Professor Layton Walkthrough

Guide written by Mitchell Saltzman

General Tips

  1. Over the course of the game you'll run into several puzzles that involve looking at a series of statements said by a group of people and then deducing which one of them is lying. These puzzles are pretty much all solved the same way. Go down the list of statements individually and assume that each person is telling the truth (or is lying, depending on what the puzzle asks). Then, check that statement with the others to see if there are any contradictions.
  2. In multiple choice puzzles, rather than try to single out the correct answer, you should instead eliminate all of the choices that can't possibly be correct. Doing so will usually narrow your choices down to two, thus making the puzzle much more manageable.
  3. There are many puzzles in the game that are much simpler than they seem. Whenever you are stumped or think that a puzzle just simply can't be solved, carefully re-read the question and pay close attention to the wording.
  4. Use a pen and paper! Draw graphs, diagrams, equations, anything that you need to help you out. Sometimes just thinking about a puzzle isn't enough. It'll help tremendously when you're able to actually see yourself going through the steps of solving a puzzle.
  5. The painfully obvious answer is usually the wrong answer. 90% of the time if you think an answer to a puzzle is too obvious to truly be the answer, it is. In situations like this, re-read the puzzle, and look for some way that there could be another solution. If you search and search and still can't find any other solution, then go with the obvious.
  6. Don't get too advanced with mathematics. Some of the puzzles in the game seem like they would use fancy geometric formulas, but almost all of the puzzles in Professor Layton can be solved with very minimal mathematic knowledge. If you try to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the puzzle Arc and Line, chances are you won't find the right answer and you'll spend a lot more time arriving at that wrong answer.

Hint Coins

  1. Hint coins can be found in every area of Professor Layton and are uncovered by tapping specific parts of the background.
  2. During a puzzle, whenever you get stuck you can use a hint coin to have the game give you up to three hints that progressively make the answer more and more clear.
  3. Certain puzzles, like the block moving puzzles, usually won't have very much to offer in terms of clues since solving them is simply a matter of moving the blocks around yourself. For these puzzles, it's highly advisable to save your hint coins.

Secret Puzzles

  1. There are 15 secret puzzles in Professor Layton that can't be accessed in the main game. These puzzles are listed under Layton's Challenges in the bonus menu and are unlocked by fufilling certain conditions.

Prologue

  1. After being introduced to Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke, you will automatically be charged with solving a string of puzzles separated by cutscenes.

Puzzle #1 – Where’s the Town?

NOTE: The videos embedded below are taken from various sources around the web, and so may present an alternative strategy to our written walkthrough.

  1. As you might have guessed, the first puzzle is fairly simple. Use the process of elimination to find the one road that doesn’t lead to any other villages but one.
  2. The answer is the top left village with the red roofs.
  3. Reward: 10 Picarats

Puzzle #2 – The Crank and Slot

  1. Once again, use process of elimination here. Based on the picture, which choices can we eliminate?
  2. Two is out, because the triangle shape is coming out of the pointed side of the pentagon.
  3. The answer is slot number one.
  4. Reward: 15 Picarats
  5. Once you regain control, tap the old lady to initiate puzzle #3.

Puzzle #3 – Strange Hats

  1. There isn’t really any trick to this one. Just turn each hat on its side and try and picture which one has a brim that is equal to the height
  2. It can’t be B or D…
  3. The answer is A.
  4. Reward: 10 Picarats
  5. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the barrel in front of the Inn
    • Tap the barrel in front of the third house on the right side
    • Tap the furthest window to the right on the first house on the right side.
  6. After getting all of the hint coins, tap the boot and head north to begin Chapter One.

Chapter One – Reinhold Manor Awaits

  1. Talk to Percy to initiate puzzle #4.

Puzzle #4 – Where’s My House?

  1. Remember that the sun rises in the east, so if at the end of your trip you’re facing the east side, how must you have come according to the instructions given?
  2. Work backwards. You just turned the corner so that you’re facing east, and now you’re heading back. You make a left, another left, a right and you’re home. Which way must the driveway be facing in order for this to be true?
  3. There’s only one driveway facing north, and that is the blue house in the middle.
  4. Reward: 20 Picarats
  5. Tap the clock to start up puzzle #5

Puzzle #5 – Digital Digits

  1. This is a simple puzzle, but it’s tricky. Your best bet on this one is to just get a pen and paper and start writing them down.
  2. Don’t forget 11:10, 11:11, 11:12, etc.
  3. Don’t forget that there are 24 hours in a day, not 12. Whatever answer you had after going through all the possibilities once, double it.
  4. The answer should be 34.
  5. Reward: 50 Picarats
  6. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the window on the house with the smoking chimney.
    • Tap the barrel to the right of Percy

    • Tap the sign next to the blue door
    • Tap the window closest to the brown door.
  9. Talk to Marco, the man with the glasses, and he’ll give you puzzle #6.

