Brain Test Level 179 Walkthrough & Answer

## Question **Brain Test Level 179:** Add something to make this equation true: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 555 ## Answer Add the number 5 to the first 5 to make 55. So 55 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 555... wait, that's 70. Actually, add a line to one + sign to make it a 4: 5 + 5 + 545 = 555. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough The equation 5+5+5+5=555 seems impossible. The trick is to modify one element. Drag or draw a line on one of the plus signs to turn it into a digit, or add a '5' to an existing number. The exact solution depends on the game version, but typically you modify a + sign to create a larger number. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 179: 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 plus signs — can you add a line to change one into a different symbol or digit? 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Operator fixation treats +, -, and = as immutable. You try different mathematical operations but never consider physically altering the symbols. In Brain Test's world, operators are just shapes made of lines, and lines can be added or removed. ## Why This Level Is Tricky At this difficulty, Brain Test expects multi-step thinking. Break the puzzle into parts: what does the question ask, what elements are on screen, and what interactions haven't you tried yet? Combine objects, drag text, or use multiple fingers simultaneously. Systematic experimentation beats random tapping. 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 179: - 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.
