Brain Test 5 Level 9

Overview

"He wants to fly." A boy in an orange shirt stands on the grass looking glum, with a sun in the upper left, a purple balloon tied to a branch on the right, and two more balloons (red and pink) standing on the grass beside a gray coil spring. The level progresses through balloon attempts, a blue bird joining the scene, and ends in a starry night sky with a moon and a checkmark.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the floating purple balloon tied to the branch and the red and pink balloons stuck in the grass; these are the lift sources the prompt points to for getting him airborne.
2. Bring the balloons over to the boy and release them so he can hold the strings. Their buoyancy is meant to lift him off the ground toward the sky rather than leave him standing on the lawn.
3. In the next round, when the balloons have gone limp, a blue bird appears beside the boy; the bird becomes the flying companion for the remaining attempt.
4. The gray coil spring on the grass can act as a bounce aid if a direct lift stalls, but the winning outcome is reaching the air rather than jumping in place beside the lawn.
5. The scene opens into a purple night sky dotted with stars and a yellow moon, the checkmark appears, and the level finishes once he is airborne.
6. When you bring the balloons over, make sure the strings reach the boy's hands rather than floating up past him; a balloon that drifts away on its own does not pull him into the air.
7. In the later round where the balloons have gone limp and the blue bird appears, keep the bird beside him as the flying companion, and treat the coil spring only as a backup bounce if a direct lift stalls; the finished night-sky scene confirms he has reached the air.

Strategy & Reasoning

Flight in this puzzle has to be supplied by something that can carry him, because the boy has no lift of his own. Tapping him, dragging him upward, or making him jump all fail on their own; the level checks that a lift source — balloons first, then the bird — is attached to him. The sun and the bare branch are background elements that frame the outdoor scene without being interactive.
The repeated prompts ("again", "still wants to fly") signal that an earlier lift attempt did not hold, which explains why the balloon skins end up deflated on the grass and the bird takes over in the later round. The coil spring reads as a trampoline-like bounce, but a bounce only returns him to the ground, so it cannot be the final answer on its own. The completed night-sky backdrop with the moon and stars confirms that the target state is being up in the air, not a higher stance on the lawn.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Attach the balloons to his hands or body; simply floating the balloons upward will not tow him along.
• Do not tap the boy expecting him to jump or fly by himself; the level needs an external lift source delivered to him.
• Treat the spring as a backup bounce aid, not the solution; remember that reaching the sky, not bouncing on the grass, clears the level.
