[Puzzle 010]
[All things considered, Luke has had better days.
It’s a strange and bothersome sort of Monday, isn’t it? No? Best check, because the child in the blue hat going from building to building armed with an array of chalks could end up bothering some a great deal.
What is he doing with the chalk? Well, to the extent that it is possible, all available flat vertical surfaces (within his reach, you understand) end up looking something like this. He has gone absolutely puzzle-mad. In the process of writing he circles buildings several times, dropping to the next line when he has gone around once.
Expecting to solve them? Good luck. Some are from memory but most are just words and numbers coming out of his head. The urge to write them all down is undefeatable. He ran out of paper – his apartmentmates will find the place strewn with loose pages covered in writing.
Good luck interrupting his puzzle-scrawling frenzy. He hasn't even stopped to eat.]
[[ooc: The result of a Katie-influenced desire to be creative in a visible fashion meeting Luke’s major source of creativity. Voila! Your walls are covered in puzzle.]]

["There are ten lit candles on a windowsill. Early in the evening, the wind comes through the open window and snuffs out three of them. How many will be left when the man of the house comes downstairs in the morning?]
[action]
Wouldn't they all be snuffed out by morning if the wind kept up?
[action]
[action]
The answer wouldn't be seven, would it? That seems a little too obvious.

So what's the answer?

Makes sense. I guess I should've thought about that more carefully.
