Brain Out 2 Level 142
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 142 says "Find a way to wake this man up!" A man is fast asleep (Zzz) in a dark bedroom. A red alarm clock sits on the bed covers, but it is not making any sound. Curtains are drawn, and a pillow lies on a round rug on the floor. The victory line, "what! What sound is ringing!", appears once he jolts awake.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- See why the alarm fails. The alarm clock is on the bed, but it is silent — it has no power.
- Look under the floor pillow. The pillow on the rug hides a battery. Flip the pillow over to reveal it.
- Install the battery. Put the battery into the alarm clock.
- The alarm rings loudly. With power restored, the clock buzzes and shakes violently (thunder-bolt lines) on the bed.
- Confirm. The man bolts upright, startled. The screen says "what! What sound is ringing!" and the level is cleared.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a "the obvious tool is broken" puzzle. You would think tapping the alarm clock would ring it, but the clock is dead — there is no battery inside, so it cannot sound.
The battery is hidden. The pillow on the floor rug looks like random bedding, but flipping it over exposes the battery. Once the battery is in the clock, the alarm goes off at full volume and the heavy sleeper finally wakes.
Opening the curtains does not help — it is a rainy, dark morning outside, so daylight is not the answer. The phone on the rug with a low-battery icon is a decoy. The lesson is to realize the clock is silent because it lacks a battery, then hunt for the hidden battery.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: tapping the alarm clock. It does nothing without power.
- Mistake: opening the curtains. It is still dark and rainy outside.
- Mistake: shaking the man. He sleeps through it. Flip the floor pillow to find the battery, put it in the alarm clock, and the loud ringing wakes him.

Walkthrough Notes
The alarm clock is silent because its battery is missing. Flip the floor pillow to find the hidden battery, install it, and the alarm rings loudly and wakes him. The victory line confirms it. Compare this with tapping the clock: it has no power.
Why It Works
The alarm clock sits on the bed but is silent, which means it lacks power. The pillow on the floor looks like furniture, but flipping it reveals a hidden battery. Install the battery in the clock, and it rings loud enough to jolt the heavy sleeper awake. The wall switch controls room light, not the clock. The keyboard/pillow concealment is the puzzle. Find the battery before expecting sound.
Handy Reminder
The pillow flip is the hidden step; many players skip straight to the clock. Once the battery is in, the alarm starts ringing on its own.
