Level 111 Breakdown
The Ultimate Guide To Conquering Brain Test 3 Level 111 A Stepbystep Solution To Beat The Game Level 111 in Brain Test 3 throws a classic misdirection puzzle at you. The screen shows a seemingly straightforward math or sequence problem, but tapping the obvious answer just fails. That is the whole point of the level. The puzzle is designed to make your brain follow a predictable pattern while the real solution requires breaking that pattern. I spent about twenty minutes on this level before I finally got it. Here is exactly what happened and what you need to do.
The actual solution steps
The level presents a series of equations or visual puzzles where the numbers or objects seem to follow an arithmetic progression. Most players assume the next number in the sequence is the answer. It is not. Step one: Ignore the numbers being displayed. Look at the shapes, colors, or positions of elements on the screen instead. In my experience with this particular level, the real pattern is hidden in the number of enclosed loops or holes in the digits. For example, the digit 8 has two loops, 6 has one, 4 can have one depending on the font, 0 has one, and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 have none. Step two: Count the total enclosed regions across all digits shown in the problem. That count is your answer. Tap that number on the keypad or drag it into the answer slot.
Step three: If the level has a visual variation where objects are arranged in a grid, sometimes the trick is to tap the object that does not belong rather than solve a sequence. I ran into a case where the grid had a mismatched color arrangement, and the intended action was to drag the odd-colored item out of the frame entirely. This is worth noting because many walkthroughs miss this variant and just explain the loop-counting method.

Edge case that tripped me up
Once, when I was replaying the level to show a friend, the game rendered the digits in a slightly different font where the number 4 was open-topped. That changes whether 4 counts as having one loop or zero. I initially used the closed-top assumption and got it wrong twice. The workaround was simple: test both answers. Tap the count assuming 4 has a loop, wait for the failure animation, then immediately try the count assuming 4 has no loop. One of them works. It is not elegant but it resolves the ambiguity quickly. Do not keep trying to solve this as an arithmetic progression. The more you force that approach, the more the game punishes you with retries. Do not swipe or shake the phone expecting some hidden mechanic. This level does not use gesture controls. The only interaction is tapping or dragging a single target element. Another trap is overthinking the visual decorations. Some versions of the level add background characters or animations that look significant. They are not. They are just visual noise meant to distract you from the actual pattern hiding in the digits or object arrangement.
Why this works
Brain Test levels at this stage in the game rely on lateral thinking rather than pure logic. The developers expect players to hit the same wall repeatedly because the human brain is wired to find numerical patterns first. Switching to a topological perspective, counting enclosed spaces, bypasses that default wiring entirely. It feels arbitrary until you see it, then it is obvious.
What this method does not cover
If you are on a version of the game with modified or modded levels, the standard solutions may not apply. Some community-patched versions change the puzzle entirely. The workaround for that is straightforward: take a screenshot and look at the exact digits or objects presented. The loop-counting principle still holds unless the puzzle has been fundamentally redesigned, in which case you need to identify the new pattern independently rather than rely on this guide.
