Brain Out Level 192
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 192 says "Park the car." The board shows a white car waiting above a horizontal parking strip, with one lime-green car parked on the left side of the strip, one blue car parked on the right side, and a single empty parking stall between them. The four triangular arrow buttons around the screen drive the white car. The empty stall looks reachable, but the green car is sitting in the lane to its left, blocking the approach. The Brain Out twist is that you can drive the green car itself out of the way with the same arrow controls, then drive the white car into the empty stall.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 5
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the parking strip. There is one empty stall between the green car on the left and the blue car on the right. The white car is waiting above the strip.
- The green car is blocking the left end of the strip. Before driving the white car down, move the green car out of the way.
- Use the down-pointing arrow button on the lower left to drive the green car off the strip and down onto the open space below. The green car slides down and no longer blocks the lane.
- Now select the white car by driving it down with the up/down arrow buttons. Steer the white car vertically until it reaches the height of the parking strip.
- Drive the white car to the right with the right-pointing arrow button, sliding it into the empty stall between where the green car was and the blue car.
- Once the white car is centered in the empty stall, a green check mark appears over it, completing the level. If the white car bumps into the blue car, back up and re-center.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle is a small sliding-car puzzle. Most players assume the arrow buttons only control the white car, but the buttons actually control whichever car you are currently steering. Once you realize the green car is also movable, the obstruction disappears.
Driving the white car directly into the empty stall fails because the green car blocks the left approach. Trying to drag the white car with your finger also does nothing; the arrows are the controls. The order is important: first remove the green car from the strip, then drive the white car into the empty space.
This level is a small lesson in treating all cars as controllable rather than treating the parked cars as permanent obstacles. Brain Out's parking puzzles usually let you reposition any vehicle on the board.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Trying to drive the white car around the green car. The green car blocks the lane; you have to move it first.
- Dragging the cars with your finger. The triangular arrow buttons are the driving controls.
- Leaving the green car on the strip. It must be driven down off the parking strip before the white car can pull in.
