Brain Test 5 Level 35

Overview

A bird has fallen to the ground below its nest, which sits up in the tree. A trampoline is the prop provided to get it back up, and the solution is to use that bounce to lift the bird from the ground to the nest rather than trying to carry it straight upward by hand.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Locate the bird on the ground beneath the tree and look up at the nest in the branches, noting the height the bird has to reach.
2. Find the trampoline placed on the ground and position it under the bird or under the line leading up to the nest.
3. Set the bird onto the trampoline so it can bounce; the spring lifts it upward toward the branches instead of leaving it on the lawn.
4. Guide the bounce toward the nest opening so the bird lands in the nest rather than bouncing off to the side of the tree.
5. Once the bird is back inside the nest, the checkmark appears and the rescue is complete.
6. Align the trampoline directly between the bird on the ground and the nest opening so the bounce travels straight up into the branches instead of toward the trunk.
7. If the bird bounces off to the side, shift the trampoline under its landing path and send it up again; the checkmark appears only when the bird lands inside the nest rather than beside it.
8. If the first bounce only lifts the bird partway, reposition the trampoline under its landing spot and send it up again until it drops into the nest rather than onto the grass.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level uses the trampoline's bounce as the only way to cover the vertical gap. The bird cannot fly back up on its own in this scene, and there is no ladder or rope supplied, so the spring prop is the intended lift. Moving the bird directly toward the nest by hand does not register, which signals that the bounce interaction has to happen first.
The placement of the trampoline matters as much as using it. A trampoline off to the side bounces the bird away from the tree, and one too far from the base does not aim the jump at the nest opening. Aligning the spring between the ground bird and the nest keeps the upward path straight. This is a simple physical prop puzzle: the object's real-world function — bouncing something upward — is exactly what the level asks for, so no hidden object or trick interpretation is needed. The finished nest with the bird back inside confirms the bounce reached the right height.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Put the trampoline under the bird and aimed at the nest; a side placement bounces it away from the tree.
• Do not drag the bird straight up to the nest; the level wants the trampoline bounce to do the lifting.
• Make sure the bird lands in the nest opening, not against the trunk or beside the branches.
