Puzzle 076

 * Name: Around the Table
 * Trigger: Talk to Maya
 * Location: Bookshop
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 40

Description: One day, King Arthur invited a number of honored guests to dine at his tables of tables. Everyone took their seats at evenly spaced intervals from one another. After sitting down, two lovely women in attendance, Guinevere and Nimue, were amused to find that neither of them saw a woman sitting left, right, or directly across the table. What's the minimum number of people that could be sitting at the Round Table?


 * Hint 1: The puzzle isn't too difficult if you use the Memo function to draw a picture of the table and the people around it.
 * Hint 2: Neither Guinevere or Nimue has a woman sitting left, right, or directly across the table from her. Of course, this doesn't mean there's a man in all of these locations, either.
 * Hint 3: First, picture a man sitting across from a woman. There are at least two women, so imagine another man and woman sitting across the table. That's four diners. Now place another man between the two women and someone across from him. This arrangement fulfills the conditions! Draw this image using the Memo function to see for yourself. But, wait! Is this really the minimum number that would work? There must be a way to do it with less...
 * Super Hint: There's no reason any of the diners need to have someone sitting directly across from them. The answer is an odd number.

Puzzle 077

 * Name: Timely Arrivals
 * Trigger: Talk to Horace
 * Location: Chinatown Gate
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 40

Description: "I think my watch is five minutes slow, but it's actually five minutes fast. My friend thinks his watch is five minutes fast, but it's actually five minutes slow! If we try to show up at our meeting point at the same time following only the time on our watches, how many minutes earlier than my friend will I arrive? Also, if I happen to arrive later than my friend, put a minus sign (-) in front of your answer."


 * Hint 1: If you're confused, try looking at an analog clock while thinking about the conditions of this puzzle.
 * Hint 2: What's the difference between the actual time of our meeting and the time when I will arrive? if you can figure this out, you'll know when my friend will arrive if you think about him as an exact opposite.
 * Hint 3: I think my watch is five minutes slow, so when I want to arrive on time, I show up five minutes earlier than the time shown on my watch. However, my watch is five minutes fast, so I'll actually end up arriving 10 minutes early.
 * Super Hint: I'll arrive at our meeting point 10 minutes early. Since the conditions for my friend are the exact opposite of mine, he will arrive 10 minutes late. So then, what's the difference between our two arrivals? That's your answer!

Puzzle 078

 * Name: Rabbit Hops
 * Trigger: Talk to Subject 3
 * Location: Riverside Area
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 20

Description: This peculiar rabbit has a unique method of getting around. He travels 70 centimeters with each hop, but when he lands, he immediately hops 30 centimeters toward the direction his tail is pointing. On a straight line, what is the minimum number of hops it will take this rabbit to reach a spot 10 meters away?


 * Hint 1: At first glance, you might think the best this bunny can do is travel 70 centimeters forward and then 30 centimeters back, for a gain of 40 centimeters every two hops. Can you think of a more efficient way for the bunny to move forward?
 * Hint 2: During the first 70-centimeter hop, there's something the rabbit can do to maximize his next jump. Remember, when he lands, he "hops 30 centimeters toward the direction his tail is pointing." Don't take anything for granted.
 * Hint 3: Imagine the rabbit doing a 180-degree turn in midair during each hop. This maneuver would allow him to move toward the target spot with each hop!
 * Super Hint: If during his first hop the rabbit does a 180-degree turn in midair, his tail will point toward the target spot when he lands, meaning his next hop will take him even closer to the target. As long as the rabbit does a 180-degree turn in midair during each hop, he will cover one meter every two hops! Pretty nifty, but it can make you dizzy just thinking about it.

Puzzle 079

 * Name: Five Swimmers
 * Trigger: Talk to Subject 3
 * Location: Riverside Area
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 40

Description: "The second-fastest swimmer is standing next to the biggest person." "I may have the biggest body, but I'm certainly not the fastest swimmer." "I've got the sweetest swimsuit, but I'm no match for the big B..." "I'm the smallest, but I'll finish fourth!" "I'll beat the person beside me to win!" Who is the fastest swimmer?


