[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.]

Fine. I guess I might as well.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

All right!

[This part is written.]

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.

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.

[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.

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

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

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

Voice

[markofthewise]

... sounds terrible. Don't you hate running into towns full of crazies like that?

Voice

[hisapprentice]

[Wow Sokka. Way to insult the kid. You know he hasn't even been here very long.]

C-Crazies? It was great! You just can't appreciate it!

Voice

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is just kind of a pro at offending people. It's a hobby.]

Well, I guess if you're into that kind of thing. I just kind of like towns with normal fixations. Like. Growing food. Hunting food. That kind of thing.

Voice

[hisapprentice]

A whole town that only thought about hunting food would be just as crazy.

Voice

[markofthewise]

No, because they'd be a village dedicated to survival. Not... staving off boredom.
