Brain Test 5 Level 127

Overview

Level 127 centers on a green-skinned witch and her potion work across two rounds. The first shows her beside a black cauldron of green brew, holding a pale empty bottle, with two red potion bottles on a wooden shelf above and her purple hat nearby, and the prompt "The witch needs an empty bottle." The second returns to the cauldron with the same riddle, "Three little green things, two something smells nice, two legs, and one of the last remaining," beside four ingredient groups: green sprouts, a frog, white daisies, and a herb bundle. The first round readies the vessel, and the second decodes the clues to brew the potion.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 5

Step-by-Step Solution

1. In the bottle round, read "The witch needs an empty bottle." Notice the pale bottle already in her hand and the two red-filled bottles sitting on the shelf.
2. Check whether the bottle she holds still contains liquid. Empty any leftover potion or clear the vessel so it is ready to receive the finished brew.
3. Compare the shelf bottles; their red contents show what a filled bottle looks like, so the target vessel must end up empty rather than full.
4. Leave the purple hat and cauldron aside in this round; the bottle is the item being prepared. Once it is empty, the riddle round appears.
5. In the cauldron round, read the riddle: "Three little green things, two something smells nice, two legs, and one of the last remaining."
6. Match "three little green things" to the sprout group on the right; these round green ingredients go into the pot first.
7. Match "something smells nice" to the white daisies, the fragrant flowers in the group, and add them to the brew.
8. Match "two legs" to the frog, which supplies the leg ingredient the riddle describes, and add it to the cauldron.
9. Match "one of the last remaining" to the herb bundle, and add that final ingredient to complete the potion.
10. When every clue has its matching ingredient in the green brew, the potion settles and the level reaches its completion celebration.

Strategy & Reasoning

The two rounds split vessel preparation from recipe preparation. The witch cannot bottle a finished potion in a dirty or occupied bottle, so the empty-bottle step comes before the brewing round. The red bottles on the shelf are reference points showing a filled vessel, not items to pour into the cauldron.

The riddle works by translating each phrase into one ingredient trait. Green color, fragrance, legs, and the remaining bundle map one-to-one onto the four groups on the right. Reading the literal trait in each phrase avoids guessing by appearance alone, because the frog is green too but its clue is the two legs rather than its color.

The rejected mark at the top of the cauldron scene means an early ingredient choice was wrong. After a rejection, re-read the phrase and test whether the chosen ingredient actually satisfies that trait instead of dropping more groups blindly into the pot.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not give the witch one of the filled red shelf bottles; she specifically needs the empty vessel ready.
• Do not match the frog to the green-things clue; its clue in the riddle is the two legs.
• Do not dump all four groups into the cauldron at once; match each riddle phrase to its own ingredient before adding it.