 * Hint 1: Let's narrow down the choices. The smallest person says "I'll finish fourth." Take a close look at the swimmers. Swimmer A is the smallest, so he will finish in fourth place.
 * Hint 2: "The second-fastest swimmer is standing next to the biggest person." OK, well, B is clearly the biggest of the swimmers. So A or C fits the above statement. However, you already know that A will come in fourth, so C must come in second.
 * Hint 3: "I may have the biggest body, but I'm certainly not the fastest swimmer." This must be B's statement. Since we've already figured out second and fourth place, that just leaves first, third, and fifth. B clearly states that he's not the fastest, so he must be third or fifth. Now there are just two places left to figure out!
 * Super Hint: "I've got the sweetest swimsuit, but I'm no match for the big B..." It's a matter of opinion, of course, but the only one really wearing a flashy swimsuit is E. You learned that B must finish third or fifth. Based on E's statement, you can now say that B is third and E is fifth. Just one left, now. Who is it?

Puzzle 080

 * Name: Making a Scene
 * Trigger: Talk to Beacon
 * Location: South Bank
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 40

Description: One male is standing in front of a child. Two males are standing behind a female. One male and one female are standing behind a male. A female is standing behind a child. What's the minimum number of people present in the scene described?


 * Hint 1: It's easy to figure out if you draw a picture of the scene. But there's something you need to be mindful of...
 * Hint 2: You know, the puzzle never specified that everybody was standing in the same direction...
 * Hint 3: What gender is the child?
 * Super Hint: The child is a male! Did you figure that out yet? It sure makes things a lot easier, doesn't it? With that in mind, a male child standing behind an adult male, both of whom have their backs to an adult female, fulfills all of the conditions. That's it!

Puzzle 081

 * Name: Diced Dates
 * Trigger: Talk to Barkeep
 * Location: Thames Arms
 * Chapter: 8
 * Picarats: 30

Description: You've decided to make a special pair of dice that can display each day of the month numerically on your desk, as shown by the 12 at the top of the screen below. Each day must use both dice, however, which means single-digit days like the first and second of the month will display as 01 and 02, respectively. You thought you had the design figured out, but the layouts below won't display all the dates. Draw a circle around the one number that needs to be changed.


 * Hint 1: Think about how you can make each date, starting with the first of the month.
 * Hint 2: The way things look at the moment, the seventh, eighth, and ninth of the month cannot be displayed. For example, it's impossible to display "07" for the seventh day of the month because there's no zero to pair with the seven.
 * Hint 3: Have you considered flipping any of the numbers upside down to help you create all of the days?
 * Super Hint: To display 07, you need to change one of the numbers on the right-hand die's layout to a zero. You need most of those numbers, but there's one you can spare if you flip the nine on the left-hand die upside down.

Puzzle 082

 * Name: Wheat Stash (US) / Flour Power (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Segal
 * Location: Black Market
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: To stockpile some wheat in case of a future shortage, you've decided to mill some of your grain into flour and stash it away somewhere safe and dry. You've rustled up three different boxes suitable for storage. Which of these containers will store the most flour?


 * Hint 1: You'll be storing flour, which is basically powder, so you need a box that's both big and deep. Which one best fits the description?
 * Hint 2: If you compare boxes A and C, they're about the same size. However, their lids are quite different. Box B looks too small to even consider choosing.
 * Hint 3: If two of the boxes are the same size, it seems like the one with the bigger lid would be less useful, right? Unless there's another way of looking at it?
 * Super Hint: Imagine all of the boxes upside down. Now which box could hold the most?

Puzzle 083

 * Name: Shelve the Books (US) / A Tidy Bookshelf (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Misha
 * Location: Bookshop
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: Arrange the five books below into the green bookshelf following these rules:
 * No books can go left of the brown book.
 * Only the blue book can touch the brown book.
 * The yellow book goes to the left of the white book.
 * The blue book must touch the purple book.
 * The white book needs to be sandwiched between the yellow and purple books and not touch any others.
 * An empty space big enough for one book must be left next to the yellow book.


 * Hint 1: "No books can go left of the brown book." So this means it must touch the far-left side.
 * Hint 2: The third and fifth rules tell you how to arrange the yellow, white, and purple books. From left to right, put them in exactly that order.
 * Hint 3: The second and fourth rules should give you a good idea about where to place the blue book. However, if all of the books are placed vertically, you'll never solve this puzzle. If you keep this in mind, you'll find that there's only one place you can put the blue book...
 * Super Hint: Follow the rules and put all of the books into the bookshelf except the blue one. Now see that space on the top? Turn the blue book sideways, and it will fit right in!

