Level 236★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Before scrolling: Level 236 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 236:** Move only 2 cups to reverse the order
## Answer
Pour the contents of cup 2 into cup 5, and cup 4 into cup 1. Moving the CONTENTS counts as moving the cup's identity.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Cups are alternating full-empty-full-empty. To reverse: pour the liquid from a full cup into an empty one. You're moving the contents (the cup's state), not the physical cup. Two pours change the pattern completely.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 236:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Pour contents between cups rather than moving the cups themselves — 2 pours reverse the pattern.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Physical vs. state manipulation. 'Move a cup' implies picking it up, but pouring its contents achieves the same result with fewer constraints. Brain Test rewards you for recognizing that the LIQUID is what matters, not the container.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
For difficulty 4, expand your toolkit: try shaking the device, using the volume rocker, covering the camera, or pressing the home button area. Also try dragging seemingly static elements like the level number, score display, or hint button. Brain Test treats everything on screen as a potential puzzle piece at this tier. 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 236:
- 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.
Tips
- Look at negative space, shadows, and object arrangements for hidden patterns.
- The question text and UI elements are part of the puzzle — don't treat them as decoration.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 236 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
