Tricky Test 2 Level 84

Overview

• Difficulty: Hard
• Estimated moves: 1

A white cartoon ghost floats in the center of a dark screen. A countdown timer starts at 5 seconds (displayed as 5'00). The prompt reads "Hold the screen and avoid the ghost for 5 seconds." If you press a single finger on the screen, the ghost chases that finger; if it touches your finger you fail. The trick is to use two fingers so the ghost cannot decide which one to chase.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Place two fingers on the screen at the same time, on opposite sides away from the ghost.
2. Keep both fingers held down. The ghost moves around trying to reach your touch points but is confused by having two targets.
3. Hold steady while the countdown runs from 5 seconds down to 0.
4. As long as the ghost does not touch either finger, the timer reaches 0'00 and the level completes.

Strategy & Reasoning

With a single finger, the ghost homes in on that one touch point and inevitably catches you within the five seconds. With two simultaneous touch points, the ghost's targeting logic cannot lock onto a single finger and wanders between them, rarely reaching either one. This lets you survive the full five seconds. The ghost moves toward your touches, but it is too slow and indecisive to cover both fingers at once. The key is that you must hold two fingers the entire time; lifting one turns it back into a single-finger chase.

The ghost is a simple white cartoon blob with two black oval eyes and a wavy bottom edge. The countdown timer at the top starts at 5 seconds and ticks down. By spreading two fingers far apart on opposite sides of the screen, the ghost can only drift toward one at a time and never closes the gap on both. Keep both fingers steady until the timer reaches zero. If the ghost touches either finger, you fail and lose a heart. The completion occurs when the countdown runs out without contact. Do not move your fingers chasing the ghost; stay put and let the two-finger trick do the work.

Place your left thumb on the left side and right thumb on the right side, as far apart as comfortable. The ghost will hover near the center and drift toward whichever finger is closest, but it cannot reach both. Keep your fingers stationary. The timer is strict: if the ghost grazes a finger at any point in the five seconds, you restart. Two fingers are the minimum; three or four also works but is unnecessary. The key is simultaneous, widely separated touch points.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Holding only one finger. The ghost will catch it and you lose.
• Putting both fingers close together. Spread them apart so the ghost cannot cover both at once.
• Lifting a finger before the timer ends. You must keep both down until the countdown reaches zero.
• Letting the ghost touch your finger. Keep your fingers on empty screen areas the ghost is not currently over.