Puzzle #6 – Light Weight

  1. Every time you restart, the “light weight” changes, so don’t bother trying to weigh them individually.
  2. Try putting three weights on each side and see if that gets your brain going.
  3. If the weights are equal, then it must be one of the two remaining.
  4. If the weights are unequal, take the three lighter weights, and measure two of them
  5. If both of those weights are equal, then the weight you didn’t measure is the answer.
  6. There is no set answer I can give for this puzzle since its random. Just follow the above instructions.
  7. Reward: 40 Picarats
  8. Continue north towards the manor.
  9. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the hat in the boat
    • Tap the bush on the right side on the other end of the river.
    • Tap the stairs on the other end of the river.
  10. Talk to Ramon to initiate puzzle #7.

Puzzle #7 – Wolves and Chicks

  1. There isn’t really a trick to this puzzle. Just follow the rules and it’ll eventually come to you.
  2. First place a wolf and a chick on the raft and send it off.
  3. Take the chick back to the other side.
  4. Place two wolves on the raft and send it off.
  5. One wolf comes back, two chicks get on and get sent off.

  9. Reward: 50 Picarats
  10. We’re not done here yet. Tap the flowers on the other side of the river to start up puzzle #8.

Puzzle #8 – Farm Work

  1. This is a simple puzzle with a bunch of extraneous text. Look closely at what exactly the question is asking.
  2. Remember that the two farm workers split a 10 acre field in half. That means that they should split the money 50/50.
  3. Nowhere in the puzzle does it say that the speed of the work is factored in the pay.
  4. The answer is $50.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats
  6. Head north towards the manor, enter the door, and congratulations on completing chapter one.

Intermission

  1. As you’re lead into the manor Matthew the Butler decides to test your meddle with a match puzzle.

Puzzle #9 – One Poor Pooch

  1. Just keep the basic anatomy of a dog in mind when you’re moving around the matches.
  2. The triangle represents the head, the match at the end is the tail, the square is the body, and the four matches at the bottom are legs. The dog must have all of these in the final product.
  3. Don’t think of this in real life terms. Think of a cartoon dog getting flattened by a steamroller.
  4. Move the two inside legs to the top half of the square facing outwards.
  5. Reward: 35 Picarats
  6. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the candle directly above Matthew’s head.
    • Tap the circular painting underneath the middle of the three paintings by the stairs.
    • Tap the top level of the bookcase.
  7. After collecting the hint coins, tap the bookcase to start up puzzle #10.

Puzzle #10 – Alphabet

  1. The trick is all in the wording of the puzzle.
  2. The part of the puzzle that says “…and the letter B comes after the letter A” is there to trick you. Pay it no mind and focus on what the puzzle wants you to guess.
  3. The answer is “T”. T is the last letter of the word alphabet.
  4. Reward: 30 Picarats
  5. There are two puzzles here in this next room, but we’ll go in numerical order. Talk to the guy with the glasses towards the back of the room to start up puzzle #11.

Puzzle #11 – Arc and Line

  1. I know what you’re thinking, but stop. You don’t need the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this puzzle. There is an easier way that doesn’t involve anything but the most basic of math skills.
  2. What do we know about rectangles and their diagonals? (They’re equal)
  3. What do we know about circles and their radii? (Any point on the circle is equidistant from the center.)
  4. BD is not only a radius, but its also a diagonal of the rectangle, which makes it equal to AC.
  5. AC = 10 inches.
  6. Reward: 20 Picarats
  7. Once that’s done, examine the chandelier for puzzle #110.

Puzzle #110 – The Vanishing Cube

  1. You’re going to have to take one match and make it stand totally vertically.
  2. The resulting three cubes will only touch at their edges.
  3. In the row of three cubes, take the top match of the middle cube and turn it vertically.
  4. Reward: 20 Picarats
  5. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the painting above Simon’s head (the guy with the glasses)
    • Tap the pot behind Lady Dahlia
    • Once your business is finished in terms of puzzles and hint coins, talk to Dahlia to start off chapter two.

Chapter Two – The Fugitive Feline

  1. There’s nothing more of interest in the manor for now, so head back to the courtyard.
  2. Upon arrival, you’ll find Dahlia’s cat, but she’ll run away right after you touch her.
  3. Follow her trail south, but not before checking the boat for puzzle #13

Puzzle #13 – Sinking Ship

  1. Don’t forget that one person has to remain in the boat in order to row it back to the ship to pick up more people.
  2. It takes 9 minutes for a round trip and the ship sinks in 20 minutes, which means that there is only time for two roundtrips. However, there are still two minutes left over after the raft comes back a second time.
  3. Since the raft doesn’t have to come back a third time, it is able to make three trips to the island.
  4. 4 + 4 + 5 = 13. 13 People will live to see dry land.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. After finishing the puzzle, continue heading south. In the next area, go into the blue door by tapping the boot and then touching the door.
  7. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the box with posters inside it.
    • Tap the cabinet above the chairs.
    • Tap the second level of the shelf in the back.
  8. Examine the chairs in the back to initiate puzzle #14.

Puzzle #14 – Which Chair

  1. You’re going to have to think outside of the box a bit on this one.
  2. Concerts, sporting events, and conventions all demand a different number of seats. What kind of chair is suitable for these needs?
  3. Picture yourself working backstage and having to set up and clean up all of those chairs. Which chair would take up the least amount of space when stored?
  4. The answer is E because it is the only chair that is stackable.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. Examine the candle while you’re in this room as well to start up another puzzle.

