Puzzle 026

 * Name: Bottle Full of Germs
 * Trigger: Tap on the Jar
 * Location: Park Gate
 * Chapter: 2
 * Picarats: 20

Description: A glass jar holds a single germ. After one minute, the germ splits into two germs. One minute after that, the two germs each split again, forming a total of four germs. Continuing at this rate, a single germ can multiply to fill the whole jar in exactly one hour. Knowing this, how long in minutes would it take to fill the jar if you had started with two germs?


 * Hint 1: If one germ becomes two, and two become four, that means that the number of germs doubles each minute.
 * Hint 2: If you start with one germ, the germ will multiply and fill the jar in one hour. Starting with one germ, then, how many will you have in one minute? Read the problem carefully.
 * Hint 3: Let's take a step back and think. Your answer is the amount of time it takes for two germs to fill the jar. If it takes one minute for one germ to turn into two, how much additional time is needed to fill the jar?

 * Name: Bickering Brothers
 * Trigger: Talk to Gordon
 * Location: Manor Parlor
 * Chapter: Between 2 and 3
 * Picarats: 30

Description: Six brothers have gathered around a table to eat dinner. Each or the brothers is prone to fighting with the siblings directly above and below him in age and can't be seated next to either of them. Also, Brothers 3 and 5 got into an argument the other day and refuse to sit next to each other. The eldest brother (Brother 1) has already sat down at the big table and is waiting on the others to start eating. Can you find a seating arrangement that will keep everyone from fighting with each other?


 * Hint 1: Don't spend too much time trying to think it out. Instead, just move those brothers around and see what develops. There are only three seats Brother 2 can sit in because he can't sit next to Brother 1. Plop him down in any one of those seats and move on to Brother 3. We know Brother 3 can't sit next to Brother 2...and so on and so forth.
 * Hint 2: This puzzle would be a breeze if it weren't for the spat between Brother 3 and Brother 5. What a pain they are. Sit Brother 3 next to Brother 1. That ought to keep the little guy in line.
 * Hint 3: You already know to sit Brother 3 next to Brother 1. Next, sit Brother 4 directly across the table from Brother 1. The rest is up to you.

Answer: Going clockwise: 1-3-6-4-2-5 or 1-5-2-4-6-3

 * Name: Find the Dot
 * Trigger: Talk to Matthew
 * Location: Manor Parlor
 * Chapter: Between 2 and 3
 * Picarats: 30

Description: You are holding an eight-pointed shape with a red dot on it. If you hold the shape so that the red dot is in the position shown in Diagram A, then flip it over, you'll see a black dot as depicted below. Now, assume you are holding the shape as shown on the left side of Diagram B. Where will the black dot be when you flip the shape over? Draw a circle around where you think the black dot should go.


 * Hint 1: If you flip the shape in Diagram A, you get the shape shown in the upper-right part of the screen. Try to visualize where that black dot is when the white side is up. Diagram B is just a rotated version of Diagram A, so you know that the position of the black dot in Diagram B must also rotate accordingly.
 * Hint 2: When the shape is positioned as shown in A, the black dot is behind the middle-right prong of the shape. Flip the shape over and you'll see it on the middle-left prong. See how the dot moves when you flip the shape over? Now think about where that dot should be in the orientation showed in B.
 * Hint 3: Moving clockwise, when the white side is facing up (as in the left picture of B), the black dot is two spaces ahead of the red dot. Now you should pretty much know where the black dot is. Just visualize the shape flipping over and you'll have your answer.

Answer: Put your stylus on the topmost point. Going clockwise, move down  three points. This is the answer. The black dot is in the same place as the red dot in diagram B. Looking at it another way, if the shape was a compass rose, the answer is in the South East position. Circle the dot and hit SUBMIT.
