🧠 Explanation & Key Points

This level is a trick question that tests the player's 'assumptions.' Many people rush to the conclusion that it means 'enter the answer 27' from the words "formula" and "27." However, the question itself is the 'string to be entered as the answer.' In Brain Test, it is important not to take the instructions at face value, but to think about "what happens if you read it literally?" This stage is a typical 'trap' pattern, requiring not calculation but attention and a change of perspective.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Only entering the number '27.'
• Trying to find a real formula that equals 27 using mental or manual calculation.
• Jumping to conclusions without reading the entire question and just focusing on keywords like 'formula' or '27.'
• Not realizing it's a problem that requires entering a phrase and trying different numbers repeatedly.

🎉 Advice After Clearing

Realizing that you can clear the stage by entering the phrase 'It's just a formula, so enter 27' itself reaffirms the importance of reading the question carefully. In future levels, the answer may be hidden in the instructions, or the solution may require an approach contrary to common sense. It's helpful to develop the habit of pausing and reading instead of solving intuitively, to progress smoothly. In the next stage, keep your mindset flexible and free from preconceptions.
