Brain Test 5 Level 26

Overview

Several loose geometric shapes are scattered across the page, and the goal is to drag them together so they assemble into the number 8. The pieces are the parts of that digit rather than separate objects to color or arrange randomly, and the level clears once the two stacked loops of the 8 are formed.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look over the scattered shapes and picture the target: a numeral 8 is two closed loops stacked one above the other, joined at the middle.
2. Separate the pieces mentally into those that belong to the upper loop and those that belong to the lower loop, using their curved edges rather than their colors.
3. Drag the first group toward the center and fit its curved edges together to form the upper loop of the digit.
4. Bring the remaining pieces together beneath it to close the lower loop, aligning the middle joins so the two loops sit directly on top of each other.
5. When the assembled pieces read clearly as the number 8, the checkmark appears and the level completes.
6. Lay out the pieces by their bend before dragging anything: pieces with a long outer arc belong on the sides of a loop, and pieces with short straight edges fit the middle join between the two rings.
7. After closing the upper loop, line the lower loop directly beneath it so the two rings share the middle join; an offset lower loop will not read as the stacked 8 the level expects.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a shape-assembly puzzle where the pieces only make sense once reunited. Dragging shapes at random or stacking them flat does not produce a recognizable digit, because the 8 depends on two loops with matching curved sides. The useful clue in each piece is its bend: outer arcs become the sides of the loops, and any short joining edge fits where the two rings meet at the middle.
The scattered layout is deliberate, so a piece that looks off to the side still belongs in one of the two loops. Colors and outlines do not change the digit, which means matching edge shapes matters more than grouping by shade. Once the upper loop closes, the lower pieces become easier to place because their target position sits directly underneath. The level accepts the result only when the combined outline reads as an 8, which is the final check before the checkmark.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Fit the pieces by their curved edges; do not group them by color or by where they started on the page.
• Build one closed loop at a time, upper first, then lower, so the middle join lines up between the two rings.
• Do not leave gaps in a loop; an open C-shape will not register as part of the finished digit 8.
