Brain Puzzle 3 level 12 Overcrowded scene

Watch the full solution.

Thirteen drags out of the elevator and one toolbox click that pays out twice, four moves apart: the clip keeps that order straight.

What makes Level 12 tricky.

The goal is a number: bring the elevator down to 1000KG. The cards answer it in fourteen moves, thirteen of them drags and one click, and ten of the fourteen end outside the elevator. The four that do not are what the level is actually testing. Every move is named after the passenger it takes something from or the object it moves, so the cards read as a list of people rather than a list of weights.

Four of the ten belong to one passenger. Steps 2 to 5 take the cotton pants, the jeans, the thermal pants and the stockings off the child in the upper left corner, one garment per move and four moves in a row. That is the only place where the cards repeat a recipient four times; the rest of the weight leaves from different people. The watch at step 1 comes off the girl in the middle, the hair at step 6 off the white-shirted man, the glasses at step 9 off the blue-shirted man and the mask at step 14 off the handsome man.

Two objects inside the cabin change what the later moves can reach. Step 7 takes the sweet potato out of the housewife's shopping basket and gives it to the fat man in the lower left corner; step 8 then sends the basket outside, the only container the level empties before it leaves. Step 10 is the only click in the level and it opens the toolbox in the worker's hand on the right. That click pays out twice: the scissors at step 11 cut the cardboard box held by the worker on the left so the stone inside can leave at step 12, and the crowbar at step 13 goes to the woman in the yellow skirt, four moves after the toolbox was opened. The stone at step 12 cannot leave before the box is cut at step 11, so those two moves cannot be swapped.

One child, four garments, one toolbox.

The parts of this level that punish a fast run:

Thirteen drags and one click, and the cabin only stops emptying where a container still holds something or a tool has not been opened yet.

Why does nothing happen when I tap in Level 12?

Thirteen of the fourteen moves are drags and step 10 is the only click, on the toolbox in the worker's hand, so a tap that does nothing is the wrong gesture.

Is this Level 12 walkthrough up to date?

This order matches the current build, where the elevator sits at level 12; older clips number the same cabin differently once a level is inserted before it.
