Brain Out Level 206
๐ Walkthrough
Overview
Level 206 says "Enter Password" and shows the math problem "37 ร 50 = ?" with an Enter field and an OK button below. At first glance you compute 37 times 50, which is 1850, and type that in. But the Brain Out twist is that the password is not the product at all. The question mark drawn on the right side of the equation is itself the answer. You drag that "?" symbol into the Enter field. The congratulatory message even says "Yes, the '?' is the answer!"

Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the equation "37 ร 50 = ?" on the screen. Do not compute the product in your head.
- The password is not 1850. The puzzle is a riddle about the symbol on the right side of the equals sign.
- Press and hold on the large hand-drawn "?" on the right of the equation.
- Drag that "?" down into the yellow Enter field. The field now contains a question mark.
- Tap the blue OK button. The level-complete pop-up appears with the line "Yes, the '?' is the answer!" Tap Next to continue.
- After dragging the question mark into the input field, tap the blue OK button. The game accepts the symbol itself as the password.
Drag the drawn question mark from the equation into the dark input field. Then press the blue OK button below the field.
Drag the drawn question mark from the equation into the dark input field. Then press the blue OK button below the field. The game accepts the symbol itself as the password.
If the pop-up does not appear on your first attempt, repeat the action described above; the level triggers completion the moment the required object is placed or the required gesture finishes.
After you drag the question mark into the field and press OK, the keypad unlocks with a green checkmark on the screen.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle abuses the idea of a password prompt. When a screen says "Enter Password," you expect a secret code, but this screen shows you the code as part of the math problem. The "?" is literally the missing value, and the game accepts it as the password without ever asking you to evaluate the expression. This level follows Brain Out's signature rule: the obvious action rarely works, and the solution usually involves either moving an on-screen object that looks fixed, using a hardware button, or treating the prompt text itself as a draggable element. Once you recognize the pattern, the trick becomes easy to spot.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Computing 37 ร 50 and typing 1850. The game rejects that because the password is the "?" symbol.
- Looking for a hidden password somewhere else. It is the "?" drawn on the equation itself.
- Tapping the "?" instead of dragging it. It must be moved into the Enter field.
