Brain Out 2 Level 152

Overview

Level 152 asks "How many eyebrows does a boy have?" A boy stands with two normal eyebrows, looking puzzled. A pair of scissors lies on the floor, and a number keypad (0-9) waits for an answer. The victory line, "zero!", appears once the trick is done.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Count his eyebrows. He currently has two visible eyebrows.

1. Pick up the scissors. The scissors on the floor are the tool.

1. Shave off both eyebrows. Use the scissors to cut away his eyebrows.

1. Now he has none. His eyebrows are gone.

1. Enter 0 and confirm. Type "0" on the keypad and tap check. The screen says "zero!" and the level is cleared.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a trick question disguised as a counting task. The obvious answer is 2, but the scissors on the floor hint that you can change the number.

By cutting off his eyebrows with the scissors, you make the count zero. The boy even winks and gives a thumbs-up, unfazed by being brow-less. The keypad lets you then enter 0.

The lesson is not to answer the obvious question but to manipulate the scene: the scissors exist for a reason, and using them makes the answer 0.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: answering 2. That is the normal count, but it is wrong.
• Mistake: ignoring the scissors. They are the whole point.
• Mistake: cutting only one. Remove both eyebrows, then enter 0.

Walkthrough Notes

The boy has two eyebrows, but the scissors on the floor hint you can change that. Shave off both eyebrows, then enter 0. The victory line "zero!" confirms it. Compare this with answering 2: the scissors are the whole point.

Why It Works

The boy visibly has two eyebrows, but the scissors on the floor signal that the count can change. Shave off both eyebrows, then enter 0 on the keypad. Answering 2 is the obvious trap. The boy even winks and thumbs-up after being shaved, unfazed. The scissors are the whole point.

Handy Reminder

Both eyebrows must be shaved off before entering 0. Removing only one gives the wrong count.

Quick Recap

After shaving, the keypad requires the digit 0. Entering any other number, including 2, fails.

Final Note

The boy gives a thumbs-up after the shave, which is the confirmation the trick worked.

Closing Line

The scissors are then lowered and the level immediately clears.

Aftermath

The keypad confirms the entry with a cheerful ding and the level banner reads zero in celebration.

End Note

The boy winks and gives a thumbs-up, completely unfazed by being eyebrow-less.

Enter zero on the keypad to finish.

Both eyebrows must be gone before zero is accepted.

Use the scissors, shave both brows, then type zero.

The victory banner confirms zero, and the boy winks and thumbs up.
