morons need not reply
10.
Learn to read the question.
bump
9 because the candle at the far right is going to be completely melted by the time you shut the window.
That's a slow burning miners candle laced in internescent particulates.
It will take 7 - 9 hours for that thing to burn out. Who the frick is closing this window, Steven Hawkins?
I'm guessing 3 since the others burn down?
baseballs?
>How many candles
10. You never asked how many candles were still lit.
9. One of the candles goes out without mention of a breeze, we can assume it's because it ran out of burnable length. Thus leaving us with 9, regardless of lit status.
>in the end
0 because we will be compressed into the singularity in the end and everything there ever was will be smaller than a single atom
He has no mouth and he must scream
7 if taken at face value
3 or 0 if it’s a trick question
>3 or 0 if it’s a trick question
Anon it's professor Layton
His middle name is 'the gentleman c**t trickster'
3.
I still remember this one. Such a silly and simple one but its one of my favorites.
7 candles are still lit meaning they will melt eventually, leaving 3 left.
Suck my dick professor c**tface
If the previous puzzle dims your candle, this geometry puzzle may be more to your tastes.
Wait are you saying I get the entire inheritance if I solve this puzzle
[Quit 🙁 ]
>but no one can find the area of the triangle
this guy failed as a father if none of his children can solve a basic geometry problem
150 square meters
whole area: 20x20 = 400
top left triangle: (10x10) / 2 = 50
bottom triangle: (10x20) / 2 = 100
right triangle: also 100
400-50-100-100 = 150
The question is 'can you find the answer'
The answer is 'yes, but I'm too lazy to do it'
Now hand over the estate Hat Boy
and it says which of his three sons get the estate, not the person who solves the puzzle
great job trying to look smart and ending up looking like a moron, moron
The only thing that matters is between quotation marks moron
Have you ever read a will before
this isn't really a puzzle, just a maths problem.
Each yellow triangle is half of the rectangle of its sides so:
10x20 = 200
10x20 = 200
10x10 = 100
Half of the sum of the above would be 250. The total garden is 20x20=400, so 400-250 = 150 m2
But it's probably something moronic like 12 matchsticks because this is fricking Layton.
I tried to do a more interesting solution than the obvious one by treating the central triangle as two right angle triangles, calculating the length of all sides using pythagorean shit and then calculating the triangle directly. But it didn't work out
Layton prefers those intuitive, logical solutions, but any method is appropriate!
Perhaps this was too easy.
Hint 1: Let's review the method for finding the area of a right-angled triangle. You simply multiply the lengths of the two sides that make the right angle, and divide by 2. You can use this method to solve the puzzle.
Hint 2: The only lengths you know for the square-shaped estate are 10m and 20m, so it should be easy to work things out. From the corner to the 10m point is half th length of a side of the square. By drawing extra lines from these points, you can easily find the answer.
Hint 3: It's difficult to work out the area of the triangle directly, but it's a lot easier to find the areas of the three smaller triangles surrounding it. If you find those areas and subtract them from the area of the square, you'll have the area of the large triangle. Although there is an even better way...
trivial using heron's formula
it's roughly but not equal 150 square meters
You can put the two large outside-triangle parts together and that makes half of the square which is 20 * 20 = 400 / 2 = 200.
The small outside-triangle is half of 1/4th of the square which is 20 * 20 = 400 / 4 = 100 / 2 = 50.
200 + 50 = 250, but we want the inner-triangle, so 20 * 20 = 400 - 250 = 150.
The answer is 150. Advanced math is for nerds.
>it wouldn't be a puzzle if there wasn't a trick to it
Someone tell these fricks what a puzzle is.
seven is the obvious answer
>it wouldn't be a puzzle if there wasn't a trick to it
that's why I hate those games. I like puzzles, but these are never actual puzzles, only gotchas.
none because romanians will steal them all
how can people stomach playing this trash? how can people stomach doing "riddle" shit in general?
We're not moronic, anon. The answer was obvious if you thought about it for more than a second.
Which Layton games are these shits from
Currently I'll be posting puzzles from Curious Village. OP is one of the optional puzzles found early in the game.
Ten
I HAFF THREE MATCHSTICK
The end of what? Its a poorly worded question.
yes, that's most of the "puzzles" in prof layton. "ha ha! this thing i said in a weird way could also be interpreted in this very unlikely way! gotcha!"
To be fair most of us would love to make money off of trolling people
Can't fault a homie for living his dream
love this puzzle you piece of shit
I like how no one cared that THOUSANDS of people died just a few moments ago.
If your wife died in 9/11, you'd care more about that than about everyone else who died.
This is where AA, 999, DR, and all the other ilk peaked. Mogged by the eternal anglo.
>the eternal anglo
I don't remember how to do trigonometry problems lol.
I hope New World of Steam is good.