Puzzle #15 – How Many Are Left?

  1. It’s another tricky question where the key is in the wording.
  2. Look specifically at what they’re asking. It’s not how many candles went out or didn’t go out, it is how many candles are left.
  3. Assume that the man came back several hours later to check on the candles. If the wind didn’t extinguish the flames on the lit candles, what would’ve happened to them?
  4. The answer is three. The candles that were extinguished still retained their shape as candles. The candles that were still lit eventually melted.
  5. Reward: 10 Picarats
  6. You’re done in this room for now, so head out of the building and move westwards to the clock tower area.
  7. After getting the strange gizmo from Franco, tap on Claudia to once again have her run away. We’ll go after her in a bit, but first we have business in the house with the blue door.
  8. Enter the house and talk to Rodney to initiate our next puzzle.

Puzzle #16 – Triangles and Ink

  1. Your first thought might be to count up all of the triangles in the big triangle and divide by four. If you look closely at the puzzle though, you’ll see why this doesn’t work.
  2. You have enough ink to draw four triangles to make that shape, but you only need to draw three triangles to make it. The middle triangle is formed automatically from drawing the three outer triangles.
  3. Count up the triangles again, but this time, ignore the triangles that you don’t need to draw, and divide it by 3.
  4. Your answer should be 7.
  5. Reward: 40 Picarats
  6. There’s one more hidden puzzle in this room, and you can find it by examining the window in the back.

Puzzle #118 – Red and Black Cards

  1. This puzzle is simpler than it sounds. If you have to, take out a piece of paper and write down a few hypothetical scenarios.
  2. If one deck has 20 reds, it must have 6 blacks. Likewise, the other deck must have the remaining 6 reds and 20 blacks.
  3. The answer is 1000. No matter how you shuffle the cards, the number of red cards in one deck will match the number of black cards in the other and vice versa.
  4. Reward: 50 Picarats
  5. Before leaving this room, feel free to hunt down some hint coins.
  6. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the cupboard the Rodney is standing in front of.
    • Tap the brown picture frame in the back above the blue painting.
    • Tap the black area underneath the desk at the back.
  7. Before we can chase after Claudia, we need to check into the Inn at the entrance of the village. So head south after leaving the building.
  8. Talk to the guy with the mustache for your next puzzle.

Puzzle #17 – Five Card Shuffle

  1. The best way to go about this one is simply going card by card and checking out the details on each one. Which cards overlap? Which way does the pointed side face? Ask questions like these as you compare the cards.
  2. The difference is in the spade in the middle and its relationship to one of the cards around it.
  3. The answer is D. The club that is facing the heart should be overlapping the spade, not underlapping.
  4. Reward: 30 Picarats
  5. When you’re done, head into the Inn and talk to the lady behind the desk.
  6. Talk to her once again after the conversation ends to start up another puzzle.

Puzzle #18 – Of Dust and Dustpan

  1. The new dustpan you make will be facing downwards.
  2. Take the match on the right, flip it 180 degrees and put it on the left side of the trash ball.
  3. Take the match facing right and move it so that it fits between the two matches facing downwards.
  4. Reward: 10 Picarats
  5. Examine the picture above Beatrice for a hidden puzzle.

Puzzle #112 – My Beloved

  1. Play around with rotating the pieces and see if you come with anything to build from.
  2. Ignore the image of the old man and focus on the black space.
  3. Flip all of the pieces so that the black spaces face the center. This should give you an idea of what goes where.
  4. Remember that she is wearing a hat, so make sure that your final picture reflects that.
  5. Reward: 50 Picarats
  6. Before you leave here, you can find a few hint coins.
  7. Hint Coins':
    • Tap the flower pot
    • Tap between the cushions of the sofa.
    • Tap the lap on Beatrice’s desk.
  8. Once you’re all done, head out of the Inn, go south to the drawbridge, and check the car for one more puzzle before we can get back to finding the cat.

Puzzle #19 – Parking Lot Gridlock

  1. There is no limit to the number of moves that you can use to solve this puzzle, so I would recommend just working it out yourself until you get it.
  2. The in-game hints tell you to move the two cars directly in front of the Laytonmobile first by moving the horizontal car in front of them. Once that’s done, move the Laytonmobile forward, and rearrange the cars in the back so you can make room to move the cars blocking the exit.
  3. Reward: 30 Picarats
  4. There are more hint coins in this area if you’re interested in collecting them all.
  5. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the pouch hanging from the window on the right side
    • Tap the left most window on the top row.
    • Tap underneath the platform Layton and Luke are standing on.
  6. Finally we can get back on track to catching Claudia. Head back to the Plaza and go left. Talk to the angry man for puzzle #20

Puzzle #20 – Unfriendly Neighbors

  1. This one is pretty tough. Start off by connecting B since it’s the shortest route and cuts off the least amount of road.
  2. The path for D goes around the north end.
  3. The path for A goes around the bottom C point.
  4. The path for C goes between the bottom B and A points.
  5. Reward: 50 Picarats
  6. We’re not done with angry guy yet. Talk to him again and he’ll give you puzzle #21.

