invite you to rummage around on land. But the one unnatural object is the snorkel floating in the pond, because there is no visible swimmer attached to it.
A snorkel only works if a face is underwater breathing through it. That single logical inference tells you the hidden person is submerged directly beneath the tube. Once you act on it, the boy surfaces exactly where the snorkel was.
The fox tail, beehive, and tree hollow are red herrings that make you waste time searching land. Recognizing that a lone snorkel floating in water implies a person underneath is the whole trick.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: rummaging in the bushes. The fox tail and tree hollow look like hiding spots but are decoys.
- Mistake: ignoring the snorkel. The red-and-white tube in the pond is the clue. A snorkel means someone is breathing underwater below it.
- Mistake: draining the pond. You do not need to empty the water. Just pull the person up where the snorkel is and he surfaces.
Walkthrough Notes
The forest looks empty, but the pond is the suspicious spot. The red-and-white snorkel tube sticking out of the water is the tell: someone is breathing underwater through it. Tapping the trees, bushes, beehive, or fox tail gives nothing. Pull the snorkel (or tap the water) to reveal the hidden person surfacing. The victory line "He surfaced!" confirms it. Compare this with searching the tree hollow or the fox: those are red herrings. The underwater breathing tube is the only detail that should not exist above a normal pond, and that anomaly is the clue.
