Brain Out Level 121
๐ Walkthrough
Overview
The cake puzzle returns with three candles arranged across the frosting and one match available on the side. The screen again states that this is a second birthday, so the goal is to produce two burning candles rather than three. The walkthrough video shows the flame being transferred from the first lit wick to a second one through a physical tilt.
The three candles and single match are laid out the same way as the earlier birthday puzzle, and the prompt repeats the second-birthday wording to reinforce the two-candle target.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 3
Step-by-Step Solution
- Survey the cake and the match. Note the three candles and remember that the birthday number in the sentence is two, which sets how many wicks must be lit.
- Drag the match onto one candle to ignite its wick. Let the flame stabilize so the candle is clearly burning.
- Tilt the device toward an adjacent candle so the flame bends sideways and touches that second wick. Hold the angle until the neighbor catches fire.
- Confirm two candles are burning together. The celebration appears once the second candle is alight and the state matches the two-year-old clue.
- Re-ignite any candle that sputters out, and keep the tilt direction toward the unlit neighbor instead of back toward the already lit candle.
After the match touches the first wick, give the flame a moment to stabilize before you tilt, because a freshly lit wick can sputter if moved too soon. Lean toward whichever neighbor has enough room for the flame to reach, and hold the angle until the second wick catches. Check both flames from side to side to confirm they are burning independently, then release the tilt. The completed state shows two candles alight, and the level celebrates once that count matches the age clue, so there is no need to touch the third candle at all.
Strategy & Reasoning
This level repeats the birthday setup to test whether you read the number in the prompt before touching the props. The match is a one-use source of fire, and the puzzle designers rely on the physics of a leaning flame to light the second candle. The win condition is tied to the birthday age, so the correct count, not the number of visible candles, decides the solution. Repeating the same cake setup tests whether you carry the lesson forward: the match lights one wick directly, and the device tilt handles the second. The age in the sentence remains the deciding constraint, and the unused third candle is simply part of the visual scene rather than a required target.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Read the age in the prompt first; the candle count must follow that number.
- A straight upright flame will not reach the next candle, so you must physically tilt the device.
- Watch the wicks rather than the match; the match itself disappears from the solution after the first candle catches.