Puzzle 084

 * Name: Crossing the River (US) / Four Cross the River (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Barton
 * Location: Noodle Shop
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: Four police officers are attempting to chase a criminal across a river. However, their boat can hold only two people at a time. The first trip across takes one minute, but since the rower gets tired, the second crossing takes two minutes if the same person rows, the third takes three, and so on, getting slower and slower each time the same person rows. In minutes, what's the shortest amount of time it will take the four police officers to get across the river?


 * Hint 1: Think of the first two as A and B. One of them rows the other to the opposite shore. Whoever does the rowing gets tired, so make a note of that.
 * Hint 2: After the first trip across, have the officer who didn't do the work row back. Using this method, the first two who came across will each have rowed only once. When the one who rows back picks up the third officer, have the new person do the rowing.
 * Hint 3: After the action in Hint Two is complete, there will be three officers across the river who have each rowed once. One of them needs to go back and get the last person, but it doesn't matter who. They will each take two minutes because it will be their second time rowing.
 * Super Hint: After the action described in Hint Three, you have one minute across, one minute back, one minute across, and two minutes back. So it takes five minutes for the fourth officer to be picked up. There's just one trip across left. If you have the right person row, you should be able to figure out the answer, no problem.

Puzzle 085

 * Name: More Noodling Around (US) / Noodlin' Around (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Pepper
 * Location: Noodle Shop
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: Bowls of plain noodles and pork noodles are lined up in a row on the counter. Switch the food around so that bowls of plain noodles and pork noodles alternate, but make sure they all remain evenly spaced on the counter. What is the fewest number of moves it will take to accomplish the task? Also, in this puzzle, simply switching the places of two bowls counts as two moves.


 * Hint 1: Isn't this the same as the last puzzle? Well, no, actually. It's a little different. Don't be afraid to try out different things.
 * Hint 2: Bowls of regular noodles and pork noodles... Think about how exactly these two dishes are different. Poke around a bit with your stylus, and see what you can find...
 * Hint 3: Whoa! You can just move the pork?!
 * Super Hint: Counting from left to right, move the pork slices from the fourth bowl to the fifth bowl. And...you're done! How many moves was that?

Puzzle 086

 * Name: The Impassable Gate
 * Trigger: Talk to Ward
 * Location: Belltower Gate
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 60

Description: "No one has ever solved the Impassable Gate! Give it a try, if you dare. If you make it to the top, I'll let you pass." Slide Professor Layton and Luke into the top square to solve this puzzle!


 * Hint 1: That green piece is always going to get in your way. You need to find some way of moving it. First, move Professor Layton and Luke over to the left. Then move the red piece down into the bottom-right corner. Now move the blue piece over into the space opened up against the right wall. What's next?
 * Hint 2: Continuing on from Hint One, move the orange piece down against the blue piece so that it fits nice and snug. Now you can move that pesky green piece off to the left. Next, move the orange piece up into the space vacated by the green piece. The green piece is now free!
 * Hint 3: Continuing on from Hint Two, move the green piece down above the yellow piece so that you can move the orange piece up into the square at the top. This is a key move. Now raise the green piece...
 * Super Hint: Continuing on from Hint Three, move the yellow piece up above Professor Layton and Luke so that you can move them left one square and up two squares. Then move the red piece over and beneath Professor Layton and Luke, and stash the blue, yellow, and green pieces in the bottom-right corner. Now the only piece left in the way is the orange one at the top...

Puzzle 087

 * Name: Sam's Allowance (US) / Pocket Money Poser (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Dylan
 * Location: Toy Shop
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: Three boys are admiring a toy car on sale for 12 pounds. Jeff: "If Pete and I pooled our allowances, we could buy this car together in two weeks!" Sam: "Well, Pete and I could buy it in three weeks..." Pete: "It would take you guys six weeks to save up enough." All allowances are received weekly. How many pounds is Sam's weekly allowance?


 * Hint 1: Don't overthink it. Try plugging in some different variables, and see what you come up with.
 * Hint 2: Jeff's allowance is two pounds a week.
 * Hint 3: Pete's allowance is four pounds a week.
 * Super Hint: Jeff gets two pounds a week and Pete gets four pounds a week. Together, that's six pounds a week. They'll have enough for the toy car in two weeks. How much was that car again? And if it will take Sam and Jeff six weeks, hmm...

