🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 118
• Problem Statement: Hold your smartphone horizontally with the left side down
• Difficulty: Easy

🎯 Objective

You need to actually hold your smartphone device so that the left side is down, in a horizontal (landscape) orientation.

📝 Solution Steps

1. Do not tap on anything on the game screen; first, check how you are currently holding your device.
2. Prepare to reposition your smartphone device with either the right or left hand.
3. Rotate your device slowly by 90 degrees so that the "left side edge" faces the floor, with the left side down and the right side up in a horizontal position.
4. It's not necessary if the screen orientation is locked, just hold that position for a few seconds.
5. The game will detect the device's orientation change (accelerometer/gyroscope) and automatically clear the stage.

💡 Hints

• This is a type of problem where tapping the screen does nothing. Think of using the device itself.
• The instruction "with the left side down" refers to "your smartphone," not the in-game smartphone.
• Rotate the device clockwise or anti-clockwise so that the left edge of the cellphone faces down. Hold this position for a few seconds to clear the stage.

🧠 Analysis & Points

This stage is a typical “manipulating the device itself” trick question in Brain Test. Although it is as described in the text, many players tend to first try dragging or tapping something on the screen. However, the "smartphone" mentioned here is the actual physical device the player is holding, not an in-game object. The accelerometer or gyro sensor detects the device's orientation change, triggering a clear condition. Even with the screen auto-rotate setting off, the sensor information is usually still acquired, allowing for successful completion. For such “hardware-based” problems, always consider off-screen actions (tilting, shaking, rotating, pressing volume buttons, etc.) as potential solutions that can also apply to other stages.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Continuing to tap or long press somewhere on the screen, trying to solve it as a regular puzzle.
• Trying to drag the in-game smartphone or icon to change its orientation.
• Misreading "with the left side down" as "swipe to the left" and attempting swipe or flick gestures.
• Switching the device's auto-rotate setting on/off and only operating on the system settings. In actuality, just rotating the device itself is sufficient.
• Only tilting the device slightly, not enough to be fully horizontal, causing the sensor to not detect the orientation change properly and failing to clear the stage.

🎉 Post-Clear Advice

This stage required a physical rotation of the device, a straightforward instruction yet requiring a change in perspective. Remember that such stages where you utilize your "entire smartphone", not just the screen, may appear in the future.
