Brain Test Level 240 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 240★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 240 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 240:** Press the buttons in the right order: first the largest, then the smallest, then the middle
## Answer
Measure by AREA, not number value. The physically largest button on screen, then the smallest, then the medium-sized one.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Buttons show numbers, but 'largest' refers to the physical button SIZE, not the number displayed. Press the biggest button first, smallest second, medium third — ignoring the numbers on them.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 240:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Judge by physical button SIZE on screen, not the numbers displayed on them.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Attribute confusion between size and value. Numbers on buttons prime you to think in numeric terms, but the question says 'largest/smallest' referring to physical dimensions. Brain Test deliberately creates ambiguity between visual and numeric properties.
## 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 240:
- Tapping the most obvious on-screen element without reading the full question first.
- Ignoring the question text as a potential interactive element — in Brain Test, words on screen can often be dragged, tapped, or used as part of the solution.
- Giving up too quickly instead of experimenting with device gestures like tilting, shaking, or using multiple fingers.
Tips
- The question text and UI elements are part of the puzzle — don't treat them as decoration.
- Look at negative space, shadows, and object arrangements for hidden patterns.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 240 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
