Brain Out Level 72

Overview

The prompt "How many chicks are there?" shows four yellow cartoon chicks in a two-by-two grid, with a counter showing 0 and Clear / OK buttons. Just like level 67, the visible chicks are only a subset; more chicks are hidden behind them and must be revealed by dragging the foreground ones apart.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 4

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the four visible chicks. They overlap, and there may be more behind them.
2. Press and hold one chick and drag it away. As it moves, another chick is revealed underneath.
3. Continue dragging each chick aside until no more hidden chicks appear.
4. Count all the chicks on screen, including the originally visible ones. The total is eleven.
5. Use the plus button to set the counter to 11, then tap OK. The congratulations popup appears with the message "Lucky for you!"

Four chicks are visible. They overlap, and there are more hidden behind them. The counter starts at 0.

Drag each chick aside to reveal the ones behind. Keep going until no more appear. The total is 11. Set the counter to 11 and tap OK.

Drag each chick aside to reveal hidden ones. The total is 11. Set the counter to 11. If you enter 4, the level fails.

Continue dragging chicks until no new ones appear. Some chicks are hidden behind more than one layer, so keep moving them even after you think you have found them all. The total count is 11.

After you have dragged every chick aside, count them carefully. The counter uses the plus and minus buttons, so press plus until the display reads 11. If you overshoot, press minus once. Then tap the blue OK button to submit the answer.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is the same mechanic as the earlier chick-counting level. The artist clustered the chicks so that several are partially hidden. Dragging them apart is the only way to count them accurately. The correct total is eleven: four visible plus seven concealed. Answering 4 is the trap. The game rewards you for physically rearranging the scene before counting.

This is the same hidden-chicks mechanic as level 67. The four visible chicks are only the foreground; seven more are concealed behind them. Dragging each chick aside reveals the hidden ones. The total is 11. If you enter 4, the level fails. The counter must show 11 before you tap OK.

Some of the hidden chicks are partially tucked behind other chicks, so you may need to drag a chick more than once to uncover all of them. Keep moving them around until no new yellow heads appear. The final count of eleven includes every chick on the screen.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not answer 4. There are hidden chicks.
• Do not tap the chicks. They must be dragged to reveal the ones behind.
• Do not stop early. Keep moving chicks until no new ones appear; the final count is 11.