Puzzle #21 – Pill Prescription

  1. This puzzle may initially seem silly as you’d think that for ten days you’d label ten pills. But put yourself in the man’s shoes and see why 10 isn’t the minimum number of labels he has to write.
  2. If he’s taking the pills starting today, he doesn’t need to label the first pill since he’ll be taking it immediately after labeling it.
  3. Likewise, he doesn’t need to label the last pill because it’s the only one left.
  4. The answer is 8.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats:
  6. Talk to the old lady for the next puzzle.

Puzzle #22 – Pigpen Partitions

  1. This is one puzzle where you will learn by doing. Try out a couple of different configurations of the three ropes and see if you can get closer to the solution.
  2. As you can see, the problem pig is going to be the one in the center, so rather than focusing on the big picture, just focus on separating the middle pig from everyone else.
  3. The ropes should form a tight triangle around the center pig, isolating not only him, but every other pig from each other as well.
  4. To be more specific, rope one should go from the top first post on the left, to the bottom second post from the right. Rope two should go from the top first post on the right to the bottom second post from the left. Rope three should go straight across from the post just below the top left pig to the first post below the top right pig.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. Examine the poster on the house with the blue door to find yet another hidden puzzle.

Puzzle #111 - Mystery Item

  1. Think of the matches as letters. You have three O’s and a D. That should make it obvious what the answer to the riddle is based on the clue given.
  2. The tricky part about this puzzle is figuring out how to make the word by only moving one match. Just know that it is ok if one letter is bigger than the others.
  3. Take the right most match of the first square and put it under the left most match of the same square to make a capital F and spell FOOD.
  4. Reward: 40 Picarats
  5. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the barrel under the poster
    • Tap the window at the top of the large house
    • Tap the basket in the bottom left of the screen.
  6. Head into the blue door and talk to the barkeep to start up the next puzzle

Puzzle #23 – Juice Pitchers

  1. Fans of the movie Die Hard With a Vengeance should recognize this puzzle. Either way, you should get used to them because you’re going to be seeing a lot of these.
  2. Once again, the best way advice to be given for these kinds of puzzles is to learn by doing. But if you’re looking for the solution, here it is.
  3. Pour the 8 quart into the 5 quart (3 – 5 – 0)
  4. Pour the 5 quart into the 3 quart (3 – 2 – 3)
  5. Pour the 3 quart into the 8 quart (6 – 2 – 0)
  6. Pour the 5 quart into the 3 quart (6 – 0 – 2)
  7. Pour the 8 quart into the 5 quart (1 – 5 – 2)
  8. Pour the 5 quart into the 3 quart (1 – 4 – 3)
  9. Pour the 3 quart into the 8 quart (4 – 4 – 0)
  10. Reward: 40 Picarats
  11. While we’re here, we might as well talk to other villager in the restaurant, Flick, for puzzle #25.

Puzzle #25 – Equilateral Triangle

  1. Fiddle around with the coins for a little while and see if anything comes to mind.
  2. You should realize that with only three moves, you won’t be able to do much with the inner coins of the triangle.
  3. The three coins that you’re going to have to move are the three corners of the triangle.
  4. Take the bottom two corners and put them on the sides of the second row from the top. Then take the top corner and place it below the bottom two coins.
  5. Reward: 25 Picarats
  6. Finally we can do what we originally set out to do and catch that darn cat. Well, almost. There is one more puzzle that stands in our way.
  7. Head out of the restaurant and then head north to the park entrance.
  8. Once there tap on the vase in the lower right to uncover puzzle #26.

Puzzle #26 – Bottle Full of Germs

  1. The first thing you should do is compile what you know. 1 germ will fill the jar in 60 minutes and each germ will split into two every minute. As opposed to the example, your jar has two germs already inside.
  2. All you really have to figure out is how much time you save by having an extra germ in the jar at the start.
  3. If you have to, draw a table listing the number of germs and the amount of time that has passed. You shouldn’t have to go very far before you see how much time you would save.
  4. The answer is 59 minutes. You would only save one minute by having two germs in the jar as apposed to just one.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats
  6. Don’t forget to collect some hint coins before proceeding
  7. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the top of the left pillar.
    • Tap the spec of dirt closest to Claudia and the park gate.
    • Tap the top of the stone wall under the tree furthest to the right.
  8. Now just tap Claudia and congratulations, you’re done with chapter 2!

Intermission

  1. Once the dialogue is done, talk to Gordon (The fat guy by the door) to have a look at puzzle #27.

Puzzle #27 – Bickering Brothers

  1. As always with these kinds of puzzles, you should first spend a couple of minutes trying out various different combinations yourself and see if you find something that works.
  2. Let’s look at what we know for sure. Brother #2 only has three possible seats because he can’t sit in the top half of the table since brother #1 is there. Play around with placing brother #2 in one of his three possible spots and build around it.
  3. Brother #3 is seated to the right or left of brother #1.
  4. Starting from the top and going clockwise, the order is: 1, 3, 6, 4, 2, and 5. The inverse of that also works which would be 1, 5, 2, 4, 6, 3.
  5. Reward: 40 Picarats
  6. To start up the next puzzle, talk to Matthew.

