Level 124★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Before scrolling: Level 124 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles has a one-step solution, but the step is buried under a layer of misdirection. If you want a nudge instead of the full answer, the progressive hints further down go from gentle to explicit.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 124:** Make a 6 out of three matches
## Answer
Arrange the three matchsticks to form the Roman numeral VI (which equals 6).
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Don't try to form the digit '6' — you can't do it with only three matches. Instead, think Roman numerals. Place one match as V and one as I to make VI = 6.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 124:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Think Roman numerals: V + I = VI = 6. Arrange matches into a V shape and one vertical line.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Numeric representation fixation keeps you thinking in Arabic numerals (0-9). The digit 6 requires curves, which matchsticks can't make. Switching to Roman numerals is the creative leap — it requires you to change your number system entirely.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Difficulty 3 is where Brain Test gets genuinely creative. These levels feel unfair the first time but brilliantly clever once you see the answer. Give yourself permission to try wild ideas — shake your phone, pinch to zoom, or tap the question text. The sillier your attempt, the closer you might be. Mid-game levels (51-150) start combining multiple trick types in one puzzle. You might need both wordplay and physical interaction to solve a single level. If one approach fails, switch to a completely different trick category.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 124:
- Reading the question too fast and missing a critical word like 'not', 'biggest', or 'smallest'.
- Assuming numbers on screen represent their face value when they might be Roman numerals, binary, or visual patterns.
- Skipping the hint system entirely — hints in Brain Test are progressive and often nudge without spoiling.
Tips
- Don't trust your first arithmetic instinct — Brain Test loves number misdirection.
- Check if the question is about numerical value or visual appearance of digits.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 124 has a difficulty rating of 3/5 — it challenges your assumptions.
