Brain Test 5 Level 10

Overview

"Which plate belongs to him?" A boy sits behind a table slurping a single long strand of noodle that dangles from his mouth into a tangled pile across the tabletop. Three steaming bowls of noodles sit along the bottom edge, one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right, each with its own strand rising into the tangle. The puzzle is a line-tracing exercise: follow the one strand attached to his mouth back through the knot to the correct bowl and tap it.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Start at the noodle in the boy's mouth; that is the only strand that matters, because the question asks which plate belongs to him, not which bowl looks fullest or closest.
2. Trace that single strand downward from his chin into the tangled pile. Follow the same continuous line as it loops and crosses over other strands; do not switch onto a neighboring noodle at a crossing, because the overlaps on this board are visual crossings, not places where two noodles join.
3. Keep the line in mind until it exits the tangle at the bottom edge and enters one of the three steaming bowls. That bowl is the one connected to his mouth by the single strand he is eating from.
4. Tap the identified bowl directly. If you choose the wrong one, the tangle does not clear, and you can return to the mouth and retrace the strand more slowly instead of guessing among the remaining bowls.
5. The later footage in the reference video shows unrelated follow-up situations, including a bedroom scene where a man lies awake beside a grumpy cat and a bathroom scene where a green, stinking toilet is repaired with the plunger and the screwdriver from the shelf. These are separate rounds; the plate question on this board resolves once the correct bowl is tapped.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level is built to reward careful tracing over quick guessing. The three bowls all hold similar-looking noodles and steam, so appearance gives no signal; the only objective link between the boy and a bowl is the continuous strand in his mouth. At every loop and crossing the temptation is to follow whichever line looks easiest, but that strand usually belongs to a different bowl, which is why a straight visual shortcut lands on the wrong plate.
A method that works reliably is to fix the starting point at the mouth and keep one mental finger on that line all the way down, rather than starting from a bowl and walking upward, because a bowl-side strand can disappear into a knot that belongs to another plate. The puzzle also does not depend on how hungry the boy looks, on the position of the bowls, or on any color difference between them; those details are set dressing. Once the traced line reaches its bowl, the interaction is a single tap, so the whole challenge lies in the tracing rather than in any hidden object or drag.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not pick the bowl nearest him or the fullest-looking one; neither cue identifies his actual plate.
• Slow down wherever strands cross or loop; that is where a careless trace jumps onto a neighboring noodle and leads to a wrong tap.
• Tap the bowl itself once you finish tracing, not the noodle strand in the pile; the level registers a selection on the plate, not on the tangle.