Puzzle #28 – Find the Dot

  1. Try picturing in your mind where the black dot is in relation to the red dot on the front. Once you figure that out, it’s a simple matter of rotating the piece and visualizing where the dot will be when you flip it again.
  2. When you flip the shape to its back, the black dot appears two points to the left of where the red dot was. In order for this to happen, the black dot has to be two points to the right of the red dot when the front of the shape is showing.
  3. If all else fails, draw a picture, cut it out, and try it yourself.
  4. The black dot should go in the south east point of the shape.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. With those two puzzles out of the way, talk to Inspector Chemley to proceed with more storytelling.
  7. Once Chemley leaves, talk to Matthew who will let you enter Dahlia’s room.
  8. As you should know by now, a new room means more hint coins.
  9. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the vase on the desk at the left side of the room
    • Tap the upper right corner of the room between the curtains and the Professor’s case.
    • Tap the seat of the chair on the left.
  10. Once you’re done inspecting the room for coins, talk to Dahlia to start Chapter 3

Chapter Three – The Missing Servant

  1. As soon as the chapter begins, examine the middle of the right curtain for another hint coin.
  2. Don’t forget to view the photo on the right side of the room as well before you leave.
  3. Head back to the Manor Parlor and speak with Inspector Chemley for the next puzzle.

Puzzle #29 – Five Suspects

  1. You’ll be seeing several of these types of “Who is lying” puzzles in the future, but they’re all solved basically in the same way. It’s a lot of information, so digest each piece one at a time.
  2. Go down the list of statements one by one and assume each one is true. Then see if you can find any contradictions that would make that person a liar.
  3. For example, E obviously must be lying because if he was telling the truth, he’d be a liar at the same time by saying all five, including him, are dirty rotten liars.
  4. Of all the criminals, the only one whose statement doesn’t contradict the others is D. Therefore, one criminal should be released.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats
  6. Head down the stairs and talk to Matthew in the Manor Foyer to update the mystery of Lady Dahlia.
  7. After that’s done, head outside and tap Claudia to find a piece of evidence on the disappearance of Simon. Then head south to the Manor Border and talk to Agnes to receive puzzle #30

Puzzle #30 – One Line Puzzle #1

  1. Start off by tracing each picture yourself and see which ones you can draw without lifting your stylus. Don’t jump to conclusions though; there might be another way to draw the object without breaking the line.
  2. To quote the in-game hint #2: “If your pen is entering a point formed by an even number of lines, you will always be able to leave the point via another line.”
  3. The answer is the house in the bottom left.
  4. Reward: 30 Picarats
  5. Walk south and talk to Marco twice for the next puzzle.

Puzzle #31 – Racetrack Riddle

  2. It doesn’t matter how fast the horses run in one minute, just where they end up once that one minute is up.
  3. Horse A runs two laps in one minute, Horse B runs three laps in one minute, Horse C runs four laps in one minute. See where I’m going with this?
  4. After one minute, all three horses will meet back at the starting line.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. Head into the house with the blue door and tap on the jar of candy. Like everything else, it will remind Layton of a puzzle.

Puzzle #32 – Candy Jars

  1. If the answer to this puzzle doesn’t come to you immediately, you might want to get a piece of paper out and write some stuff down.
  2. Rather than think of the candy in terms of 10 jars, let’s just say that there are 500 pieces of candy that we want to distribute into 20 small bags.
  3. Since 500 is such a big number, let’s downsize it to make it more manageable. Imagine you have 20 pieces of candy that you’re trying to put into 4 bags.
  4. It doesn’t matter how many candies you put in each bag, the average will always be the same number. Therefore the answer is 100%.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. We’re not done in here yet though. Tap the candle to initiate another candle related puzzle.

Puzzle #33 – Light Which One

  1. Read the question carefully while looking at all of the pictures shown below. There is one object there that MUST be lit first in order to do any of the other actions.
  2. You can probably light the lamp and use the fire from that to light the fireplace and the bathtub, but that’s still not the first thing that you must light.
  3. The answer is the match. You must first light the match before you can light anything else.
  4. Reward: 20 Picarats
  5. Now that everything in this room has been taken care of, head outside and then travel west.
  6. Once you are at the Plaza, talk to the young boy, Percy, twice for the next puzzle.

Puzzle #34 – How Many Sheets?

  1. The best way to go about doing this is by writing down the number of overlaps in each section.
  2. So for example, the inverted L shape on the left side has only 1 paper with no overlaps, so label it with a 1. The shape next to that has two overlaps, so label it with a two. Continue on from there and you’ll eventually find the spot with the most overlaps.
  3. Since there are only 7 sheets, the number must be less than 7.
  4. The answer is 5.
  5. Reward: 40 Picarats
  6. Now examine the white door for puzzle #58

Puzzle #58 – Get the Ball Out 1

  18. With no puzzles in this area, it’s time to leave the house and head west. Enter the restaurant through the blue door and talk to Crouton the barkeep for your next puzzle.

