"Big Brain Academy" requires you to earn medals to earn new challenges and complete the game. In each challenge, your score will determine what medal you earn. You will need a 100-gram brain for a bronze medal, 200 grams for a silver and 300 grams for the gold. The difficulty settings determine how hard it is to earn platinum medals, with 400 grams required on easy level, 475 grams on hard and 500 grams on expert. Practice the challenges to master them and earn higher medals. There is one easy trick you can try to earn a better medal. If you quit out of one game four times in 60 seconds, you get a platinum medal automatically.
