Professor Layton and the Unwound Future/Weekly Downloadable Puzzles

These puzzles are downloaded using the Nintendo DS's wifi feature so that players can enjoy additional content after finishing everything the base game has to offer. Each puzzle has no picarat value, only one hint and is generally less difficult than most of the puzzles from the latter half of the game.

Caution! This guide contains information about each puzzle including all three hints and the correct answer. If you do not want to see the solution to a puzzle and spoil the fun of figuring it out, scroll down carefully. The answers are hidden within the spoiler tags, so don't peek in them unless you're really stuck!

Puzzle w01

 * Name: Ten-Cent Increments (US) / Puzzling Postage (UK)

Description: Below are 10 stamps with values of 10 cents, 100 cents (one dollar), and every 10-cent increment in between. Your task is to purchase the four stamps that, when used in any combination, can create every 10-cent increment from 10 up to the highest possible value. The examples below show four potential combinations, but not the answer. Which four stamps should you buy?


 * Hint 1: The highest possible value you'll be able to create with the correct four stamps is 150. That's using all four stamps, of course, so which four would that be?

Puzzle w02

 * Name: Sporting Goods (US) / Sports Equipment (UK)

Description: Looking at the sports equipment shown below, an extremely gifted athlete in the group made the following comment: "I'm skilled with all of these, but there's one that wouldn't allow me to perform at my absolute best." What could this athlete be talking about? Check the correct item, then tap Submit.


 * Hint 1: Think about how you hold and swing both a golf club and a baseball bat.

Puzzle w03

 * Name: A Dicey Treasure Map

Description: A treasure is buried beneath the far-left square of the six blank squares below. Place the six dice panels on the blank squares in a way that will reveal the hidden treasure's location to anyone.


 * Hint 1: Place the most eye-catching dice panel above the hidden treasure's location (beneath the far left blank square). Then create an arrow shape with the remaining dice panels. You noticed that the dice panels can be rotated, right?

Puzzle w04

 * Name: Analog Angles (US) / Analogue Angles (UK)

Description: Three times of day are listed below. Which one, A, B, or C, forms the largest angle between the two hands when displayed on an analog clock?


 * Hint 1: Keep in mind that each time actually forms two angles between the clock hands--one on the inside and one on the outside.

Puzzle w05

 * Name: Carbo-Load (US) / Daily Bread (UK)

Description: For a week straight I ate a piece of bread for each meal of the day. I ate four kinds of bread. Mark down when I had each type. I ate four pieces of this kind in this order: morning, morning, morning, evening. I ate two pieces of this type. I ate this kind on four days at the same time each day. I ate this type 11 different times. I never ate the same kind of bread at the same time on consecutive days. Tap each square to switch between types of bread.


 * Hint 1: Since I never ate the same type of bread at the same time on consecutive days, you can figure out right away when I ate 11 pieces of [[File:PLUF_Puzzle_w05_Symbol4.png]] bread.