The awkward wording made the intent pretty obvious too. Who the frick says "candles stand burning"?
Umm actually in the collectors edition you find out one of the candles falls over and causes a fire, so you need to search through the smouldering remains of their house to find how many candles are left. $5.99 for the privilege to solve this puzzle haha gotcha bet you feel dumb for not getting the true answer.
lmao what does in the end even mean? end of the task? end of the story? end of the dinner? end of the fricking world (hint: no candles at the end of the world)?
Why should we assume a longer period of time lapsing between "shut the window" and "the end" than between "a strong breeze ... extinguishes two of them" and "checking back"?
Clever nonetheless.
0, 3, 7, and 10 are all correct depending on what is meant by "in the end".
I just realized today that the infamous chocolate bar question only makes sense in Japanese because of their 10-key phone keyboards.
Help this museum guard optimise his patrol! We're going for number of turns, not time, unlike some other people.
A body rotation is a body rotation it cannot be broken into discrete movements.
5?
I'm not confident in this one.
You're not thinking out of the box enough
This is that butthole Layton we're talking about
It probably has something to do with that middle door. If turns don't count while outside then that's bullshit.
One turn (while moonwalking)
I can't think of a way to go lower than 5. Which is obviously not the correct answer because this is layton
2
He should take the money and run. Sell that museum shit on the deepweb and live the rest of his days on an island sipping wienertails and slamming golddigger pussy
The answer is one turn - turn on his boss. Turn on society's expectations. They made a mistake when they decided to trust you, security guard
2 turns.
Don't assume you can only go into a room straight on
Three if he’s especially lazy and doesn’t enter any rooms but just looks through each room into the next, since the layout is open
Or one actually now that I think of it, if turning his head to look doesn’t count as an actual turn
The security guard is going to be turning to the breadline since hes getting fricking fired for being bad at his job
>graph theory
no thanks!
4 turns and then he moon walks out of the exit
If that bullshit flies, then he can just not turn at all and walk sideways and backwards, turning 0 times. Frick you, Layton.
That is absolutely fricking moronic
Nowhere in the problem did it mention time beyond, "You check in a bit later"
Candles dont burn out in fricking 40m if they're lit. At this point you could be asking "how many candles are left if you reenter the room 9 million years later? Zero! Because the world has collapsed and turned to dust!"
Frick you
you might be autistic
>in the end
Do you mean the end of fricking time?
The end of human existence? Is this the last human being on the planet "checking in" on these fricking candles?
Does it even matter??
It didn't even matter
Define "end". In the end, we're all dead so none of us have any fricking candles. This is a poor excuse for a word puzzle.
That's bullshit and you know it. Simply saying "later" does not constitute a proper measure of time nor do we know or understand how quickly these candles will burn for. I have literally left a candle burning all day and was far from reaching the end of its life. This is BULLSHIT.
I'm not gonna lie. When I stumbled over he announcement for anew one, I almost shed a tear.
OP I really appreciate you for making these threads. You're a shining light in a sea of shit
It's just,
It's not the same without the option to draw dicks in the memo
7?
Where's my fricking presents, b***h?
When is the new layton game coming?
>There's no reason the guard should have to enter the exhibit at an angle parallel to the room
>The arrow showing where you enter is horizontal
thanks layton
this
>here's an example of how to do it
>don't be misled by it though, we just put it in for no reason at all
You just got Layton'd
This one was easy. All the malding is from actual brainlets
>XKCD
I hope you didnt forget to vote for hillary
I don't get the "gry" thing
hangry
Is anyone here good with percentages?
>riddle but it's actually just a maths question
I'm great at puzzles but I have dyscalculia so these ones take me a lot longer
other way around
>maths question but it's actually a riddle.
A rule of thumb is that Layton never requires you to actually do math
The switch one did. Even basic shit like multiplications and subtractions is "math"
OK let's say anything above arithmetic then.
This one
literally asks you to find the area of a right triangle
0%
50%? Cause if we assume 1 fails, its a fifty fifty
or is it 1/3 + 1/2? In which case its 1/3 +3/6 = 4/6 = 2/3 = 66,666period%
well im stupid, i misread the question
frick me, its 0% isnt it cause tis impossible for 2 be right but 1 be false
Its 2/3 if you switch because the gold ball is either in the box or it isn't
>possible outcome 1 is all three choose wrong umbrellas
>outcome 2 is all three get their umbrellas correct
>outcome 3 is two get wrong umbrellas
>outcome 4 is two get their umbrellas right but that can’t happen unless the third one has the right umbrella as well
0%
17%?
0, there are no permutations of n letters with exactly n-1 fixed points.
0%. If one person gets the wrong umbrella then someone else also got the wrong umbrella and only one person can walk away with the right one.
