Brain Test 5 Level 89

Overview

This is a bull-themed rescue puzzle spread across three notebook pages. The page reads "Save the audience!" and shows a bullfighter in a yellow suit standing in the arena, an angry brown bull ready to charge, and four nervous audience members behind a low gray barrier. The overall approach is to distract or redirect the bull before it reaches the barrier and hurts the audience.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 3

Step-by-Step Solution

1. First, recognize the danger: the bull is angry and facing the audience barrier. The bullfighter is standing to the side, not between the bull and the audience. You need to move the bullfighter or use his cape to redirect the bull's attention.
2. Drag the bullfighter in front of the bull, between the bull and the barrier. This positions him as the bull's target instead of the audience.
3. If the bullfighter has a cape, wave it at the bull. The bull will charge the cape instead of the barrier.
4. Alternatively, grab one of the audience members or an object from the stands and throw it near the bull to distract it. The bull will investigate the distraction instead of charging forward.
5. On the apple-shooting page (another round of this level), pull the bowstring back, aim at the apple on the person's head, and release. Make sure you aim carefully — do not hit the person.
6. If the bull still heads for the barrier, drag the cape out in front of the bullfighter. The red fabric will catch the bull's eye and lock its attention.
7. Once the bull is redirected away from the audience, a green checkmark appears to confirm the audience is safe.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is about redirection. The bull charges whatever moves or catches its eye. The audience is behind a barrier that will not hold if the bull rams it. The optimal strategy is to use the bullfighter as the decoy — he is supposed to be the matador, after all. Move him in front of the bull and let the bull charge him.
Alternatives like strengthening the barrier or moving the audience do not work because there is not enough time. The level tests whether you realize the bull can be redirected toward the bullfighter. The apple-shooting round tests precision aiming with a bow.
Make sure you place the bullfighter directly in the bull's line of sight, not off to the side. Bulls lock onto movement, so he needs to be waving the cape actively. If the bull still heads for the barrier, drag the cape out in front of the bullfighter — the red fabric will catch the bull's eye. On the apple-shooting round, draw the bowstring slowly and adjust your aim until the arrow is centered on the apple before releasing.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not let the bull charge the barrier; move the bullfighter into position first to draw the bull's attention.
• Do not shoot the apple while aiming at the person; aim only at the apple on their head.
• Do not wave the cape randomly; hold it steady in front of the bull so it locks onto the cape.