Puzzle 088

 * Name: The Discount
 * Trigger: Talk to Viv
 * Location: Toy Shop
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: This shop only sells three different items for one, two, or three pounds. If you buy two of the same item, you can buy a third of that item at half price. You bought six items and paid 9.5 pounds. How many of each one-, two-, and three-pound item did you buy? You bought at least one of each, and there's no tax.


 * Hint 1: In the total amount that you paid, there's a fraction. Start your line of thinking from there.
 * Hint 2: The half-price items that result in a fraction are the one-pound and three-pound items. Remember the conditions for getting the half-off discount.
 * Hint 3: If you buy three of the three-pound items, you'll exceed 9.5 pounds if you try to buy a total of six items. The item that gives you the 0.5 is the one-pound item.
 * Super Hint: Your shopping total is 9.5 pounds. If you don't buy at least three of the same item, you won't get that 0.5 pound. If you buy three of the one-pound item, you get a total of 2.5 pounds. You still need to buy seven pound's worth of items, so think hard.

Puzzle 089

 * Name: Photo Finish
 * Trigger: Talk to Shmarton
 * Location: Warehouse Area
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 40

Description: This finish line photo of a race has been cut into strips, which were then mixed up. The runners finished the race in the order of the photo. Who came in third? Circle the answer.


 * Hint 1: If you look closely at how the pieces fit together, you'll get it. Base your observations on things that are easy to spot, like the birds or a person with a distinctive look.
 * Hint 2: For example, the white bird head by J tells you that their strip goes before (i.e., to the left of) the strip with D.
 * Hint 3: A's face appears in the strip with D. In other words, the strip with A goes behind the strip with D. Where is the head of the white bird by person I?
 * Super Hint: The head of the white bird in Hint Three is missing from the photo. From left to right, the strips follow this order: the strip with H, the strip with F, the strip with J, the strip with D, and the strip with A. Now find the person in third place.

Puzzle 090

 * Name: Eye of the Dragon
 * Trigger: Check the door
 * Location: Towering Pagoda
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 50

Description: This dragon's eyes aren't spheres but dodecahedrons. This means that each eye is a 3-D object constructed from 12 pentagons. Though one of the eyes is already made, the other one still needs to be assembled. Which option, A, B, or C, will create the exact same eye when folded together?


 * Hint 1: There are three options. Look for the differences between them. That's where you'll find your answer.
 * Hint 2: You could make your own dodecahedron with paper and scissors...but it's not exactly easy. It'll be faster to find where the model fits together.
 * Hint 3: One pentagon is the center of the eye. Concentrate on the areas cut from around it. Use the Memo function to draw lines between the corresponding areas.
 * Super Hint: Take the center of the eye in C. If you connect the center to the pentagons around it, it creates a pattern different from the assembled eye. You can tell right away because the pentagons close to the eye's center are missing something. The answer is A or B.

Puzzle 091

 * Name: Strange Glasses
 * Trigger: Check the door
 * Location: Mechanical Door
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 40

Description: These two circular images show what you're seeing through your right and left eye. The images were originally the same, but one of them has now been flipped right-left and spun around an unknown amount. The shapes are the same as in the original image with the exception of one, which has been changed slightly. Circle the shape that's different.


 * Hint 1: Compare the shapes one by one. If you're careful about how they look when they're flipped, it's not difficult.
 * Hint 2: If you eliminate the shapes that don't change even when flipped, you can narrow it down.
 * Hint 3: Do some shapes that appear to be flipped only look that way because they've been rotated? Don't be fooled by the rotation.
 * Super Hint: It's a round shape.

Puzzle 092

 * Name: Cave Cover-up (US) / Stolen Goods (EU)
 * Trigger: Talk to Shmelmey or Shmarton
 * Location: Dragon Walkway
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 40

Description: A couple of rapscallions have hidden some stolen goods in a cave. To protect their stash, they're planning to seal off the entrance with some wood. To do so, they need to cut the board shown below into two equal pieces. Where should the thieves make their cut? Draw the answer with your stylus.


