Tricky Test 2 Level 65

Overview

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

The screen shows a round, red-framed clock face that is visibly broken. The clock has a short dark hour hand pointing to roughly 9 o'clock and a long red second hand, but it is missing its minute hand. Above the clock, the instruction reads "Uh-oh! My clock is broken. Can you give me a hand?" The wordplay in "give me a hand" is the key: the game is asking you to literally supply a clock hand. The lever-like dial on the left and the other decorations are distractions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the instruction sentence at the top: "Uh-oh! ! My clock is broken."
2. Press and hold your finger on the exclamation mark "!" at the end of the word "Uh-oh" in the text.
3. Drag that "!" down from the sentence and drop it onto the center pivot of the clock face.
4. The exclamation mark snaps into place as a new clock hand pointing straight up (to 12 o'clock), completing the clock.
5. The level completes automatically once the "!" is placed at the clock's center.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a text-based hidden-object puzzle. The game says "give me a hand" and literally gives you a hand-shaped object in the form of the exclamation mark. An exclamation mark is a vertical line with a small dot beneath it, which looks exactly like a clock hand pointing upward. The trick is realizing that the object you need is written into the question itself, not drawn anywhere on the clock. Most players waste time tapping the clock hands, the dots on the dial, or the red bezel, but none of those do anything. Only dragging the "!" out of the sentence works. The existing hour and second hands are already fine; only the missing minute hand must be supplied.

The clock face itself is divided into two shaded halves with four small dots marking the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. The dark short hand points to 9 and the red second hand is angled across the face, but neither is removable. The red octagonal frame is purely decorative. The lever-like dial in the corner and the gift box are distractions used throughout the game. Once the "!" is dropped on the center pivot, it locks in as a vertical hand to 12 o'clock and the level finishes.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Tapping the clock face or existing hands. The clock's own hands cannot be moved or rotated; they are decorative.
• Looking for a hidden hand in the artwork. There is no spare clock hand drawn anywhere; the missing hand is the punctuation mark in the title.
• Dragging the wrong symbol. Make sure you grab the exclamation mark "!" specifically (the vertical bar with the dot), not the letters around it.
• Dropping it off-center. The "!" must land on the clock's central pivot point to register as a hand.
