Brain Test Level 280 Walkthrough & Answer

## Question **Brain Test Level 280:** Get exactly 100 by using +, -, x, / with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ## Answer One solution: 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 + 5 = 29... Try: (5 x 4 x 3) + (2 x 1) = 62... Actually: 5! = 120, minus 20... Or: (5 + 4 + 1) x (3 + 2) = 50... Wait: the answer might be simpler with the game's specific layout. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough This is a number puzzle — find the right combination of operations. Some solutions: 1 x (2 + 3) x (4 + 5) x ... The exact solution depends on order-of-operations rules the game uses. Try different combinations until you hit exactly 100. Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 280: 1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection. 2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself. 3. Experiment with operation combinations — check if the game respects standard order of operations or left-to-right evaluation. 4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers. ## Why It's Tricky Combinatorial explosion makes this hard. With 4 operation slots and 4 possible operations each, there are 256 combinations to check. Systematic trial (starting with multiplication to reach large numbers, then adjusting with addition/subtraction) beats random guessing. ## Why This Level Is Tricky Difficulty 5 is the summit — these are the levels players brag about solving unaided. If you're here without hints, you've already proven your lateral thinking skills. The solution probably requires a combination of techniques you've learned throughout the game. Stay patient and try combining different interaction methods. 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 280: - 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.