Tricky tricky but it's the same amount as pussy Layton gets
0% because it was in Baltimore and Black folk stole the umbrellas
God I wish I was that umbrella rn
0 since if two people have the right umbrella then all three would
0%???
these things always seem to magically generate a shitton of different answers, and make people angry
It's because it's always some visual trick and not a proper question. Your pic has two wands stacked that you'd have to notice. Hate this shit.
Oh, ok this is a parody I justnoticed the rest lmao
there's two more visual trickery things in there
and then there's people fighting over order of operations
Because the last question involves PEMDAS. It stops being a logic puzzle and instead becomes a frustrating example of the fact that a lot of people just haven't been taught long math. People aren't usually so dumb to not recognize there's something "different" with the thing in the middle and they can usually come up with whatever number the person is without their tools, but it always comes down to that multiplication on step 3. Some people apply PEMDAS, and some people don't, leading to two answers.
You would end up with much more unanimous answers if that X was a +.
73 and no I won't explain
>stacked brooms
>stacked wands
>missing broom and wand
73
>hurr the creases in the jacket are missing you forgot to subtract the unknowable value XD
Frick you.
Oh yeah let me just casually do 7x15 in my head. Frick off
Frankly, you should be able to solve 7x15 in your head.
I can but it would take like a minute. Which is a waste of time
better continue posting on Ganker then
that's not a step you need to do, anon...
also that extremely basic math. a third grader could do it...
>7x10 + 7x5
>70 + (70/2)
>70 + 35
>105
>(70/2)
who doesnt know his multiplication tables to instantly know 5*7=35?
You're right but sometimes it's easier to do count-down style like they teach the nignogs in common core.
>other classes got colorful arithmetic books with loads of stories and a sum they had to solve here and there
>my class was stuck with a grump 60 yo teacher that just gave you sheets of triple digit multiplications you had to solve, and if you made more than 2 mistakes in the 30 or so sums, you were given another sheet and you had to start over
Who learned better?
in secondary school we had to take arithmetic classes since the national skill was declining so much. I was pretty much the only person of my class to pass the introduction test within the time limit and i had the least mistakes.
anon was just flexing his rad division skills
inderestng
24
x+y*2z
4+15*2*7
4+15*2*7
4+15*14
4+210
214
The answer is 214.
>in the end
Eventually all the candles burn out, so 0 🙂
Is there a way to play the android Layton ports without Bluestacks?
>how many candles do (you) have left in the end?
I currently own zero candles, so zero.
I might buy some before I die though 🙁
I feel like Layton puzzles started out clever but then devolved into this bullshit pretty quickly and it became the prominent kind of puzzle.
>In the end
Is a shitty measure of time. In the end of what? The meal you ate? The night? The week? Would you not presumable blow out candles after eating a meal instead of leaving unattended candle fires in a room?
Why am I so much better a puzzles than my twin brother? We did similarly in school.
maybe hes the brawn to your brains anon
I'm stronger than him. And I've been like a 100 more fights than he has
>I've been like a 100 more fights than he has
ah, i see. taking all the opportunities before he could to prevent him reaching his full potential and being strong enough to kill you
had you both been in the same number of fights, hed probably be way stronger than you
Enough counting and numbers, let us do some drawing!
Bros I did it I don't have autism!
Congratulations, you have au- *ahem* artistic merit. A gentleman watches his pronounciation...
Hint 1: You might think that this puzzle is impossible, but rest assured, it's not. The first thing you should try to do is connect any pair of blocks. That'll limit where your next path can go. B's route is shortest. Try enough times and you're sure to figure it out.
Hint 2: The path between the b blocks is a straight line. D goes around to the north.
Hint 3: As stated earlier, connect the pair of b blocks with a straight line. Then connect the d blocks by drawing a path that arcs up over the b block path. A goes south then east. Got it now?
what kind of butthole puts his house in the middle of a street
OUR HOUSE
IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STREET
I feel like there could be more potential mindfrickery with a puzzle like this if it emphasized the time it takes for each person to leave the house and differentiated between home and workplace
>later
>in the end
nice riddle, dipshit
I feel like you have to have some sort of autism to get unironically mad at this. These are basic ass children's book tier riddles that they used to give us all the time as kids. Once you realize there's always some kind of troll aspect to the question they all become simple to understand. It's not a legal document that needs a clearly defined 100 page set of instructions or else you start having grumpy dumpies.
>Once you realize there's always some kind of troll aspect to the question they all become simple to understand.
Puzzles that require completely arbitrary context outwith the puzzle itself are not good puzzles. If I need to interpret the wording in a moronic way for the solution to work, then that should have been highlighted. Otherwise, I'm going to take the wording as given as if I understand basic english.
Because it's pretty fricking stupid. Sure you have all the time in the world to solve it, but did the OP mention anything about time? As far as I'm concerned it's 10 candles because it takes me about 20 minutes to eat the biggest meals I make and no candle is burning itself out in only 20 minutes, this shit is moronic.
