[Puzzle 003]

[hisapprentice]

Does anyone want to help celebrate the new year with a puzzle? I made it up myself!

Which of these shapes can't be drawn without picking your pen up from the page or retracing any lines?



It's okay if you cross over a line you already made, but if you've got it all right you shouldn't need to.

Don't tell anyone else your answer! I'm not going to give it away to everyone either.

[meanwhile he still needs things like a real place to live and such. Does that matter in the face of puzzles? ...Well, yes, actually. Luke's a fan, but not a maniac. He just doesn't know anyone well enough to think of living with them, or asking. Or...anything.

He will be at Seventh Heaven, chowing down for dinner. Boy can eat half a menu when he's hungry.]

So have you done a lot of puzzles before?

[written]

[mythbuster]

I'm not surprised. The everyday person doesn't study puzzles for their secrets. They just want the answer.

[wise_maiden]

I've done a few now and again when I've had time on my hands.

Finally! ♥ Do you have any more? [NOT GIVING UP UNTIL SHE CAN SOLVE THEM IN ONE TRY.]

Um... the inside design doesn't touch the outline around the edge? It only joins up with the lines that go inwards.


((OOC: Hints would be appreciated? XD Link is good at puzzles, I'm not so good ;) ))

After you do enough of them, you just find out the secrets whether you want to or not.

That's great! Do you know any? I'd love to hear a puzzle from another world.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

But if I gave you this one instead, you could do it without retracing any lines.



You would have to cross a few, though.

[[ooc: At least, I managed to do it! I could've made a mistake, though.]]

Oh, I know a lot of puzzles.

You're so clever, Luke! ♥ Tell me one!

[hisapprentice]

Do you want to see another one like this one?

[Written]

[failguardian]

Sure!

[That's a pretty nice puzzle you've got there, Luceti. While he's figuring it out, he might as well converse with the youngster.]

That's a pretty impressive puzzle you've got there. You really came up with it all by yourself?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Hang on, trying it out...]

The line down the middle. In the first picture, it splits in two, and you can't draw both. Right?

Cheated. The pen never left the paper, though.

[OOCly read: her mun assumed and you're right, you can't really do that.]

[ruinedhiswish]

I see... _{[except not really.]}

[written...?]

[rollypolyclover]

[This is the best hand writing ever. Totally ignoring the fact this might be a puzzle in favour of stating how nice those drawings are. :|b]

[Hughes did you just call him Luceti]

Of course! I wouldn't say that if it was someone else's work.

[Oh. Oh Yotsuba. He'll speak to her because...he's not sure if she can read really.]

Thanks! It took a long time to get them to look as neat as I wanted.

Cheating isn't how you solve a puzzle properly.

[That's okay, he can teach that lesson to lots of people.]

[hisapprentice]

...You don't have a lot of puzzles where you're from, do you?

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

You're right, you can't. I suppose that's sort of how it works.

[voiced]

[rollypolyclover]

Speaking! Aaah... Aaaah! Testing! Three two one!

[Speaking would probably be best, unless Luke doesn't mind as she slowly reads through each of his messages and then scrawls something back--]

They look really neat, and pretty! Do you want to become an artist?

[ruinedhiswish]

We just have more important things to do than solving some puzzles.

[voiced]

[hisapprentice]

U-Uh, no, not really. I suppose I've just practiced a lot, making up puzzles for the Professor.
