Brain Out Level 67

Overview

The prompt "How many chicks are there?" shows four yellow cartoon chicks arranged in a two-by-two grid, with a counter showing 0 and Clear / OK buttons below. At first glance there are clearly four chicks, but the question is trickier than it looks — there are more chicks hiding behind the visible ones, and you have to move the foreground chicks around to reveal them.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 4

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the four visible chicks. They are drawn overlapping, and there may be more behind them.
2. Press and hold one of the chicks and drag it away from the group. As you move it, another chick appears where it was.
3. Continue dragging each visible chick aside, one at a time, to uncover additional chicks hidden behind them.
4. Count every chick that appears, including the originally visible four. The total number of chicks on screen, once all are uncovered, is eleven.
5. Use the plus button to raise the counter to 11, then tap OK. The congratulations popup appears with the message "Lucky for you!"

Four chicks are visible in a two-by-two grid. They overlap, and there may be more hidden behind them. The counter starts at 0.

Drag each visible chick aside, one at a time, to reveal the chicks hidden behind them. Keep going until no new chicks appear. The total count is 11. Use the plus button to set the counter to 11 and tap OK.

Drag each chick aside until no more appear. You should find 11 total. Set the counter to 11 using the plus button. If you set it to 4, the level fails. The hidden chicks are the whole point.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle tests whether you assume the four chicks you see are the only ones. The artist drew the chicks in a tight cluster so that several are partially hidden. Dragging them apart reveals the full set. The correct total is eleven: four foreground chicks plus seven that were concealed. Simply answering 4 is the most common mistake. The counter is deliberately set to 0 to remind you that you need to count and enter the number yourself.

The hidden chicks are revealed only by dragging the visible ones apart. If you simply count the four chicks on screen, you get 4, which is wrong. The artist drew the chicks in a tight cluster so that several are partially hidden. Once you move every visible chick, additional ones appear. The total is 11, and you must enter that number on the counter. This mechanic repeats later in level 72.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not answer 4. That is only the visible count.
• Do not tap the chicks. They must be dragged to reveal the hidden ones.
• Do not stop after revealing a few extra chicks. Keep moving them until no more appear; the total is 11.