 * Hint 1: Try counting the squares on the boards. For two pieces to be equal, they have to have the same number of squares.
 * Hint 2: The board is composed of 14 squares, so each of your two pieces will have seven squares. And you need to make two equal shapes, so you can't stray too far from the middle when making your cut. Try to visualize what the two shapes will look like. That should help.
 * Hint 3: First off, look for two rectangles containing six squares each. There are only two ways of cutting out two separate six-square rectangles from the board. The important point is figuring out how to integrate the two remaining squares.
 * Super Hint: If you make a one-square cut between the bottom-right square and the one above it, you'll be close to solving this puzzle. Look for two bootlike shapes.

Puzzle 093

 * Name: The Mirror Maze
 * Trigger: Check the dark center hallway
 * Location: Room of Mirrors
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 50

Description: Sixteen circular rooms are arranged in a square below. A beam of light shines in a straight line from each of the four letters, A, B, C, and D, and exits through each of the four yellow arrows. Two-sided mirrors in four of the rooms reflect the beams. Each beam passes through the number of rooms listed below its letter. Identify which four rooms contain mirrors and the direction each mirror faces by tapping the rooms.


 * Hint 1: It's possible to make the beams pass through the correct number of rooms using five mirrors, so remember to use only four mirrors in your solution.
 * Hint 2: Light beam C exits without reflecting off a single mirror.
 * Hint 3: Light beam A reflects only once.
 * Super Hint: Light beam B reflects only once. Light beam D reflects three times and exits at the top-right arrow. That should do the trick!

Puzzle 094

 * Name: The Dragon Bridge (US) / The Dragon Walkway (EU)
 * Trigger: Check the spiked ball
 * Location: Dragon Bridge
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 60

Description: The bridge is out! If you don't find a way across this room, you'll be unable to continue on. Can you figure out how to put the four pieces of the Dragon Bridge back together? You can't walk through the spiked ball, so you'll need to deal with that too.


 * Hint 1: The upside-down L goes at the top and the L-shaped piece at the bottom. try to visualize the finished bridge before you start moving the pieces.
 * Hint 2: You need to deal with the spiked ball by moving it off to the left and then sliding it over against the right wall. To clear the way, move the sideways T-piece to the right, then slide the S-shaped piece down to the left of it. Now you can move the spiked ball down and to the left, and if you move the L-shaped piece to the left and up, you can slide the spiked ball all the way against the wall to the right.
 * Hint 3: Slide the sideways-T piece above the S-shaped piece and flush with the left wall. Move the upside-down L and the spiked ball to the bottom center. You can now move the L-shaped piece to the bottom right. Move the spiked ball against the right wall, then move the sideways-T piece to the center and the S-shaped block beneath it and to the left.
 * Super Hint: Move the upside-down L to the bottom-left corner to open up the middle. Slide the L-shaped piece down into the bottom-center space, then move the S-shaped piece down on top of the L-shaped piece. You're nearly done! Figure out the last few moves, and the Dragon Bridge will take shape before your eyes!

Puzzle 095

 * Name: Looking Up
 * Trigger: Automatically triggered
 * Location: The Boss' Room
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: A pile of blocks has been carefully stacked. The image below is a view from the side. the perspective is also rotated in an unknown direction. Gravity is acting on the blocks, so any blocks not touching the ground or a block below it will fall. When you're looking at the blocks from a correct angle, which direction, A, B, C, or D, is up?


 * Hint 1: When you examine the stack of blocks from each direction, can you find any unstable blocks? Look carefully.
 * Hint 2: Try turning the image and looking at it with each letter as the top. Keep an eye out for blocks with blank spaces beneath them.
 * Hint 3: If you look at the stack with B as the top, the small green square beneath the big red square would fall, so B isn't the answer. If you keep looking at the image like this, you'll find the answer!
 * Super Hint: Look at the image with C as the top. Two of the small green squares would fall, so C is also not the answer. The answer is either A or D.

Puzzle 096

 * Name: The Right Button (US) / First Step? (EU)
 * Trigger: Triggered automatically
 * Location: The Boss' Room
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 40

Description: This cell door will open if you simply press the right button. Here's how to find it: Think of the buttons as squares on a grid. From wherever you start, move from one square to another in the direction dictated by each symbol. A star means go left, a moon means go right, a sun means go down, and a drop of water means go up. There's only one button you can start from and reach all of the others by following the rules listed above. Push that button, then tap Submit!


