Brain Test 5 Level 61

Overview

This is an itch-relief puzzle spread across three notebook pages. Each page shows a worried-looking man at a desk with a different body part bothering him: one page says "His ears are itchy!" and shows a brush with a spider on it, a cotton swab, and two hands pointing inward. Another page deals with an itchy nose. Objects on the desk are the tools you can use. The overall approach is to pick the right soft tool for the itchy body part and apply it to make the discomfort go away.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. On the ear-itch page, look at the objects on the desk. There is a brush with a spider sitting on it, and a cotton swab (Q-tip) to the right. The cotton swab is the natural tool for cleaning or scratching inside an ear.
2. Drag the cotton swab toward the man's ear. Guide it into his ear canal to scratch the itch. The man's expression will change from uncomfortable to relieved.
3. Do not use the brush — it is too rough for an ear, and the spider on it makes it the wrong tool entirely. The two pointing hands are just visual cues directing you toward the tools.
4. On the nose-itch page, look for a soft object nearby. The anchor mentions a cat's tail — locate the cat or any soft, flexible item on the page. Drag it gently across the man's nose to tickle him until he sneezes.
5. Once the itch is relieved, the man smiles and a green checkmark appears. The next page loads automatically.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle tests matching tool to body part. Ears need soft, narrow objects like cotton swabs; noses need light tickling from something soft and fuzzy. The brush with the spider is a decoy — it looks like a tool but is wrong for both ears and noses because it is too stiff and has a spider on it.
The optimal strategy is to identify which object matches the body part described in the prompt. The two hands pointing inward are a hint: they are pointing at the tools on the desk, not at the man. Alternatives like tapping the man or the spider do nothing. The spider on the brush is just decoration — you do not need to remove it; you simply use the other tool.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not use the brush for itchy ears; it is too rough and the spider on it makes it the wrong tool. The cotton swab is the correct choice.
• Do not tap the man's ear directly; you must drag the tool onto it for the interaction to register.
• Do not forget the cat's tail on the nose page; it is the soft object you need to tickle his nose with, not the brush or the swab.
