Tricky Test 2 Level 4

Overview

This level is a "use the device itself" puzzle rather than an on-screen tap puzzle. The instruction at the top reads "Stop Moai's tears." and in the center sits a low-poly stone Moai head (the Easter Island statue) with two streams of blue tears pouring straight down from its eyes all the way to the grass at its base. There are no buttons, no options, no levers, and no objects to drag. The trick is that the game is asking you to physically cover the statue's eyes with your fingers on the touchscreen — the same way you would cover a real crying person's eyes to shield them — and the game detects the touch positions over the eyes and stops the tear animation.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2 finger holds

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read "Stop Moai's tears." Look at the two vertical blue tear streams running down the statue's face from under its eye sockets.
2. There is nothing to tap or drag. Place one finger directly over Moai's left eye (your right) on the screen, pressing and holding.
3. At the same time, place a second finger directly over Moai's right eye (your left), pressing and holding. You need two fingers at once, one on each eye.
4. Keep both fingers held over the eyes. The moment the game registers both eye positions at the same time, the blue tear streams stop flowing and the statue's face calms.
5. The success animation plays: a pair of peachy cartoon hands appears on screen cupped over the Moai's eyes, then slides to the sides of the face, and the level completes. You can lift your fingers after the tears have stopped.

Strategy & Reasoning

The reason this works is that Tricky Test 2 repeatedly tests whether you will touch the screen with more than one finger, or physically cover parts of the image. The Moai has no interactive parts: the eyes are not buttons, the tears are not draggable, and tapping the statue's head does nothing. The only thing that changes the state of the tears is placing two touch points exactly where the eyes are.

The trap players fall into is trying to solve it with one finger. They tap the tears, tap the eyes, drag a tear upward, or try to tilt the phone — none of that registers. The game specifically requires two simultaneous touches, one on each eye, mimicking the real-world gesture of wiping or shielding someone's eyes. If you cover only one eye, only one tear stream stops (or neither stops); you must cover both at the same moment.

The on-screen cartoon hands that appear after success are the game's way of showing the gesture you just performed — two hands cupped over the eyes. That is the visual confirmation that you used the right real-world action.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Common mistake: Tapping or dragging the tears with one finger. The tears are not interactive; only covering the eye sockets with two fingers works.
• Common mistake: Covering only one eye. You need two fingers at once, one on each eye socket; a single hand or a single finger will not trigger the success.
• Common mistake: Pressing on the nose or mouth instead of the eyes. The touch must land on the two eye positions high on the face, where the tear streams begin.
• Tip: Use your index fingers, one from each hand, so you can hold both positions steadily.
• Tip: If the tears keep flowing, nudge your fingers a little higher to land exactly on the eye sockets, not on the cheeks below.