Puzzle #24 – Milk Pitchers

  1. Another one of these pitcher puzzlers. As always, your best bet is to simply keep at it and eventually you’ll get it.
  2. The fastest way to do this would be to:
  3. Pour the 10 quart into the 7 quart (3 – 7 – 0)

  14. He will give you puzzle #35 assuming you’ve completed enough puzzles up to this point.

Puzzle #35 – Strange Dots

  1. You may be tempted to think that there is some numerical pattern behind this puzzle. There really isn’t. The dots represent positions more than they do numbers.
  2. Think of an object with numbers on it that bears a strong similarity to the die and their numerical values.
  3. Think of a clock
  4. That’s right, D would correspond to the number 3.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats
  6. Once again, new area means three more hint coins, so here they are:
  7. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the street lamp in the top left

    • Tap the green piece of moss in the middle.
  8. A new area also brings us more puzzles. Examine the cat for puzzle #36.

Puzzle #36 – Too Many Mice

  1. This is a tricky puzzle, but perhaps not for the reason why you think it is tricky. Read the question several times to understand why.
  2. There is absolutely no math involved with this puzzle.
  3. If you still don’t get it, read the last paragraph of the puzzle again until you do.
  4. The puzzle says “You picked up one of these darling baby mice…” Mice aren’t asexual animals, so it would be impossible for the mouse to mate.
  5. The answer, therefore, would be 1.
  6. Reward: 30 Picarats
  7. Talk to the little girl Lucy for the next puzzle

Puzzle #37 – Brother and Sister

  1. Write down some potential ages for both siblings and test them. They’ll obviously have to be fairly low if you want them to meet the stipulations required by the puzzle.
  2. Note that the puzzle doesn’t tell you how much older the older sister is compared to the younger brother. She could be just days or months older than him.
  3. Try making them the same age.
  4. The answer is that both siblings are six.
  5. Reward: 40 Picarats
  6. Before heading north, check the doorway on the left for a hidden puzzle.

Puzzle #107 – A Worm’s Dream

  2. You’ll see that by heading south from the start and then hopping east, you can hit every island in the top portion.
  3. Once you reach the middle, however, you’ll run into some problems. Think where you can put a bridge in the middle portion to let you hit every island in the bottom half.
  4. Put a bridge between the house with the purple roof and the grey light house and you’ve got it.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats

  2. To echo my previous hint which echoed a hint from the game: “If your pen is entering a point formed by an even number of lines, you will always be able to leave the point via another line.”

Puzzle #40 – How Old is Dad?

  1. It sounds confusing, but what the dad is saying is actually really simple. Read the question a couple of times to see if you get it.
  2. Let’s look at things backwards. If you take half of the father’s age, you’ll end up with his son’s age, which is 22.
  3. So essentially, all that his dad is really saying is that he is twice as old as his son.
  4. The Dad is 44.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. Do you see that pillar in the back with a block etched out? Examine that block for another hidden puzzle.

Puzzle #101 – Splitting it Up

  1. This is a pretty simple puzzle. Obviously all of the corner pieces of the cube will have more than one side painted, since three of their faces are exposed.
  2. Likewise, every piece adjacent to a corner piece will have two sides painted.
  3. This leaves only the pieces in the dead center which will only have one side painted.
  4. Since there are six sides to a cube, the answer is six.
  5. Head right for a new area and three more hint coins
  6. Hint Coins:

  2. The best way to solve this is by shading in all of the areas that would be on the top end of the rope once it’s straightened. Then mark a tally every time you come across a coin.

  10. Your robot dog will also bark in the area of hidden puzzles and hint coins.
  11. For now though, talk to Gerard again for another puzzle.

Puzzle #42 – The Camera and the Case

  1. Here are the facts you need to know. The camera and the case together cost 310, the camera alone costs 300 + the cost of the case, and we’re trying to figure out how much the case alone costs.
  2. So let’s make a simple equation with the cost of the case being x. 300 + x + x = 310.
  3. That simplifies to 2x = 10, which makes x = 5.
  4. You paid the clerk $100, so if the case costs $5, you should get $95 back.
  5. Reward: 50 Picarats
  6. Head south and talk to Zappone who will send you to talk to Crouton.
  7. Head south back to the plaza to initiate a conversation with Deke.
  8. He’ll tell you that in order to find everything that St Mystere has to offer, you can’t just go from point A to point B. Let’s take his advice and head back into the clocktower and talk to Lucy. It seems she thought of a puzzle since you last saw her 2 seconds ago.

Puzzle #43 – The Three Umbrellas

  1. Look carefully at what the question is asking you.
  2. Let’s simplify the question. There are three umbrellas sitting in a stand. What are the chances that only two of the three owners wind up with their own umbrella?
  3. If two owners end up with their umbrella, that leaves only one owner and one umbrella left which means the last umbrella must be hers.
  4. Therefore the answer is 0%
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats
  6. Head south back to the plaza and then enter the blue door. Talk to Rodney twice for the next puzzle.

Puzzle #44 – Stamp Stumper

  1. Start with the stamps that need to be put together. For example, 90 can only go with 10 which makes it the only two square shape that you can use.
  2. The 70 at the bottom can only be grouped with the nearby 20 and 10, forming a small L shape.
  3. The 80 on the left can only be grouped with the two 10s above and below it, forming a three block straight line.
  4. The 10 in the top left corner forms a four block square with the 20, 20, and 50.
  5. The 30 under the 50 forms a four block inverted T shape with the 30, 30, and 10.
  6. The 10 at the top above the thirty is grouped with the 60, 20, and 10.

