Brain Test 5 Level 68

Overview

This is a yard-cleaning puzzle spread across three notebook pages. One page reads "The dog is covered in sugar now!" and shows a brown dog standing on a green lawn with white patches of sugar on its fur. A concerned man stands beside the dog. A house with a window and an outdoor water tap is on the left, a shovel leans against the wall, and a metal bucket sits in the grass. A tree stump is visible on the right. The overall approach is to use the water tap and bucket to wash the dog clean.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 3

Step-by-Step Solution

1. First, locate the water tap on the wall of the house. It is a small faucet mounted below the window. Drag the bucket over to the tap to fill it with water. You may need to tap the tap first to turn it on, then place the bucket underneath.
2. Once the bucket is full of water, drag it over to the dog. Pour the water over the dog's body to wash off the sugar (or mud, depending on the round). The white patches on the dog's fur will rinse away.
3. If one bucket of water is not enough, fill the bucket again from the tap and pour a second time. The dog may need two rinses to get completely clean.
4. Do not use the shovel or the tree stump — they are not helpful for washing a dog. The shovel might look like a tool, but it is for digging, not cleaning.
5. When the dog's fur is clean and free of white patches, a green checkmark appears and the man looks relieved.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is straightforward: a dirty dog needs water. The trap is overcomplicating it by using the shovel or trying to brush the sugar off. Water is the only thing that dissolves sugar or washes away mud. The tap on the wall and the bucket on the grass are clearly meant to work together.
The optimal strategy is to fill the bucket at the tap, then carry it to the dog. Alternatives like dragging the dog to the tap do not work — the dog stays in place. You must bring the water to the dog. The tree stump is pure decoration and has no function in this level.
On later rounds, the dog might be covered in mud instead of sugar, or there might be additional dirt patches on its belly. The same method applies: fill the bucket, pour it over the dog, and repeat until clean. If the water tap seems stuck, try tapping it twice to turn it on. The bucket will automatically fill once it is placed underneath the running water.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not try to wipe the sugar off with your hand or a cloth; there is no cloth on the page. Water is the only cleaning tool.
• Do not forget to fill the bucket at the tap first; an empty bucket poured over the dog does nothing.
• Do not use the shovel; it is a decoy object. The only useful items are the tap and the bucket.
