Brain Puzzle 3 Level 23

Overview

Level 23 says "Help them fix the parachute properly." A red-haired skydiver in a skull T-shirt is free-falling, clutching two women by the hands — one woman holds a baby bundle, a blonde in a pink dress holds a suitcase. The bottom line admits "I don't know how to use a parachute." Floating around them are a red phone, a cardboard box, rolls of tape, and a small drone. When the chute finally opens it is riddled with holes.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 6

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Understand the problem. The parachute opened, but it is full of torn holes, so it will not slow them down. You must patch every hole with whatever is floating nearby before they hit the ground.

1. Open the chute first. Tap the backpack/ripcord so the parachute deploys; you can see it bloom but immediately notice the diamond-shaped holes in the fabric.

1. Patch the holes with the tape. Tap the floating rolls of tape (the pink roll and the white duct-tape roll) and apply strips over the holes; tape is the quick fix for rips.

1. Use the phone and the cardboard. Tap the red phone and the cardboard box and press them over the larger holes; they act as rigid patches.

1. Use the cloth/bandage scraps. The remaining small holes get covered with a bandage, a scrap of paper, and a cloth patch. In the completed frame the canopy is covered in mismatched patches — phone, tape, cardboard, bandage — sealing every gap.

1. Let the chute hold air. Once all holes are covered, the parachute finally inflates properly and slows the whole group; a drone hovers alongside them and the red "Completed" ribbon appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a "patch the holes" repair puzzle: the parachute fabric has a set of holes, and the environment provides exactly enough loose objects to cover them. The visual cue is the list of mismatched patches visible in the finished canopy — phone, tape strips, cardboard, bandage, paper, cloth — which tells you every floating object has to be used as a patch rather than discarded. The joke is that nobody is a rigger, so they tape a phone and a box onto the parachute.

The key is completeness: as long as any diamond-shaped hole is still open, the chute leaks and fails. You have to work through the floating items one by one until the canopy is fully covered. The seagull, the drone, the baby, and the suitcase are dressing; the group keeps falling until the patches seal the air.

The guy losing his pants to reveal heart-patterned boxers is just the running gag, not a puzzle step.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: forgetting to open the chute. Nothing works until the ripcord is pulled; the holes only exist once the canopy is out.
• Mistake: leaving one hole open. The level completes only when every hole is patched; scan the canopy for any remaining diamond gap.
• Mistake: discarding the "useless" items. The phone, the box, and the tape are all patches, not junk — use every floating object on a hole.
