Brain Out Level 124
๐ Walkthrough
Overview
A flask shows two separated liquid layers, red on top and blue below, and the prompt asks you to mix the two colors together. The liquids will not combine by tapping the flask, because the separation is a physical state that needs agitation. The solution covers the opening and shakes the device so the layers swirl into a single purple mixture.
The two colored layers sit still and separated inside the flask, with a clear horizontal boundary between the red top and the blue bottom.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 3
Step-by-Step Solution
- Inspect the flask and confirm the red and blue liquids are still sitting in two distinct layers with a clear boundary between them.
- Cover the mouth of the flask, or hold the scene so the liquid cannot spill, then begin shaking the device back and forth vigorously.
- Keep the shaking motion going until the two layers break up and swirl together inside the container.
- Watch the liquid turn into a uniform purple as red and blue combine. The level accepts the mixed color once the layers disappear.
- If the boundary still shows after a short shake, keep agitating; a single tap or slow tilt will not blend the two liquids.
Hold the scene steady first so the flask cannot spill during the shake, then rock the device back and forth with enough speed to swirl the layers together. Keep going until the boundary disappears and the whole liquid turns one consistent purple shade. Stop shaking once the color is uniform; further movement will not change the result. The level accepts the mixed purple liquid as soon as no separate red or blue band remains inside the flask.
Once the two colors have combined, do not keep shaking after the purple appears; the level reads the uniform mixture and extra motion will not improve it. If a red or blue band still peeks through near the top or bottom of the flask, continue the swirl until that leftover layer breaks up and the whole liquid matches one shade.
Strategy & Reasoning
Color mixing is presented as a physical experiment rather than a menu choice. Red and blue have to actually touch and circulate, which means the layer boundary must be broken by movement. Brain Out maps this to a shake gesture on the device, turning the idea of stirring a bottle into a motion the player performs physically. The expected result is the secondary color purple, and a uniform bottle of it signals completion. Color mixing in the real world requires the liquids to circulate and touch, so the puzzle substitutes a shake gesture for stirring. The expected secondary color purple is the visible payoff, and the level is really checking that you break the layer boundary instead of tapping the flask and expecting the colors to combine on their own.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Shake the device instead of tapping the liquid; tapping leaves the layers untouched.
- Make sure the flask opening is covered before shaking, or the motion will read as spilling rather than mixing.
- Judge completion by the uniform purple color, not by the number of shakes you have performed.
