🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 356
• Problem Statement: Swipe an umbrella over the sun to break it
• Difficulty: normal

🎯 Objective

Use an umbrella to 'break' the sun on the screen.

📝 Steps to Solve

1. Check the position of the sun seen near the center of the screen.
2. Look for the 'umbrella' icon (closed or opened umbrella image) placed somewhere on the screen.
3. Press and hold the umbrella with one finger, drag (swipe) it, and move it over the sun.
4. Align the tip of the umbrella (the pointed part) to overlap with the center of the sun.
5. When the umbrella overlaps with the sun, an effect of the sun 'breaking' will occur, clearing the stage.

💡 Hints

• First, focus on objects other than the sun and look for something usable as a tool.
• Simply tapping the sun does nothing. You need to 'overlay' another item.
• Imagine the term 'sunshade' and try swiping the umbrella toward the sun...?
• There's no need to wave or repeatedly tap the umbrella, just make sure it overlays the sun correctly.

🧠 Explanation & Points

This stage is based on wordplay and a shift in perspective. The problem statement almost gives away the answer by saying 'swipe an umbrella over the sun to break it', and the key is whether players can think of performing that exact operation. Tapping or swiping the sun directly does nothing, so attention needs to be paid to other items on the screen, especially the 'umbrella'. In Brain Test, there's often a pattern of producing unexpected results by operations like 'overlaying' or 'attaching', and this problem is an example of that. By overlaying the umbrella on the sun, it conveys an expression as if shading the sun's light and breaking it with a parasol, creating a comical solution that deviates slightly from normal logic. Reading the text carefully and acting accordingly is crucial for this level.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Repeatedly tapping/holding the sun in an attempt to break it.
• Swiping the sun left, right, up, or down to try and move it by dragging.
• Trying to open or close the umbrella in rapid succession, missing the idea of overlaying it on the sun.
• Trying other gimmicks used in different stages like shaking the device.
• Overlaying other objects (clouds or background) on the sun and missing the correct umbrella.

🎉 Advice After Clearing

After the comedic depiction of the sun breaking, the level is cleared. In subsequent stages, the problem statement might be the hint or even the answer, so developing a habit of reading the text well before attempting operations will help you progress smoothly.
