Brain Out Level 10

Overview

The board lays out four edible-looking items: a soft-serve ice cream cone, a box of fries, a watermelon slice, and a hen sitting on a nest with eggs tucked beneath her. The prompt asks you to find something you cannot eat. Three of the props are clearly food, and the hen itself looks like a possible meal, so the inedible answer is not sitting fully in the open. It is the nest under the hen, which stays hidden until you move the bird away. Drag the hen aside and tap the exposed nest to clear the level.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Scan the four visible props and sort them by whether they look edible. The ice cream, fries, and watermelon are ordinary food items, and the hen reads as an animal rather than a snack in this drawing.
2. Notice that the hen is sitting on top of something: a woven nest holding eggs. That nest is partly covered by the bird's body, and it is the one object on the board that no one would eat.
3. Do not tap the food props first. Selecting the ice cream, fries, or watermelon fails because those are exactly the edible items the prompt excludes.
4. Press and hold the hen and drag her off the nest to one side of the board. As the bird moves, the nest underneath becomes fully visible, including the eggs resting in it.
5. Tap the exposed nest. The game recognizes it as the inedible object and the success panel appears.
6. If your first tap on the hen or a food item was rejected, move the hen further aside and check that the nest is uncovered before tapping it again.

The mechanic here is move-to-reveal: the true answer is covered by another scene object, and the visible props are decoys. Brain Out hides inedible or unusable items this way often, placing the real target behind a character so that only disturbing the arrangement exposes it.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level's question turns on the category "cannot eat." The three food props are deliberately obvious snacks, which keeps your attention on them, while the hen draws the eye as the largest non-food figure. The nest, however, is the genuinely inedible object: it is woven plant material with no food value, and it was never meant to be selected while the hen still sits on it.

Tapping the hen fails because the prompt is not asking for an animal versus a food; it is asking for something inedible, and the bird is not the hidden target. Tapping the food fails for the opposite reason. The only way to reach the nest is to remove the hen covering it, which mirrors other boards where a movable character sits on top of the real answer. Once you treat the visible surface as a possible cover rather than the final scene, the hidden object becomes straightforward to find.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not tap the ice cream, fries, or watermelon looking for the inedible one. Those three are edible by design and are the decoys in this puzzle.
• Do not stop at the hen as the non-food answer. The hen is only covering the real target; drag her aside to expose the nest underneath.
• Make sure the nest is fully uncovered before tapping it. A partially hidden nest can still read as part of the hen, so move the bird well clear of the eggs and woven base.