Puzzle #113 – The Pet Hotel

  1. This puzzle is pretty easy. You only have room for three letters, so only think of animals that are spelt with three letters.
  2. The only ones that come to my head are dog and cat. You can’t make the word dog just by moving two matches.
  3. But you can make the word “cat” by simply moving the two matches that make up the right side of the number 0 and using them to make the 9 into an A and the 7 into a T.
  4. Reward: 30 Picarats

  2. Continue on from the example. 5 mice can be caught in 5 minutes by 5 cats. By that logic, 10 mice can be caught in 10 minutes by 5 cats. See where I’m going with this?
  3. The answer is 5 cats.
  4. Reward: 25 Picarats
  5. Now talk to Lucy.

  4. The letters represent the numbers one to ten, so the fifth letter would be F, for five.

Puzzle #51 – The Town Barbers

  1. Note that everyone in the town gets their hair cut by one of these two stylists.
  2. This includes the stylists themselves
  3. Assuming that they don’t cut their own hair, this would mean that the one who did stylist A’s hair cut was stylist B and vice versa.
  4. Therefore, A would be the correct answer.
  5. Reward: 10 Picarats
  6. Before you leave the café, check the bottle in the bottom right for a hidden puzzle

Puzzle #106 – How Many Glasses?

  1. You probably already know which cups you’d have to switch, but the trick here is how many cups do you have to pick up?
  2. There is more than one way to change the order of the cups. If you’re second guessing yourself, your idea is probably wrong.
  3. You would take the contents of the second cup and pour it into the fifth, meaning you only have to pick up one cup.

Puzzle #54 – Monster!

Puzzle #114 – Tetrahedron Trial

  1. Rather than look for the one that fits, rule out all of the ones that don’t.
  2. We can eliminate A because all three lines must have a starting point coming out from the same side.
  3. We can eliminate D because the blue line has to be in between the two red lines.

Puzzle #57 – Cut Which One?

  1. Every ring with the exception of the one you’re looking to cut should only have a connection with no more than two rings.
  2. Since F is only connected to ring E and ring C is only connected to rings E and B, we can rule them out. Since F is only connected to one ring, it also means it’s one of the end rings.
  3. If F is the end ring on one side, that means that A is the end ring on the other. This narrows our search down to only B or D, since those are the two rings connected to A.
  4. The answer is D.
  5. Reward: 30 Picarats
  6. Head eastwards and examine the piece of crumbled paper on the ground. There is also one hint coin in this area.

  2. You will make an S-Shape in the middle of the map.
  3. The S-Shape will be made from the bottom up.
  4. Head left from the start all the way to the end. Then head down and turn right at the second intersection from the bottom.

Puzzle #60 – Weighing Cats

  1. Don’t bother trying to find out how much one color of cat weighs compared to other colors. There’s an easier way to solve this.
  2. Example 2 has the same number of red cats as the setup that we’re trying to solve. Therefore we can substitute the three red cats out for two blacks and one white.
  3. This leaves us with six black cats and one white on one side, and four whites and one black on the other.
  4. Four whites equals five blacks, which makes the right side of the scale become six blacks.
  5. Six blacks plus one white is heavier than just six blacks, so the scale will tip to the left.

Puzzle #61 – Pin Board Shapes

  1. The board is 7x7, which means that there are 49 pins in total on the board. If you use 17 to make the cross, and 16 pins are inside the cross, then that leaves 16 pins that are outside the cross. Remember this when making your cross.
  2. In order to have enough room to make the cross, it’s going to have to go diagonally. Meaning it’ll look more like an X than a cross.
  3. The cross is going to be three pegs wide.
  4. Every third peg from an edge will connect to a third peg on the adjacent side. Then it will dip down one peg and connect to the third peg from the other edge. Follow this pattern until the cross is complete.
  5. Reward: 40 Picarats
  6. Talk to Gordon again for puzzle #103

Puzzle #103 – Wood Cutouts

  1. There are 32 squares in total, which means each piece will be made of 8 blocks.
  2. Remember that the pieces cannot be mirrors of each other, so simply drawing a cross through the middle of the shape won’t work.
  3. The shape you’re looking to create is like that of a staple.
  4. Start at the center of the shape, move one square over, and make a line that goes one square from the end of the other side. Then just make your two staple shapes and the other two will be created as a result.

  2. The difference between the age of the mom and dad is very small.
  3. If the mom is one and the dad is two, two times one is two, and two times 1.5 is three.
  4. Therefore, the difference in their ages is one year, making the mother 43.
  5. Reward: 20 Picarats

  8. Hint Coins:
    • Tap the desk drawer on the right.
  9. Talk to Rodney.

Puzzle #64 – Odd Equations

  1. Obviously traditional mathematics doesn’t apply here, so try to think of a situation where 8 plus 6 would equal 2.
  2. Negative numbers would fall under traditional mathematics, so don’t think along those lines.
  3. For 8 + 6 to equal 2, the sum would have to reset to zero once it reached twelve. Can you think of a similar situation?
  4. If it was 8 o’ clock and a friend told you there was a movie playing in six hours, what time would you meet him at the theater?
  5. The answer is 1.

