Brain Puzzle 3 Level 67

Overview

Level 67 is a "debunk the haunting" puzzle. The banner reads "Solve all the paranormal incidents." At night a woman in a blue suit stands shivering in a derelict playground, saying "This place feels really weird." Everything looks haunted: a black-cloaked specter with red eyes floats in the trees, a severed hand sticks out of the sandbox, the slide is streaked with blood, the trash can glows and floats, and the swing moves on its own. A streetlamp, a pink backpack, a lawn mower and a shovel lie around. The goal is to find the ordinary explanation behind each scary sight.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 5

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the scene. The woman is jumpy and assumes ghosts are everywhere. Each creepy thing has a mundane cause — tap around the playground to expose it.

1. Explain the ghost in the trees. The floating black specter is actually a dark sheet / tarp hanging in the branches. Pull it down and the "ghost" vanishes.

1. Dig up the "severed hand." The hand sticking out of the sandbox is not a dismembered limb at all — it belongs to a little girl (or a doll) buried in the sand. Tap/sand it off and the child stands up with her arms raised, relieved.

1. Clean the blood off the slide. The red streaks running down the slide are not blood; they are red paint. Wipe them away and the slide is just a blue plastic slide again.

1. Right the floating trash can. The glowing trash can is tipped over with a can rolling out — it was knocked over by the wind rather than levitating. Stand it back up.

1. Explain the moving swing. The swing that keeps rocking on its own looks like a ghost is pushing it, but the caption "It must be a ghost pushing the swing" is the woman's wrong guess — it is just a draft / the lawn mower's breeze. The flickering streetlamp gets replaced by a traffic cone, and the spiderweb on the backpack is just cobwebs.

1. All incidents solved. Once every scary sight has a normal explanation, the playground is no longer haunted and the "Completed" banner drops with confetti.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a rationalization test. The woman's fear makes ordinary objects look like hauntings, and your job is to reveal the prosaic truth behind each one. The "ghost" is a hanging cloth, the "severed hand" is a child playing in the sandbox, the "blood" is paint, the "levitating" trash can is just tipped over, and the "self-swinging" swing is moved by air. This is why the later frames show the child standing in the sand, the slide clean, and the trash can on its side — the supernatural explanation is exposed as ordinary cause and effect.

The reason you must check the whole playground is that there are several incidents, not one. The lamp, the backpack cobwebs and the shovel are part of the run-down setting; the key taps are the tree, the sandbox hand, the slide, the trash can and the swing. Once the woman realizes nothing is actually supernatural, she stops shivering.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: treating the hand as a real severed limb. It is a girl buried in the sand — dig her out, don't panic.
• Mistake: wiping the slide expecting a body. The red is just paint; there is nothing under it but plastic.
• Mistake: missing the swing. Even after the ghost and hand are solved, the self-swinging swing is a separate incident that needs explaining, or the level stays open.
