🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 246
• Problem Statement: Press the pot button to boil water
• Difficulty: Normal

🎯 Objective

Correctly set the pot, then press the button to start boiling water.

📝 Steps to Solve

1. Notice that the pot's power cord is not plugged into the outlet on the screen.
2. Long press on the pot's power cord (plug side) with your finger and drag it to the socket on the wall to connect it.
3. Ensure the cord is properly plugged into the outlet and powered on (the lamp or appearance will change).
4. Then, tap the button on the pot itself to turn it on.
5. Clear the stage once steam starts coming out of the pot, or the lamp lights up, indicating that the water has started boiling.

💡 Hints

• First, observe the pot carefully and consider why it doesn't boil even when you press the button.
• The kitchen appliance lacks a "certain something" necessary for it to work. Check the edges of the screen or the wall.
• Try dragging around the pot's cord or the area near the outlet with your finger to see if you can change their positions.
• Once correctly plugged into the outlet, press the button again.

🧠 Explanation & Points

This stage is a 'button puzzle that cannot be solved by pressing alone'. Players are often guided by the problem statement to repeatedly tap the pot button first, but of course, water won't boil if the power is off. Just like in daily life, electric pots require the "plugging into an outlet" prerequisite. Realizing this is the key point. By carefully observing the screen, you can spot hints such as the pot's cord being unplugged from the outlet or the plug being visible, and come up with the idea to connect them by dragging. This is a review problem of the thought pattern used throughout the Brain Test series: 'not only tapping but also dragging or swiping to arrange the environment.'

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Continuously tapping only the pot button from the start.
• Focusing only on tinkering with the pot, button, or lid and not paying attention to the cord or outlet.
• Failing to notice that you can drag the cord into the outlet and trying to move other objects instead.
• Forgetting to press the button after plugging in the cord, mistakenly thinking 'it's not working yet.'

🎉 Advice After Clearing

If you realize the obvious rule that things won't work no matter how much you press buttons when the power is off, this stage is easy. Remembering the idea of not only tapping but also arranging the surrounding environment through dragging will make clearing future stages smoother.
