Brain Out 2 Level 38

Overview

Level 38 says "Put the banana pie in the oven!" An oven sits open on the counter, and on the table there is a fruit pie on a plate, a peeled banana, and a cup of coffee. But the pie on the plate is an apple pie, not a banana pie, and there is no actual banana pie anywhere. The game hints "The title is also part of the question!" — the words "banana pie" in the instruction itself are what you must put in the oven.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the task. You must put "the banana pie" into the oven.

1. Look around. The pie on the plate is topped with apple slices — it is an apple pie, not banana. The peeled banana is just a banana, not a pie. There is no banana pie object.

1. Remember the hint. The game says the title text is part of the question. The phrase "banana pie" literally appears in the instruction line at the top.

1. Drag the words into the oven. Grab the text "banana pie" from the title and drag it down into the open oven.

1. Close the oven. The words "banana pie" now sit inside the oven, and the oven door closes with emphasis lines around it.

1. Confirm the clear. The prompt reads "The title is also part of the question!" and the green next button appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a wordplay puzzle. The scene shows an apple pie and a banana, which together suggest "banana pie," but neither object is actually a banana pie. You could try dragging the apple pie or the banana into the oven, but the task specifically says "banana pie," and the game's own hint tells you the title text counts.

The trick is to treat the written words as objects. The instruction literally contains the words "banana pie," so you drag that text itself into the oven. This is why the reward shows the words "banana pie" floating inside the oven cavity rather than any real food. It is a classic Brain Out move: when no object matches the request, look for the request's own words.

The coffee cup and the apple pie are distractions. Do not bake the apple pie — that is not what was asked. The answer is to move the on-screen text "banana pie" into the oven.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: putting the apple pie in. It is an apple pie, not a banana pie, so it does not satisfy the task.
• Mistake: putting the peeled banana in. A banana is not a pie.
• Mistake: combining the banana and the pie. You do not need to assemble anything. Drag the words "banana pie" from the title text down into the oven; once the text is inside and the door closes, the level clears.
