Brain Test 5 Level 131

Overview

Level 131 pairs an outdoor protection scene with a shape-edge sequence round. The first shows a girl in a pink dress holding a pink ice cream cone on the left, a green parasol standing on the right, a cloud in the sky, and a row of small fish hanging under the grassy edge, with two prompts: "Protect her ice cream!" above and "Feed the fish enough." below. The second shows the number sequence "5 4 3 6 2 5 4" above four shapes — a red square, a yellow pentagon, a purple triangle, and a cyan hexagon — plus a diagonal line on the right. The first uses the umbrella and available food for the girl and fish, and the second maps each number to a shape by its number of sides.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 5

Step-by-Step Solution

1. In the outdoor round, read "Protect her ice cream!" Look at the girl standing in the open with her cone and the green parasol on the right side of the grass.
2. Move the parasol over the girl so its shade covers her and the ice cream, blocking direct sun or rain from above. Check that the cloud above is not blocking her either, and move it aside if needed.
3. Read "Feed the fish enough." Look along the underside of the grass, where several small fish are hanging in a row waiting to be fed.
4. Gather or drop the available food pieces into the water so every waiting fish is fed. Count the fish and give enough portions to the whole row rather than feeding only the nearest one.
5. Once the ice cream is shaded and all the fish have been fed, the round clears and the shape sequence appears.
6. In the second round, read the sequence "5 4 3 6 2 5 4." Identify each shape by its side count: the triangle has 3 sides, the square has 4, the pentagon has 5, and the hexagon has 6; the diagonal line counts as 2.
7. Convert the sequence into shapes: 5 is the pentagon, 4 the square, 3 the triangle, 6 the hexagon, 2 the line, then 5 the pentagon and 4 the square again.
8. Select or place the shapes in that order to match the number list. When the full sequence matches, the round clears and the level reaches its completion celebration.

Strategy & Reasoning

The outdoor round has two separate needs even though one scene holds both. The girl and cone need shade, which is why the parasol is present; the fish under the grass need food, which is the lower prompt. Solving one without the other leaves the round unresolved, so check the upper subject and the lower animals before moving on.

The shape round treats numbers as side counts. Rather than picking shapes by color, count the edges of each one and match the count to the number in the sequence. Repeats in the list, such as the two 5s and two 4s near the end, mean the pentagon and square are chosen again, not a new shape.

The line on the right is the 2-side entry in this set, which is easy to overlook because it sits apart from the filled shapes. Matching each number to its edge count before entering the sequence prevents swapping the square and pentagon, which both have similar outlines.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not feed the fish before shading the ice cream; both the girl and the fish need to be handled in this round.
• Do not match shapes by their color; the sequence keys to the number of sides, not red, yellow, purple, or cyan.
• Do not forget the diagonal line as the 2-sided entry; it belongs between the hexagon and the second pentagon in the sequence.
