Brain Test 5 Level 80

Overview

This is a seating-arrangement puzzle spread across five notebook pages. The page reads "They must take a seat." and shows a row of five brown seats at the bottom. Three seats are already occupied — by a blonde woman, an orange cat, and a brown dog — leaving two empty seats on the far left and far right. Above the seats, relationship icons show who likes whom: a man loves a woman, a woman loves a cowboy, a woman is angry at a dog, and a woman loves a cat. A standing fan blows air from the left. Two unoccupied characters — a brown-haired man and a cowboy with a hat — wait at the bottom. The overall approach is to place the remaining characters in the empty seats so that every relationship is satisfied.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. First, study the relationship icons. The man loves the blonde woman, so he must sit next to her. The cowboy is loved by the blonde woman, so he must also sit near her. The woman is angry at the dog, so she cannot sit next to the dog.
2. The blonde woman sits in the first occupied seat from the left. The empty seat on the far left is next to her on one side, and the cat is on her other side. Place the man in the far-left empty seat so he is next to the blonde woman.
3. The far-right empty seat is next to the dog. The blonde woman loves the cowboy, so place the cowboy in the far-right seat. Check that he is not too close to the dog in a way that violates the anger icon — the woman is angry at the dog, not the cowboy.
4. If the fan on the left blows something away that blocks a seat, drag the fan out of the way or turn it off. The fan might be blowing air that prevents a character from sitting.
5. Once both empty seats are filled with the correct characters, all relationships are satisfied and a green checkmark appears.
6. On later rounds, the seating arrangement changes and new characters appear. Repeat the same logic: map out the relationships, determine who must sit next to whom, and place characters accordingly.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a logic-based seating problem. Each relationship icon tells you who likes or dislikes whom, and you must arrange the remaining characters in the empty seats to satisfy all conditions. The key is to start with the strongest constraints — the pairs that must sit next to each other — and work outward.
The optimal strategy is to first identify which characters are already seated, then figure out which empty seats are adjacent to which occupied characters. The man must be next to the woman, and the cowboy must be near her too. The fan is a distraction or a tool — use it only if it is blocking a seat. Alternatives like swapping already-seated characters do not work because they are fixed.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not place the cowboy next to the dog if the relationship icon shows anger; the woman's dislike of the dog means seating arrangements must respect that boundary.
• Do not forget the man must sit next to the blonde woman; the heart icon means they are a pair.
• Do not leave the fan running if it blows away a seat or blocks a character; move it or turn it off first.
