Tricky Test 2 Level 40

Overview

This level shows a hanging ceiling lamp that is turned on (glowing yellow), with an arrow on the right side of the screen. The instruction reads "Turn off the lamp again." The trick is that the light switch is not visible on the initial screen — you must swipe/drag the screen to the right to reveal the wall-mounted light switch, then tap it to turn off the lamp.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2 gestures

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the instruction: "Turn off the lamp again."
2. Notice the hanging lamp is lit (yellow glow) and there is an arrow on the right side suggesting you can move the screen.
3. Swipe or drag the screen to the right to pan the view.
4. A wall-mounted light switch will be revealed on the right side.
5. Tap the light switch to toggle the lamp off. The lamp's glow disappears.
6. The level completes once the lamp is off.

Strategy & Reasoning

The lamp is clearly lit, but there is no obvious switch on the screen. The arrow on the right hints that the scene can be panned. By swiping the screen to the right, you reveal the wall light switch that was off-screen. Tapping the switch turns off the lamp. The puzzle rewards exploring off-screen UI elements rather than tapping the lamp itself. The word "again" in the instruction suggests this is a recurring mechanic where the switch is hidden off to the side.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: tapping the lamp directly trying to turn it off. Correct: the switch is hidden off-screen to the right.
• Mistake: ignoring the arrow hint. Correct: the arrow tells you to swipe/pan the screen.
• Mistake: looking for a switch on the current view. Correct: drag the screen rightward to reveal the wall switch, then tap it.
• Mistake: assuming the lamp itself is interactive. Correct: the control is a separate switch revealed by panning.

The reason this works is that the light switch is not on the initial screen — it is hidden off to the side. The arrow on the right hints that the view can be panned. Swiping right reveals the wall switch, and tapping it turns off the lamp. Trying to tap the lamp itself does nothing; the control is a separate, off-screen element. The word "again" signals this is a recurring panning mechanic.

The key takeaway is that the light switch is hidden off-screen to the right. The arrow hints at panning; swiping right reveals the wall switch, and tapping it turns off the lamp. Tapping the lamp itself does nothing. The word "again" signals this is a recurring panning mechanic.

In summary, swipe the screen to the right to reveal the wall light switch, then tap it to turn off the lamp. Tapping the lamp itself does nothing; the control is off-screen to the right. The arrow on the right hints at the panning gesture.
