Tricky Test 2 Level 107

Overview

The prompt at the top reads "Make the sum of dices 18." On screen are two large white dice and a blue "Done" button. The left die initially shows five pips, and the right die shows six pips, for a starting sum of 5 + 6 = 11. A blue "Done" button sits at the bottom. The trap is the same as the earlier dice level: two normal dice can sum to at most 6 + 6 = 12, so 18 is impossible with only two dice. You must bring a third die onto the table, and the way to do that is to copy-paste an existing die. The target combination is three sixes: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 4 (cycle the left die to 6, long-press to copy, tap PASTE, tap Done)

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the target: the dice must sum to 18. Note 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.
3. Long-press (press and hold) one of the dice. A floating PASTE button appears near the top of the screen. This means the die has been copied.
4. Tap the PASTE button. A third die appears on screen, also showing 6.
5. You now have three dice, each showing 6. Check the sum: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18.
6. If any die does not show 6, tap it to cycle its face until it does.
7. Tap the blue Done button. The game accepts the sum and advances.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle repeats the "you assumed the limit" trick. Two dice max out at 12, so 18 can never be reached by only tapping the two starting dice. The instruction says "the sum of dices" (plural), which is the hint that you may add more dice.

The game's hidden copy-paste mechanic is the same one used elsewhere in this game: long-pressing an object copies it to a clipboard, and the PASTE button that appears lets you drop a duplicate on the board. Pasting one die gives you a third die.

To reach 18 with three dice (each 1–6), the only all-equal combination that works is 6 + 6 + 6 = 18. That is why you cycle the left die up to 6 and keep the pasted die at 6. Other three-dice combos that sum to 18 are mathematically equivalent (only 6+6+6 actually works, since 6 is the max), so three sixes is the intended answer.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Tapping only the two visible dice and expecting 18. Correct approach: Two dice max out at 12; you must paste a third die.
• Mistake: Tapping the die instead of long-pressing it. Correct approach: Press and HOLD a die until the PASTE button appears, then tap PASTE.
• Mistake: Leaving one die at 5. Correct approach: Tap the left die to rotate it from 5 to 6 before pasting.
• Mistake: Tapping Done while the sum is 11 or 12. Correct approach: Confirm all three dice show 6 (6+6+6=18) before pressing Done.
