Brain Test Level 178 Walkthrough & Answer

Level 178
Guide by LevelWalks

When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 178 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.

## Question **Brain Test Level 178:** Count the hair on the bald man's head ## Answer The answer is 0. He's bald. Tap 0. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough A bald man's head is shown. Players scrutinize it looking for a single hair or a trick. There is none — he's bald, so the answer is genuinely 0. Tap zero. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 178: 1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection. 2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself. 3. He's completely bald — the answer is 0 with no trick involved. 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Trick-expectation paradox hits hard at this point in the game. After 170+ levels of misdirection, you EXPECT a trick even when there isn't one. Brain Test occasionally uses straightforward questions to exploit your hypervigilance. The absence of a trick becomes the trick. ## Why This Level Is Tricky You're in the advanced zone now. These levels frustrate even veteran Brain Test players, so getting stuck is completely normal. The key insight for difficulty 4 is that the answer often involves doing something the game hasn't explicitly asked you to do. Think about what's possible, not just what's prompted. 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 178: - Overthinking a simple puzzle — sometimes the answer is literally what the question says, with no trick at all. - Not trying to drag or resize on-screen elements, including text, images, and answer options. - Missing that Brain Test sometimes reuses a trick from an earlier level with a slight variation.

Tips

  • Check if the question is about numerical value or visual appearance of digits.
  • Consider different number systems: Roman numerals, binary, or bases other than 10.
  • Remember: Brain Test Level 178 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
