Brain Out 2 Level 183
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A barnyard scene with several birds: a white hen holding an egg, a small chick, a yellow duck-like bird with a lightning bolt, a black rooster with a big comb, and several brown hens wearing bandanas. A counter starts at 0 with minus/plus buttons and a Submit button. The solved message says "Look clearly, it is to ask the hen!" — meaning you must count only hens, excluding the rooster, the duck, and the chick.
- Difficulty: Medium
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Classify the birds. Look at each bird and decide whether it is actually a hen.
- Exclude the non-hens. The black rooster with the large red comb is a rooster, the yellow duck-like bird is a duck, and the tiny chick is a baby — none of them is a hen.
- Count the hens. Add up only the actual female chickens: the white hen plus the brown hens wearing bandanas.
- Submit. Set the counter to that number and press Submit. The success message "Look clearly, it is to ask the hen!" appears.
Strategy & Reasoning
The trick is that not every bird in the scene is a hen. The black rooster, the yellow duck, and the small chick are distractors. You count only the actual hens (the white hen and the brown bandana-wearing hens). The counter is set to that number and submitted.
The level tests careful categorization. If you count every bird you overshoot; if you count only the obvious white hen you undershoot. The rooster is male, the duck is a different species, and the chick is a juvenile — none of them are hens. The answer is the count of adult female chickens only, which is why the result tells you to "look clearly" and identify the hens specifically.
Why is categorization the whole puzzle? The barnyard deliberately mixes several kinds of fowl so a lazy count grabs every bird it sees. The black rooster has a prominent red comb, marking it as male rather than a hen; the yellow duck is a different species; and the tiny chick is still a baby, not a laying hen. Only the white hen and the brown hens wearing bandanas are adult female chickens. The result line "Look clearly, it is to ask the hen!" is telling you to filter by species and sex, not to tally every bird on screen. If your number is rejected, you almost certainly counted the rooster, duck, or chick by mistake.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: counting the rooster. Do not count the black rooster as a hen.
- Mistake: counting the duck or chick. The yellow duck and the tiny chick are not hens either.
- Correct: Count only the female chickens — the white hen plus the brown hens with bandanas.
- Troubleshooting: If your answer is rejected, recheck whether you accidentally included the rooster or the chick.
