Tricky Test 2 Level 103

Overview

The prompt at the top reads "Make the sum of dices 13." On screen are two large white dice and a blue "Done" button near the bottom. The left die initially shows five pips (four corners plus the centre), and the right die shows six pips (two columns of three red dots). A quick mental sum gives 5 + 6 = 11, which is nowhere near 13. The trap is that two normal dice can sum to at most 6 + 6 = 12, so 13 is impossible with only two dice — which means the game is hiding a way to get a third die onto the table. Tapping a die cycles its face, and the board is not actually limited to the two dice you see at the start.

• Difficulty: Hard
• Estimated moves: 4 (cycle the left die, bring in a third die, arrange faces, tap Done)

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the target: the sum must equal 13. Note that the two visible dice currently read 5 and 6 (sum 11).
2. Tap the left die once. Its face rotates from 5 to 6. Now both dice show 6, sum = 12 — still one short of 13.
3. Tap the left die once more so its face rotates again. On this die the faces cycle 5 → 6 → 1, so the left die now shows 1.
4. Bring a third die onto the board: drag one of the dice into empty space (the game lets you add an extra die this way). Drop it in the open area above / between the two existing dice. The new die lands showing 6.
5. You should now have three dice on screen reading 1, 6, and 6. Check the sum: 1 + 6 + 6 = 13.
6. Tap the blue Done button. The game accepts the sum and advances.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a "you assumed the limit" trap. The screen shows two dice, and most players assume they can only adjust those two. But 6 + 6 = 12, which is the maximum possible sum of two standard dice, so 13 can never be reached with two dice. The instruction says "the sum of dices" (plural), not "the sum of the two dice you see" — so you are allowed to introduce another die.

Once you accept that a third die is allowed, the arithmetic is easy: you need three dice (each between 1 and 6) that add to 13. The combination shown working on screen is 1 + 6 + 6 = 13. You cycle the left die from 5 down to 1, keep the right die at 6, and the added die also shows 6.

Other combinations that sum to 13 (like 6 + 6 + 1) are mathematically equivalent, but the game accepts the arrangement with one die at 1 and two dice at 6. Trying to reach 13 by only tapping the two existing dice never works, because two dice cap out at 12.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Tapping only the two visible dice and expecting 13. Correct approach: Two dice max out at 12; you must bring a third die onto the board.
• Mistake: Forgetting that tapping a die rotates its face. Correct approach: Tap the left die to cycle it from 5 to 6 to 1.
• Mistake: Mis-reading the pips. Correct approach: A die showing one centre pip is 1; a die with two columns of three red pips is 6.
• Mistake: Tapping Done while the sum is still 11 or 12. Correct approach: Confirm 1 + 6 + 6 = 13 with three dice on screen before pressing Done.
