Brain Puzzle 3 Level 65
๐ Walkthrough
Overview
Level 65 is a "pick the right kitten" pet-shop puzzle. The banner reads "Help the girl pick the most satisfying kitten." A schoolgirl in a sailor uniform walks in holding a dog on a leash โ she already has a pet. Behind the counter stands a red-haired shopkeeper in a green apron, and on the rug in front of him sit a whole row of identical-looking orange tabby kittens. Around the room are a hairdryer on a shelf, a book in a cubby, a feather teaser wand on the floor, and a cat tree with a lump on top. The shopkeeper greets her: "Welcome to the cat pet shop." The kittens look the same, so you must use the props to test them and see which one is truly the best.

- Estimated moves: 4
Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the setup. The girl wants the most satisfying kitten, but all the orange tabbies look identical. Look at the props around the room โ they are the tools to test the kittens.
- Hand out the books. Tapping the book makes every kitten put on glasses and start reading. The caption says "I like kittens that love learning" โ the girl values a smart kitten. One kitten stands out with a bright rainbow aura around it.
- Use the hairdryer on the shopkeeper. Turn on the hairdryer and blast the shopkeeper. His red hair blows clean off, revealing he is actually bald โ the "store owner" is a fraud who was hiding something. The hair was a wig.
- Open the wall cabinet. The upper wall cabinet doors swing open and turn out to be hiding the real, genuine kitten. As the impostor kittens scatter, the door to the shop opens and the crowd thins.
- Choose the special kitten. In the end only one kitten remains โ an orange-and-white one with a white chest, sitting calmly on the floor. The dog has jumped up on the counter, and the girl blushes with hearts around her head, delighted.
- Leave happy. With the right kitten chosen and the con artist exposed, the shop door stands open to the sunny outdoors and the "Completed" banner drops.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle is a judge-the-options test disguised as a cute cat shop. Because every kitten looks the same, the way to tell them apart is to give them a test: the book reveals which ones "love learning." But the bigger twist is the shopkeeper himself โ his red hair is a wig that the hairdryer blows off, exposing him as a phony running a scam with a shelf of lookalike kittens. Once he is unmasked, the genuine kitten he was hiding inside the wall cabinet is the one to take.
The girl already has a dog, which is a clue that this is not a simple "pick a cute cat" level โ the dog's presence and the leashed walk suggest she is a serious pet owner who wants a quality animal, not a random tabby. The feather wand and the lump on the cat tree are extra distractions. The winning kitten is the calm orange-and-white one that survives the cull, matching the happy hearts over the girl's head.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: just tapping any kitten. They all look identical; picking one at random does not satisfy her. You must test them first with the book.
- Mistake: forgetting the hairdryer. The hairdryer is not for the cats โ it blows off the shopkeeper's wig and exposes the scam.
- Mistake: missing the wall cabinet. The real kitten is hidden inside the upper cabinet; open it, or you are left with the impostor kittens.
