Tricky Test 2 Level 110

๐Ÿ“ Walkthrough

Overview

The prompt at the top reads "Put 2 pool balls into holes at the same time." The screen shows a green pool table with wooden rails and corner/side pockets, a red object ball and a white cue ball on the felt, and a cue stick resting near the bottom. A normal pool shot only sends one ball at a time, so the "at the same time" phrasing is the hint that you are not meant to play a real pool shot. The red X and RETRY button that appear after a normal shot confirm that cueing the balls does not work. The trick is to forget the cue entirely and drag both balls directly into two pockets, using two fingers at once.

  • Difficulty: Regular
  • Estimated moves: 1 (two-finger drag)

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Read the prompt: you must get two pool balls into holes at the same time.
  2. Do NOT use the cue stick to shoot. Trying to pot one ball with a normal shot fails and shows a red X with a RETRY button.
  3. Place two fingers on the table โ€” one on the red ball and one on the white ball.
  4. At the same time, drag each finger toward a different pocket (for example, drag the red ball to one corner pocket and the white ball to another pocket).
  5. Release both balls into the pockets simultaneously. Because you are moving both at once, they go into the holes at the same time.
  6. The level completes once both balls are pocketed together.

Strategy & Reasoning

The phrase "at the same time" is the entire puzzle. In real pool, one cue strike can only send one ball along one path, so potting two balls truly simultaneously with a cue is impossible. The game therefore expects you to bypass the physics altogether and move the balls by hand.

Using two fingers to drag one ball each is the only way to put two balls into two holes at literally the same instant. The cue stick is a red herring that makes you think you must line up a shot; the red X after a failed shot reinforces that the normal approach is wrong.

Trying to shoot the white ball so it knocks the red ball into a pocket (a normal combination shot) still only puts one ball in at a time and fails the "at the same time" requirement. Only the two-finger drag satisfies the simultaneous condition.

Tips & Common Mistakes

  • Mistake: Aiming the cue stick and shooting like normal pool. Correct approach: Skip the cue; drag the balls directly with your fingers.
  • Mistake: Dragging one ball, then the other. Correct approach: Use two fingers and move both balls into pockets simultaneously.
  • Mistake: Tapping RETRY after the red X and trying the shot again. Correct approach: The cue approach never works; switch to the two-finger drag.
  • Mistake: Dragging both balls into the same pocket. Correct approach: Send each ball to a different pocket at the same time.
