Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 249:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.

3. Find the 10th hidden star behind UI elements or by scrolling the game area.

## Why It's Tricky
Counting satisfaction stops you at 9 when you've found all visible stars. Your brain confirms '9 is close to 10, maybe I miscounted' rather than actively searching for the hidden one. Brain Test requires exhaustive searching, not satisficing.

Maximum difficulty Brain Test levels combine multiple trick types into one puzzle. You might need device interaction plus wordplay plus visual misdirection all at once. These multi-layered puzzles test whether you've internalized every trick type from earlier levels and can combine them fluidly.

Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions.
