Brain Test Level 40 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 40★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Players Google "Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles Level 40" specifically because the answer feels like it should be obvious — and isn't. That gap between "should be easy" and "actually stuck" is what makes this one worth a walkthrough.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 40:** What time is it?
## Answer
Check your actual phone's current time and enter it. The game reads your device clock.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The game isn't asking about the clock shown on screen. It wants your real current time. Enter whatever time is shown on your actual device's status bar or system clock.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 40:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Check your actual phone's current time and enter it.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 40 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
This level ups the challenge slightly, but you've got the right mindset if you've made it this far. Brain Test wants you to second-guess yourself just enough to find the real answer. If you're stuck for more than a minute, try reading the question out loud — hearing the words often reveals the trick. 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 40:
- 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
- Don't overthink it — Brain Test rewards creative, lateral thinking over logical analysis.
- If your first instinct doesn't work, try the opposite approach — Brain Test loves to subvert expectations.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 40 has a difficulty rating of 2/5 — it should be solvable with a simple trick.
