Level 82★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 82 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 82:** How many triangles are in a Star of David?
## Answer
8 — six small triangles around the edges, two large overlapping ones in the center.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A Star of David (hexagram) contains 8 triangles total: 6 small triangles forming the points and 2 large overlapping triangles creating the star shape. Count carefully.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 82:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. 8 — six small triangles around the edges, two large overlapping ones in the center.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 82 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
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. Mid-game levels (51-150) start combining multiple trick types in one puzzle. You might need both wordplay and physical interaction to solve a single level. If one approach fails, switch to a completely different trick category.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 82:
- Fixating on the visual scene and ignoring the question text, which often contains the key wordplay or clue.
- Trying the same approach repeatedly instead of testing a completely different interaction method.
- Forgetting that some levels require physical phone actions — shake, tilt, rotate, or cover the camera.
Tips
- Don't overthink it — Brain Test rewards creative, lateral thinking over logical analysis.
- Count every single element including hidden, overlapping, or partially visible ones.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 82 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires advanced lateral thinking.
