Brain Test Level 174 Walkthrough & Answer

## Question **Brain Test Level 174:** What's wrong with this clock? ## Answer The number 6 is upside down — it should read '6' but displays '9' because of poor design. Tap it. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough A clock face shows all numbers correctly except one. The 6 position shows a 9 (or vice versa). These digits are rotationally ambiguous. Tap the incorrect number. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 174: 1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection. 2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself. 3. Look at the 6 and 9 positions on the clock — one of them is upside down. Tap the wrong one. 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Familiarity blindness means you've seen clocks thousands of times and your brain auto-fills the correct numbers without actually reading them. You have to slow down and examine each number individually to catch the 6/9 swap. ## Why This Level Is Tricky Mid-difficulty Brain Test levels exploit cognitive biases — anchoring, framing effects, and confirmation bias all play a role. The puzzle is engineered so your first instinct leads you astray. Recognizing which bias the level targets is half the battle. Late-game levels (151-300) frequently require device interaction — tilting your phone, using multiple fingers, shaking the device, or manipulating screen elements outside the puzzle area. Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions. ## Common Mistakes Players frequently make these errors on Level 174: - 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.
