Brain Test 5 Level 69

Overview

This is a terrain-crossing puzzle spread across three notebook pages. One page reads "He must climb the hill." and shows an explorer in a hat standing in a shallow hole he dug with a small shovel, facing a tall vertical cliff on the right. A beaver peeks out of a burrow in the cliff face. The sun, a cloud, and a gust of wind float in the sky. Another page in the level involves crossing a swamp using a fallen tree as a bridge. The overall approach is to use the available objects and animals to overcome whatever terrain obstacle is blocking the way.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 4

Step-by-Step Solution

1. On the hill-climb page, notice that the man is standing in a hole. He cannot climb the cliff from inside a hole. First, use the shovel to dig himself out of the hole, or find another way to raise his position.
2. Look at the beaver in the cliff face. Beavers are tree-cutting animals. Drag the beaver over to any nearby tree (on other pages of this level) and have it chew the tree down. The fallen tree becomes a bridge across the swamp or a ramp up the hill.
3. On the swamp-crossing page, drag the tree so it falls across the water. Use it as a log bridge to walk from one side to the other. Make sure the tree is positioned horizontally across the swamp, not just lying on the bank.
4. Once the bridge or ramp is in place, guide the explorer across. He will walk on his own once the path is clear.
5. When he reaches the other side or the top of the hill, a green checkmark appears to confirm the level is complete.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle works by combining animals and objects. The beaver is not just decoration — it is a tool for cutting down trees. The tree becomes the bridge or ramp. Without the beaver, the tree cannot be felled, and without the tree, the terrain cannot be crossed.
The optimal strategy is to first identify what obstacle is blocking the way — whether it is a cliff, a swamp, or a hole — and then figure out which available object solves it. Alternatives like climbing the cliff directly or jumping across the swamp do not work; the explorer is not physically capable of those actions. The wind and cloud are weather decoration and do not interact.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not try to climb the cliff directly; it is too steep. You need a ramp or a bridge first.
• Do not forget the beaver can cut down trees; it is not just a cute animal. It is the key tool for felling the tree that becomes your crossing.
• Do not leave the tree on the bank; it must be dragged into position across the obstacle to become usable as a bridge.
