Brain Test Level 53 Walkthrough: Make the Bus Smaller to Pass Through
Complete walk-through, step-by-step guide, common mistakes
🧩 Level Information
- Level Number: 53
- Problem: Use a pinching gesture with two fingers to make the bus smaller so it can pass through
- Difficulty: Normal
🎯 Objective
Make the bus, which is too big to pass through, smaller so it can go through the path.
📝 How to Solve
- Check the large bus near the center of the screen.
- Notice that the bus is too big for the path and cannot pass through as it is.
- Place two fingers on the bus, just like when shrinking a photo on a smartphone.
- Perform a pinching gesture by slowly moving the two fingers placed on the bus inward (towards the center).
- Repeat the pinching gesture several times until the bus becomes small enough.
- Once the bus is small enough, drag it onto the path to pass through.
- If the bus passes through the path without any issues, you have cleared the stage.
💡 Hints
- The bus won't pass by dragging as it is too large; consider if you can change its size.
- Remember the gestures for zooming in and out of photos and maps on smartphones.
- Place two fingers on the bus and try the pinching gesture inward.
🧠 Analysis & Points
This stage tests whether you're aware of the game-specific rule that allows you to change the 'size' of objects on the screen. Players initially try to drag the bus directly to the path, but it's too big and won't fit, so they need to find another solution. The key is whether you can recall the basic smartphone gestures of pinch-in and pinch-out. Realizing that you can shrink the bus like an image quickly leads to a solution. It's an intuitive yet device-operation-aware type of problem, designed to encourage shifting from merely 'moving' to 'changing shape and size' in your thinking.
🔍 Common Mistakes
- Trying to force the bus through by dragging it sideways as it is.
- Attempting to widen the path by swiping or dragging the path or wall areas instead of the bus.
- Misunderstanding and trying to tap the bus multiple times, thinking it will change size or jump.
- Mistakenly performing a pinch-out (outward spreading gesture), making the bus larger.
- Pinching somewhere on the screen but not on the bus, resulting in no response and giving up.
🎉 Advice After Clearing
Seeing the bus become small and smoothly pass through the path is humorous, possibly making you laugh. By understanding that 'gestures for zooming in and out are solutions to puzzles,' you can now suspect size changes in objects in future levels, deepening your understanding of the game's rules. Remembering such meta-thinking makes it easier to solve the tricky problems later on.
