Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 39 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 39:** Help the penguin fly
## Answer
Penguins can't fly! Remove the penguin and replace it with a bird, or tap 'can't' to solve it.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
This is an impossible task by design. Penguins cannot fly. Look for alternative solutions: drag a bird onto the penguin, remove the penguin from the scene, or tap text suggesting it's impossible.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 39:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Penguins can't fly! Remove the penguin and replace it with a bird, or tap 'can't' to solve it.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 39 is designed to catch players who think too literally or too logically. The game's core mechanic is to subvert expectations. Most players fail this level on their first try because they approach it with conventional thinking. The key insight is that the game often uses the question text, physical phone gestures, or visual misdirection as part of the puzzle. Once you understand that Brain Test breaks the fourth wall regularly, these puzzles become much more manageable.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
At difficulty 2, Brain Test starts layering its tricks. The puzzle likely combines a visual misdirection with wordplay. Pay attention to what the question literally asks versus what you assume it asks — the gap between those two is where the solution hides. These early levels (1-50) teach you Brain Test's fundamental trick vocabulary: literal wordplay, tapping hidden elements, and questioning obvious answers. Master these patterns now — they recur throughout the entire game.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 39:
- Reading the question too fast and missing a critical word like 'not', 'biggest', or 'smallest'.
- Assuming numbers on screen represent their face value when they might be Roman numerals, binary, or visual patterns.
- Skipping the hint system entirely — hints in Brain Test are progressive and often nudge without spoiling.
Tips
- Try dragging objects around the screen — many Brain Test puzzles require you to move elements to unexpected places.
- If your first instinct doesn't work, try the opposite approach — Brain Test loves to subvert expectations.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 39 has a difficulty rating of 2/5 — it should be solvable with a simple trick.
