[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.]

Of course! You don't believe me?

That means he's so old that when it's 'Respect for the Aged' day, Yotsuba can give him flowers! For his shrine at home, right? Lots of flowers from lots of places with lots of colours!

Voice

[markofthewise]

Alright, so maybe the Y-thing doesn't really apply here. But I think that's traceable.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

You had the right idea. I can trace this one, but only if I cross some lines I've already made.

I did it without going over any of them again, at least.

[hisapprentice]

'Respect for the Aged' day?

[hisapprentice]

I've just met a lot of "monsters" that turned out to be people trying to fool other people.

Voice

[markofthewise]

Well, you never said anything about crossing lines.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

Yes I did! It's written there. 'It's okay if you cross over a line you already made'!

I suppose I need to practice choosing shapes for this kind of puzzle.

Voice

[markofthewise]

[Okay. So maybe he did. After the puzzle. Sokka stopped reading after that.]

Maybe. But I wouldn't exactly call puzzle making a life long commitment. [Seriously, it's a hobby, dude!] I think they're fine already.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

It's obvious you've never met Professor Layton, then.

Voice

[markofthewise]

There's a lot of people I haven't met. [WORLDS FULL OF THEM...]

[voiced]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah! It's a day where you tell all the old people 'HAPPY RESPECT FOR THE AGE DAY' when it isn't their birthday but you still want to say something to them.

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[hmm.]

What kinds are your favorites?

[ruinedhiswish]

In my world all monsters are real and dangerous.

[ ....Wait. This might be wrong- yes, it messes up the "in the middle thing. She frowns]

[mythbuster]

Exactly so. You would hope the store owner had better sense than to arrange the letters like that, but there's no helping some people.

[Boooo. Of course it's symmetrical!]

They're pretty fun! But I haven't really done many of them before! ♥

[ex_affability656]

Professor Layton, huh? Is he the authority on all things puzzling?

[Voice]

[blessedbyfarore]

It's another type of puzzle! You've gotta get the ring off. [He slides it back and forth on its chains - yeah, it's definitely not going over the horseshoes.] Who's Layton?

Re: Written

[antlioncyclone]

["A lot"? He thought that would be the natural way to approach such a problem...]

Is there another way to find the answer?

Written

[hisapprentice]

Well, sort of. Your way is just as good.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

I once visited an entire village where the people spent their free time making up puzzles.

[hisapprentice]

...Just because the ones I knew were people doesn't make them less dangerous.

[ voice ]

[hisapprentice]

You have your meat in the middle, and I think you should read the part about the tomato again.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

Professor Layton is practically famous for solving puzzles! [And, you know, archaeology.] And I'm his apprentice!
