Tricky Test 2 Level 17

Overview

This level is a short memory-and-sequence tap challenge. The instruction at the top reads "Tap in the following order." and a banner below it lists the required order: "20, 14, 9, 43, 45, 10." Six orange hexagonal buttons with numbers on them are scattered around the screen in a hexagonal arrangement: 43 at top-left, 10 at top-right, 9 in the center, 20 on the left, 45 on the right, and 14 at the bottom. Your job is to tap the buttons one at a time, strictly in the order shown in the banner. Tapping the wrong button costs a heart.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 6 taps

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the order banner: "20, 14, 9, 43, 45, 10."
2. Locate the button labeled 20 (it is on the left side of the hexagon layout). Tap it first. It turns grey once tapped.
3. Next locate 14 (at the bottom of the layout). Tap it. It turns grey.
4. Next locate 9 (in the center). Tap it. It turns grey.
5. Next locate 43 (top-left). Tap it. It turns grey.
6. Next locate 45 (right side). Tap it. It turns grey.
7. Finally locate 10 (top-right). Tap it. It turns grey.
8. Once all six buttons have turned grey in the correct sequence, the level completes and the success animation plays.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a straightforward follow-the-list puzzle. The order banner stays on screen the whole time, so you do not need to memorize it; you just need to visually hunt for each number among the scattered hexagons and tap it in sequence. The buttons are deliberately not in the same positions as the list, so you cannot just tap left-to-right.

The main challenge is avoiding the wrong button. Because the hexagons are close together, it is easy to tap 43 when you meant 45, or 10 when you meant 43. If you tap a wrong number, the game deducts a heart and you can continue. After each correct tap, the button greys out, so you can see which ones remain.

There is no hidden trick here: no number is hidden, no button moves, and the list does not disappear. Just follow the banner order.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Common mistake: Tapping buttons in the order they appear spatially (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) instead of the listed order.
• Common mistake: Tapping the wrong nearby button because the hexagons are small. Pause and confirm the number before each tap.
• Common mistake: Forgetting where you are in the sequence after a wrong tap. Look at which buttons have already greyed out to know your progress.
• Tip: After each tap, check the greyed buttons; the next number to find is whichever one from the list is still orange.
• Tip: The order is 20 → 14 → 9 → 43 → 45 → 10; say it in your head as you hunt.
