Brain Test 5 Level 115

Overview

Level 115 is a category-sorting puzzle with two rounds, each asking you to put objects that share a trait into a large circle. The first round shows a mix of brand logos around the circle, with car-brand marks such as Honda, BMW, Renault, Mercedes, and Ford already grouped inside, and food or drink brands such as Pepsi, Starbucks, and McDonald's outside. The second round switches to world landmarks: a domed mosque-style building sits inside the circle under a red cross, while the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Colosseum, pyramid, and Taj Mahal lie around the edge. The task is to name the shared trait in each round and move only the matching objects into the circle.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 8

Step-by-Step Solution

1. In the first round, read "Put 5 objects that share a trait into the circle." Look at the logos already inside the circle and identify what they have in common.
2. Notice that the Honda, BMW, Renault, Mercedes, and Ford marks are all automobile manufacturers. That shared trait is the category the circle is collecting.
3. Check every logo outside the circle against that trait. The Pepsi, Starbucks, and McDonald's marks belong to food and drink companies, so they stay outside.
4. Drag any remaining car-brand logos into the circle until the five matching automobile marks are grouped together. Leave the non-car brands on the outside of the ring.
5. When the five car brands are inside and the food brands are outside, the first round clears and the landmark round appears.
6. Read "Put 3 objects that share a trait into the circle." Study the landmarks and the red cross over the building already placed inside; that rejected pick shows the current grouping is wrong.
7. Compare the landmarks by their shared trait, such as their region, architectural style, or age. Identify the three that genuinely match that trait and the ones that do not.
8. Remove the mismatched building from the circle, then drag the three matching landmarks into the ring. When the three correct objects are grouped together, the round clears and the level reaches its completion celebration.

Strategy & Reasoning

The circle puzzles work by naming one shared category before sorting. In the first round, the inside logos give the answer away: they are all car brands, which lets you separate automobile makers from restaurant and beverage brands by industry rather than by color or shape.

The second round hides the trait more subtly because all the pictures are famous buildings. The mismatch has to come from a real shared property such as continent, building type, or era. The red cross over the current inside building confirms that the first guess was wrong, so re-examine the landmarks instead of adding more objects to a bad group.

A common mistake is grouping by visual similarity, such as putting all stone monuments together. The accepted trait is usually a concrete category, so each outside landmark should be tested against that rule: if it belongs, it goes in; if it does not, it stays out.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not sort logos by color or outline; the shared trait in the first round is that they are car brands.
• Do not leave a rejected landmark inside the circle in the second round; remove it before adding the three correct matches.
• Do not force a fourth or fifth landmark into the circle; each round asks for a specific number, and extras break the grouping.
