Tricky Test 2 Level 48

Overview

The riddle reads: "Which city has 3/7 of a chicken, 2/3 of a cat and half of a goat?" Six answer buttons are offered: London, Rome, Taipei, Chicago, Berlin, Paris. This is a letter-fraction puzzle: take the first 3 letters of CHICKEN, the first 2 letters of CAT, and half (the first 2 letters) of GOAT, then concatenate them. CHI + CA + GO = CHICAGO. You must tap the Chicago button.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1 tap

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the riddle: "Which city has 3/7 of a chicken, 2/3 of a cat and half of a goat?"
2. Break it down word by word.
3. "3/7 of a chicken": the word CHICKEN has 7 letters. Take the first 3 letters: C-H-I = "CHI".
4. "2/3 of a cat": the word CAT has 3 letters. Take the first 2 letters: C-A = "CA".
5. "Half of a goat": the word GOAT has 4 letters. Half is the first 2 letters: G-O = "GO".
6. Concatenate the three fragments: CHI + CA + GO = "CHICAGO".
7. Look at the six blue answer buttons on screen. Tap the "Chicago" button (it is in the middle row on the right side).
8. The success animation appears, highlighting the letters C-H-I from CHICKEN, C-A from CAT, and G-O from GOAT, spelling out "Chi-ca-go!" The level clears.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a classic charades-style word puzzle dressed as a math question. The fractions 3/7, 2/3, and 1/2 are not arithmetic ratios; they tell you how many leading letters to take from each animal word. The animal names are deliberately chosen so that their letter fragments merge into a real city name. CHICKEN (7 letters) -> first 3 = CHI. CAT (3 letters) -> first 2 = CA. GOAT (4 letters) -> first 2 = GO. The result is CHICAGO. None of the other cities can be assembled this way: London, Rome, Taipei, Berlin, and Paris do not appear as a concatenation of these animal fragments. The only tricky part is resisting the urge to think of real-world geography or population statistics; this is purely a letter game. The success screen explicitly underlines the three fragments to confirm the answer.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Trying to solve it as a real-world trivia question (largest city, oldest city, etc.). Correct approach: treat it as a letter puzzle; the fractions tell you how many letters to take.
• Mistake: Taking the last 3/2 letters instead of the first. Correct approach: fractions of a word mean the leading letters from the start (C-HI, C-A, G-O), not the tail.
• Mistake: Answering Paris or Rome because they are well-known European cities. Correct approach: only Chicago is formed by CHI+CA+GO.
• Mistake: Misspelling or missing the Chicago button. Correct approach: it is the right-hand button in the middle row of six.

Additional Notes

The riddle is one of the most famous wordplay puzzles in Tricky Test 2 because it dresses up a simple letter-game as if it were a geography trivia question. The six city buttons are deliberately chosen so that several of them feel plausible (Rome, Paris, London) and distract you from the letter math. The success animation visually circles the three letter fragments to confirm that CHI from CHICKEN, CA from CAT, and GO from GOAT combine into CHICAGO. Once you see the pattern, the answer is immediate, but on first sight most players waste time thinking about which city has the most chickens or cats. Remember: fractions attached to animal names tell you how many leading letters to slice off, not how to divide the animals themselves.
