Brain Out Level 7

Overview

A small orange car is parked diagonally across a row of numbered parking spaces, and the prompt asks for the number under the parked car. Several slots show reversed-looking digits, while the space beneath the car itself is completely covered. Below the lot sits an answer counter showing 0, flanked by minus and plus arrows and Clear and OK buttons. The number you need is already painted on the board, but the car is hiding it, so guessing from the visible slots cannot work. You move the car aside, read the revealed slot, set the counter to that number, and confirm it.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 3

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the prompt and accept that one parking number is concealed. The visible digits around the lot are reference points, but none of them is the value the car is sitting on.
2. Do not start adjusting the counter from the visible numbers. Entering a guessed value before the hidden slot is exposed only leads to a rejected answer and a wasted attempt.
3. Press and hold the orange car, then drag it off its marked slot to one side of the lot. The car slides away, and the parking number painted on the previously covered space becomes visible.
4. Read the revealed digit carefully, remembering that the slot markings are drawn at an angle and can look reversed at first glance. The hidden value under the car is 9.
5. Use the plus arrow beside the counter to raise the number from 0 to 9, or Clear it first if a wrong digit was entered. The counter should match the revealed slot exactly before you submit.
6. Tap OK to enter the number. The board accepts 9 and the level-complete panel appears. If the answer is rejected, re-check the revealed digit rather than changing the counter on a hunch.

The core idea is a reveal-then-enter puzzle: the answer exists on the board already, but a movable object is covering it. Brain Out uses this setup whenever a number, letter, or symbol cannot be read directly, and the first real action is always to remove the cover.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level separates two kinds of information. The visible parking numbers are context that helps you recognize the lot, but the requested value belongs to the hidden slot. Guessing from the surrounding digits treats the covered space as if it followed a simple sequence, which the drawing does not guarantee. Only after the car moves can you read the actual answer and enter it with confidence.

Entering a guessed number fails because the covered slot was never visible, so any value chosen before the reveal is arbitrary. Dragging the car without reading the new slot also fails if you submit a counter value that does not match the digit underneath. The intended order is therefore strict: uncover first, read second, enter third. This ordering shows up in other levels where an object hides a number, a key, or a hidden panel.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not tap OK with the car still parked over its slot. The hidden number cannot be confirmed until the car is dragged aside, so submitting early is just a guess.
• Do not rely on the visible neighboring digits to infer the covered one. The slot markings are angled and stylized, and the safe move is to read the revealed digit directly after moving the car.
• If the counter shows a wrong starting value, use Clear before tapping plus, and set the number to 9 before pressing OK. Mismatched digits are the most common reason a correct reveal still fails submission.