 * Hint 1: The Memo function comes in quite handy in puzzles like this. Directions can be hard to follow when thinking of them as words. Try drawing arrows to help make things easier.
 * Hint 2: Just pick a random square to start from, and follow the directions from there. If you draw arrows on the grid using the Memo function, it should be a piece of cake!
 * Hint 3: So you've followed Hint Two correctly, but you seem to be going in circles... Are you starting from one of the top-left buttons? One of those is the end point.
 * Super Hint: What you learned in Hint Three is all you really need to know. If you know which square is the end point, you can work backward from there to find the start! The button you're looking for is one of the five with a star symbol.

Puzzle 097

 * Name: A Blind Escape
 * Trigger: Check the desk
 * Location: The Boss' Room
 * Chapter: 9
 * Picarats: 30

Description: In the dark maze of tunnels below, you can't turn unless you hit a wall. Following this rule, you need to reach the goal without taking the same path twice or running into any dead ends. Which route should you take? Draw a line to plan your escape!


 * Hint 1: From the start, you can head off in three directions. Try out each one, and see where you end up. And watch out for dead ends!
 * Hint 2: It might look confusing at first because there are so many intersections, but if you eliminate all of the routes with dead ends, you should soon find the answer.
 * Hint 3: From the start, the correct route is not the one that goes up.
 * Super Hint: From the start, the route to the right isn't the correct one, either. Head down to make your escape!

Puzzle 098

 * Name: Slippery Trip 3
 * Trigger: Check the banana peel
 * Location: Warehouse Area
 * Chapter: 10
 * Picarats: 50

Description: Make your way from the start to the goal, but be wary of banana peels. Whenever you step on one, you'll slide without stopping until you hit a wall! Can you find a way through these slippery streets? Tap the red arrows to move.


 * Hint 1: It might seem obvious, but you can't go straight at the first intersection.
 * Hint 2: Go down at the first intersection, and take a left at the next one. Now go for a slide!
 * Hint 3: Continuing on from Hint Two, once you've slid into the far-left wall, go down and slide into the bottom wall. Then take a right and walk until you slide again!
 * Super Hint: Continuing on from Hint Three, at the bottom right corner, walk back to the left until just before you run into the peel. Now go up and slide to the top. The slippery part of your trip is over. It's just a short walk to the goal!

Puzzle 099

 * Name: An Odd Invitation
 * Trigger: Talk to Dylan
 * Location: Scarlet Street
 * Chapter: 10
 * Picarats: 20

Description: A friend sent you an invitation to come over and visit. The wording of his letter, however, is a bit odd... "First, knock on a certain door. Then, knock on the door below and the door below that. Now knock on the door to the right of that one. Finally, knock on the next door to the right. That's my place!" Open your friend's door by tapping it. Be careful not to leave any other doors open when submitting your answer.


 * Hint 1: Try to figure out which "certain door" your friend is referring to, and start from there.
 * Hint 2: If you can figure out which door to knock on first, you should have no trouble finding your friend. There's only one door from which you can follow your friend's instructions exactly...
 * Hint 3: Your friend's room is two doors down and two doors to the right of the first door you're supposed to knock on. Since there are only three doors in a row both horizontally and vertically...
 * Super Hint: Start from the upper-left door, and follow your friend's instructions to find his door. Remember not to leave any doors open except for your friend's when submitting your answer.

Puzzle 100

 * Name: The Lost Number
 * Trigger: Talk to Viv
 * Location: Toy Shop
 * Chapter: 10
 * Picarats: 50

Description: Through the course of his research, Dad discovered a very important number and marked it on a slip of paper. Unfortunately, someone mistook the note for a piece of trash and tore it into pieces! Now Dad's hopping mad, and Mom's beside herself... Perhaps you can figure out the number by piecing the note back together?


 * Hint 1: Did you put the pieces of the note back together correctly? If you do it right, the answer should reveal itself.
 * Hint 2: The number isn't written down. Did you notice there are some edges that fit together perfectly and some that don't?
 * Hint 3: If you line up all the edges that fit together perfectly, the gaps in the middle will reveal a number.
 * Super Hint: Did you notice the number that's formed by the gaps between the two pieces? That's your answer. It's two digits.
