Brain Out Level 215

Overview

Level 215 says "Tilt the balance to the left!" The board shows a scale with a small monkey on the left pan and a much larger gorilla on the right pan. Because the gorilla is heavier, the scale already tilts to the right. Below the scale are a banana, an apple, and a weight. At first you might try adding items to the left pan or removing the gorilla. But the Brain Out twist is to swap the positions of the two animals. You drag the gorilla onto the left pan, and the scale tilts left because the heavy animal is now on the left side.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the scale. The small monkey is on the left pan, and the large gorilla is on the right pan.
2. The scale tilts to the right because the gorilla is heavier. You need it to tilt left.
3. Do not add the banana, apple, or weight to the left pan. Those are distractions.
4. Press and hold on the gorilla on the right pan.
5. Drag the gorilla over to the left pan. The two animals swap sides.
6. Now the heavy gorilla is on the left, so the scale tilts to the left. The level-complete pop-up appears with the line about how strong gorillas are. Tap Next to continue.
7. After moving the gorilla to the left pan, release it. The scale tips left because the heavy animal is now on that side.

Drag the gorilla from the right pan onto the left pan. The scale tips left because the heavy animal is now on that side.
Drag the gorilla from the right pan onto the left pan. The scale tips left because the heavy animal is now on that side.
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.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle abuses the meaning of "tilt to the left." You might think you need to physically rotate the phone, or add weight to the left side, or remove weight from the right side. But the simplest way to tilt the scale left is to move the heaviest object to the left side. The gorilla is already on the board; you just reposition him. 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

• Dragging the banana, apple, or weight onto the left pan. None of them outweigh the gorilla.
• Trying to tilt the phone physically. The drawn scale does not respond to the accelerometer here.
• Forgetting that the gorilla itself is draggable. He is the object you need to move.
