Tricky Test 2 Level 108

Overview

The prompt at the top reads "Make a yummy soup to please the chef." The screen shows a salt/pepper shaker on the left, a pixel-art chef in the middle wearing a white hat, a ladle on the right, and a blue cooking pot sitting on a flaming stove at the bottom. A naive reading says: drag the salt and the ladle into the pot to make soup. But there are no actual ingredients (vegetables, meat, water) anywhere on screen, so that approach can never produce soup. The dark, absurd twist is that the "yummy soup" is the chef himself: you drag the chef into the pot, then press EAT, and the chef declares it yummy.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2 (drag the chef into the pot, tap EAT)

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the available objects: a salt shaker, the chef, a ladle, and an empty pot on a fire.
2. Ignore the salt shaker and the ladle — dragging them into the pot does not make a real soup, and there are no other ingredients.
3. Press and hold on the chef and drag him down into the blue pot on the stove. As you drag him, a speech bubble with "??" appears above his head.
4. Drop the chef into the pot. He settles in behind the pot rim, and a blue EAT button appears across the middle of the pot.
5. Tap the blue EAT button.
6. A yellow speech bubble pops up from the chef saying "Yummy!" — this confirms the soup (the chef) is to his liking, and the level completes.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle sets up a normal cooking expectation: season the pot, use the ladle, serve the chef. But the only "food-like" object on the screen that can actually go in the pot and satisfy the chef is the chef himself. There are no vegetables, no meat, no water — so any attempt to cook with the salt shaker and ladle alone is a dead end.

The trick is the absurd inversion: to "please the chef", you cook the chef. Once the chef is in the pot and you press EAT, the chef's own "Yummy!" reaction confirms this is the intended dark-humor answer.

Trying to drag the salt shaker, the ladle, or both into the pot fails, because none of those is an ingredient the chef would call "yummy". The chef is the only object that, when dropped into the pot, triggers the EAT button and the success reaction.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Dragging the salt shaker and ladle into the pot. Correct approach: There are no real ingredients; the chef himself is the soup.
• Mistake: Dragging the chef only partway and letting go. Correct approach: Drop him fully into the pot until the EAT button appears.
• Mistake: Tapping EAT before the chef is in the pot. Correct approach: Wait for the EAT button to appear, then tap it.
• Mistake: Looking for hidden ingredients elsewhere on screen. Correct approach: There are none; the solution is the absurd chef-in-the-pot gag.
