Tricky Test 2 Level 93

Overview

The screen asks "Which toast is thicker?" against a dark background. Two slices of bread are shown side by side. Toast A on the left has a wide, thick-looking orange crust on its right edge. Toast B on the right has a noticeably narrower orange crust. Below each toast is a circular button labelled A and B respectively. At a glance, toast A looks thicker because its crust appears wider, but this is an optical illusion designed to mislead you. The only way to judge the true thickness is to stop eyeballing the two separated slices and physically overlap them so you can compare them directly.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the question "Which toast is thicker?" and look at the two slices. Notice that toast A appears to have a thicker orange crust than toast B, which would make A look thicker.
2. Do not tap A yet. The visual difference is misleading, so comparing them side by side will give the wrong answer.
3. Press and hold toast A (or toast B) and drag it toward the other slice so that the two toasts overlap directly on top of each other.
4. As the two slices overlap, line them up so their white bread areas and crusts coincide. You will see that the two slices actually match up once they are on top of one another; the apparent difference in crust width was only an illusion caused by viewing them side by side.
5. With the slices overlapped, the level recognises that you have compared them properly and clears. If the game requires a final choice, select whichever slice the overlapped comparison reveals as the thicker one; the side-by-side view is not trustworthy.

In the recorded walkthrough, two fingers pinch the two toasts together until they overlap in the centre of the screen, forming a single combined slice, after which the puzzle completes.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a size-comparison optical illusion. The human eye judges thickness from the width of the coloured crust, but the two slices are drawn so that their apparent crust widths differ when separated even though their actual bread-and-crust profiles are the same. Tricky Test 2 loves these "which is bigger/thicker/longer" illusions, and the standard solution is always to drag the two objects on top of each other rather than guess from the side-by-side view.

Tapping A straight away is the trap: it looks thicker, so most players tap A and get it wrong (losing a heart). Tapping B is also a guess. The only reliable method is the direct overlap, which removes the illusion.

Trying to use a ruler or estimate by eye will not work because the illusion is specifically constructed to fool direct observation. Physically superimposing the two slices is the intended "measure".

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Tapping toast A because it looks like it has the thicker crust. Correct approach: The wide crust is an illusion; overlap the slices first.
• Mistake: Trying to estimate the thickness by eye from the side-by-side view. Correct approach: Drag one toast on top of the other and line them up to compare directly.
• Mistake: Giving up and randomly tapping A or B. Correct approach: The overlap itself is the solution; let the comparison decide.
• Mistake: Dragging the toasts apart instead of together. Correct approach: Bring them together (pinch/overlay), not separate them.