Puzzle #65 – What’s E?

  1. We have to find out what the numbers assigned to each letter mean, so look at the letters one at a time to find a correlation.
  2. A is two, so what about section A on the diagram could possibly correspond to the number 2.
  3. That’s right, A is made up of two lines. Don’t jump to conclusions though! Check this with the other letters.
  4. You see a problem don’t you? D is made up of three lines, yet its value is 4. This must mean that the numbers correspond to the number of sections that are adjacent to each letter.
  5. Therefore, E is 5.
  6. Reward: 50 Picarats
  7. Now talk to Lucy for puzzle #66.

Puzzle #66 – Birthday Girl

  1. This is a fairly simple puzzle, but the way it’
  2. Let’s assume that the year is 2000. At some point in 1999, the woman was 19. She is now 21.
  3. This means that sometime during 1999, she must have turned 20. This puts her birthday either at January 1st or January 2nd
  4. Since the clue states that she was still 19 on New Year’s Day last year, that means her birthday must be January 2nd.
  5. Reward: 60 Picarats
  6. Talk to Lucy once again for your next puzzle.

Puzzle #67 – The Chocolate Code

  1. There are three important things to take note of in this puzzle. The first is that there are bite marks on nearly all of the pieces of chocolate except the blank one, and that they are located on different areas of the chocolate
  2. The text of the puzzle calls your girlfriend a “gadget-loving” girlfriend. They wouldn’t mention this if it wasn’t important. Think technology when you try to crack the code.
  3. The blank space in between the letters indicates a space. So you have two words, one made of four letters, the second of two.
  4. How would a gadget lover send messages to their boyfriend typically?
  5. If you guessed by text messaging, you’d be right. Look at your keyboard, and then look at the code once again. Pay attention to the bite marks.
  6. By going to each letter in the code and going in the direction of the bite marks, you’ll uncover the code “Text Me”.

Puzzle #68 – Find the Pentagons

  1. Don’t enter an answer until you’re absolutely sure that you counted all of them. Look for a variety of different sizes of pentagons.
  2. The first and most obvious set would be the small pentagons that use up the whole square and one triangle.
  3. Try to find pentagons where you can attach more than one triangle to the square.
  4. There are three sizes of pentagons you can find, and each pentagon will appear four times. This means that there are 12 pentagons.

Puzzle #71 – Sausage Thief

  1. Another one of these. Once again, take out a piece of paper and go down the list of statements, assuming each one is telling the truth one at a time.
  2. If A is telling the truth, then that means C must be telling the truth as well. Since only one person is telling the truth, it can’t be A. Same thing with B.
  3. That leaves only C and D. If we assume C is telling the truth, we get inconclusive statements all around.
  4. If we assume that D is telling the truth, it tells us that he didn’t eat the sausage, that B didn’t eat the sausage because A must be lying, and that C must’ve ate the sausage since he’s lying.
  5. Therefore, since D is the only statement that checks out with sound reasoning, the answer is C.
  6. Reward: 40 Picarats

Puzzle #108 – Not Knots?

  1. In order for a rope to make a knot, the rope would have to make a loop, and then one end of the rope has to go over one side of the loop and under the other.
  2. Knowing the above, we can eliminate B because no rope goes through the loop.
  3. The rest you’re just going to have to visualize yourself.
  4. There is only one choice that will make a knot
  5. The answer is C.
  6. Reward: 50 Picarats

Puzzle #72 – The Sound of Silence

  2. Try to find something else all of the words have in common except for one.
  3. Pronounce each of the words out loud and see if that doesn’t help you find a common thread.

Puzzle #74 – A Broken Window

  1. This one is actually solved a little bit differently than previous puzzles of this type since we know that the one who did it is lying, and that more than one may be lying as well.
  2. Well if the one who did it is lying, B can’t be the criminal because he admitted he did it. His admission would be a lie.
  3. Since we know that B didn’t do it, we know that D is telling the truth.
  4. That leaves us with A and C. Now let’s use our usual method and assume that each one is telling the truth.
  5. For A to be telling the truth, it would mean that C is telling the truth as well. They can’t all be telling the truth since the one who broke the window must be lying. Therefore, the answer is A.
  6. Reward: 30 Picarats
  7. Talk to Agnes once again for your next puzzle.

Puzzle #75 – The Wire Cube

  1. First try it out for yourself. Draw a cube with rules similar to the one line puzzle. Draw as much as you can with one line, and then fill the rest in with individual lines.
  2. If that doesn’t help you, try looking at it mathematically. There are eight corners in a cube, each with three lines coming out of them. This means that no matter what you do, you must have an endpoint of a piece of wire touching each corner.
  3. Every wire will have two ends, so eight divided by two equals four. Therefore, the answer is four wires.
  4. Reward: 40 Picarats
  5. Head north now and you’ll find yourself in a completely new area. Since we’re in a new area, we might as well look around for more hint coins.
