Brain Out 2 Level 127
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 127 warns "Be careful not to buy ice cream assassin." A worried girl stands at an ice cream shop freezer stocked with several popsicles, while a cashier waits behind the counter. The victory line, "You won't be stung by the price when pay!", plays on the idea of getting stung by an expensive bill.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the freezer. Several different ice creams are displayed, and the girl is hesitant about which to choose.
- Remember the warning. "Don't get stung" means avoid an expensive, surprising price.
- Choose the reasonably priced popsicle. Pick the affordable ice cream rather than the priciest one.
- Pay at the counter. Bring it to the cashier and pay; the price comes up to only $1.
- Confirm. The girl smiles, flowers around her, and the screen says "You won't be stung by the price when pay!" The level is cleared.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a wordplay puzzle on "getting stung by a price." In shopping, being "stung" means being shocked or overcharged. The warning about an "assassin" ice cream is a joke about the one that will sting her wallet.
The solution is to select the ice cream that does not break the bank, then pay normally. The result shows a cheap $1 price, so she leaves happy rather than sticker-shocked. The cashier and the display are normal; the trick is picking the affordable option.
The lesson is to shop wisely so the bill does not "sting" you.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: grabbing the fanciest popsicle. That would be the expensive one that "stings."
- Mistake: ignoring the price. Check the cost before paying.
- Mistake: overthinking a hidden bee. The "sting" is a metaphor for price shock; choose the cheap ice cream and pay $1.

Walkthrough Notes
Several popsicles look similar, but the warning says one is an "assassin" (a trick item). The giveaway is which one looks off — the one with a suspicious extra detail. Pick the odd popsicle. The victory line "You won't be stung by the price when pay!" puns on being stung. Compare this with picking the cheapest or prettiest: the imposter is identified by a small visual mismatch, not by price.
Why It Works
The ice cream freezer holds several similar popsicles, and the warning about an 'assassin' warns that one is a trap. The price pun at the end — being stung by the bill — hints that the suspicious one is not about danger but about an obvious mismatch. Inspect each popsicle for a small detail that stands out: an odd wrapper, a wrong color, or an extra mark. Choose the one that differs. The cashier is a bystander. The imposter is identified by visual oddity, not by price.
Handy Reminder
When several popsicles look alike, look for the one whose wrapper or color subtly clashes with the rest. The cashier's neutral expression is a hint that no verbal hint is coming. Trust the visual oddity rather than price.
