Hint

Reveal a hint

Would putting more potatoes in the same pot really take any longer?

Why It Works

Cooking is done in parallel, not one potato at a time. As long as they all fit in the same pot, five potatoes finish after the same 25 minutes as one, so the number pad should read 25.

Frequently asked questions

What is the answer to Brain Test level 313?

Enter 25, because cooking several potatoes together takes the same 25 minutes as one potato.

Why is the answer 25 in Brain Test level 313?

All the potatoes cook together in one pot, so cooking time does not multiply with the number of potatoes.

Is the trick in Brain Test level 313 about multiplication?

Yes, the trap is to multiply 25 by 5, but the real answer stays 25 because the potatoes cook at the same time.

How do I solve the potato puzzle in Brain Test level 313?

Type 25 on the number pad and tap the checkmark, ignoring the instinct to multiply by the number of potatoes.

Does Brain Test level 313 use cooking logic?

It does, because cooking happens in parallel, so the time stays at 25 minutes regardless of how many potatoes are in the pot.
