Brain Test Level 201 Walkthrough & Answer

## Question **Brain Test Level 201:** Complete the magic square so every row and column sums to 15 ## Answer Use numbers 1-9 once each. Center must be 5. The arrangement: 2,7,6 / 9,5,1 / 4,3,8. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough A 3x3 magic square needs numbers 1-9 with every row, column, and diagonal summing to 15. The center is always 5. Even numbers go in corners, odd numbers on edges. Drag the numbers into position. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 201: 1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection. 2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself. 3. Center = 5. Corners are even numbers (2,4,6,8). Edges are odd (1,3,7,9). Every line must total 15. 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Combinatorial complexity overwhelms mental math. With 9! possible arrangements, trial and error is hopeless. The puzzle requires mathematical strategy — knowing the center must be 5 and applying sum constraints reduces the possibilities dramatically. Brain Test uses this as a genuine math challenge at higher difficulty levels. ## Why This Level Is Tricky Difficulty 4 puzzles in Brain Test often involve meta-awareness — the solution might require interacting with your phone's hardware (volume buttons, tilt sensor) or manipulating the game's UI elements. The puzzle boundary extends beyond the screen content to include the device itself. 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 201: - Applying real-world logic to a puzzle that rewards absurd lateral thinking. - Overlooking small UI elements like the level counter, hint button, or settings icon, which sometimes play a role in the solution. - Assuming the puzzle has only one interactive element when multiple objects might need to be combined. ## About Brain Test Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles is a free mobile puzzle game developed by Unico Studio.
