Tricky Test 2 Level 104

Overview

The prompt at the top reads "Make both of them able to eat donuts." In the upper half of the screen there is one real pink-frosted donut sitting inside a solid brown circle on the left, and an empty dashed circle on the right (an empty plate). In the lower half stand two pixel-art people: a blonde woman in a green shirt on the left, and a brown-haired man in a blue shirt on the right. There is only one donut for two people, so you cannot simply hand the single donut to both of them. The hidden trick is that you can copy-paste the donut, just like copying an object on a phone, to produce a second identical donut.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 3 (long-press the donut, tap PASTE, done)

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the layout: one real donut in the solid circle on the left, one empty dashed circle on the right, and two people waiting below.
2. Long-press (press and hold your finger on) the pink donut on the left. After a moment a floating PASTE button appears near the top-right of the play area (next to the dashed circle). This means the donut has been copied.
3. Tap the PASTE button. A second identical pink donut appears inside the empty dashed circle on the right.
4. Now there are two donuts — one above each person. Both people now have a donut to eat.
5. The level completes automatically once both donuts are on screen (one in each circle).

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle sets up a classic "one item, two people" problem. You cannot drag the single donut to both people, and there is no way to split a donut. The naive player drags the donut onto one person, then wonders why the other person still has nothing.

The "tricky" twist is that the game behaves like a phone's copy-paste clipboard: long-pressing the donut copies it to a clipboard, and the PASTE button that pops up lets you place an unlimited number of copies. Pasting one copy fills the empty dashed circle, giving both people their own donut.

The dashed circle on the right is the hint: it is drawn as an empty "slot" waiting for a second donut, and the PASTE button only appears after you long-press the original donut. Trying to drag the original donut over to the right circle just moves it and leaves the left person empty, which fails.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Dragging the single donut onto one person or into the empty circle. Correct approach: Keep the original donut where it is; copy it instead.
• Mistake: Tapping the donut instead of long-pressing it. Correct approach: Press and HOLD on the donut until the PASTE button appears.
• Mistake: Pasting into the wrong spot. Correct approach: Tap PASTE and the copy fills the dashed circle automatically.
• Mistake: Thinking you need to feed the people directly. Correct approach: The goal is to have a donut available for each of the two circles; the people eat on their own once both donuts exist.