>Buy a game thinking I'm going to get clever puzzles that make me think
>The answer is arbitrary wordplay
>Almost every single fricking puzzle
That's why I'm mad. "in the end" he would have re-lit the remaining three candles the next night and they would have burned out so they answer should be 0 if you're going with that moronic logic.
0, all of them will decay eventually.
That was a good intermission, now back to a classic number puzzle.
they're both 6
6-2=4
6+2=8
4-1=3
8+1=9
You people are number crunchers. I need to trip you up with one of those proper riddles, the ones without maths or number answers...
Hint 1: Let's see if we can't pare this puzzle down a bit. When you take two years away from the brother's age and add them to the big sister's, she becomes twice his age. Additionally, when you take three years away from the brother and give them to the sister, she becomes three times older than he is.
Hint 2: You could try and solve this with an algebraic equation, but that's no way to tackle a puzzle! Try to reason your way through this one. Move two years from the brother's age, and the difference in age becomes four years. Move three years, and the difference widens to six years. Four years makes the sister twice as old as the boy. Six years makes her three times as old.
Hint 3: The brother and sister were born in the same year.
>You could try and solve this with an algebraic equation, but that's no way to tackle a puzzle
then write a better puzzle you hack
i didn't know i was in the coffin thread
>common core math
This is why public education is a laughingstock compared to home schooling.
I was going to ask, why would it not teach people the equation method?
That's simply too easy Mr. Layton.
They're both six.
The answer is incest
both are 6
op these were too math-y
you literally only asked one proper riddle, the first one
I thank you for the effort but I will opt out of the thread now
I have no shame in admitting i'm too much of a brainlet for Layton. All this outside of the box thinking isn't just for me, and most of layton puzzles are like that.
Guess no kino for me.
The puzzles aren't that hard outside some of the bonus ones. You can always burn hint coins if you're really stuck since most of them will help you solve the puzzles except for the harder sliding puzzles.
You do not have to solve every puzzle you come across (although a true gentleman always tries), nor is there any shame in using hint coins. If you explore for coins in the first few chapters, you should have enough to finish the story.
I lost the comic of layton having all sorts of sexually suggestive puzzles. So you'll have to do with this one
you're in the blue house
The answer as it is worded is 10
What a fricking moronic game.
An easier puzzle of a similar format exists in CV, but it needs a number answer, and the anons present seem skilled enough anyway. Your math skills won't save you now.
C
I didn't read the statements but the fat frick clearly did it
C ate them
D is telling the truth
If A is telling the truth, C and D are also telling the truth.
If B is telling the truth, C is also telling the truth.
If C is telling the truth then D's statement would have to be a lie, meaning that B would be telling the truth.
D must be telling the truth, making C's statement a lie. C ate them.
B that fat frick ate the sausages.
C, I think?
If A is telling the truth then
>B ate them
>D didn't eat them
>C ate them
>B is telling the truth
Obviously a paradox
If B is telling the truth
>B didn't eat them
>D ate them
>C ate them
>B is telling the truth
Two people ate, it's false
If C is telling the truth
>B didn't eat them
>D didn't eat them
>C didn't eat them
>B is telling the truth
Paradox with B telling the truth
If D is telling the truth (he is)
>B didn't eat them
>D didn't eat them
>C ate them
>B is lying
All true, C is the sausage gobbler
B telling the truth isn’t a paradox since it still implicates C since he’s a liar
Logically B did it, but the answer here is C. C is the only kid who didn't try to blame one of the other kids.
>in the end
In the end of what? The puzzle isn't solvable with tihs undefined variable.
>in the END
>it doesn't even MATTER
Still 10 candles
In the end of what? You didn't specify what the "end" was referring to. If the question is by the end of the action of closing the window he'd still have 10 candles.
Are they having dinner? How many candles would be there after they end their dinner? Still 10, those are candles not matches.
The end of times? The end of their marriage? The end of the night? So many variables you'd have to take into account. Their composition, the melting point (higher melting point means the candle takes longer to burn out), the current length of the candles. All this doesn't matter if the question refers to the end of times, but if the 'end' refers to a shorter span of time he could end with 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0.
you still have 10 candles as there's no mention of flames being left but candles, weak lame gay.
There are so many small variations of chess queen puzzles in CV, I thought I should have the first three in one post, which I cobbled together right now with images from the wiki. Please forgive the quality. Consider this your 'boss' for today.
Too Many Queens 1/2/3 (20/40/60 Picarats):
In chess, the queen can move the full length of the board diagonally, vertically, and horizontally.
#1: See if you can place four queens on this 4x4 chessboard. There's a catch though! You must arrange the pieces so that no queen blocks another's line of movement.
#2: See if you can place five queens on this 5x5 chessboard. [Same catch as #1.]
#3: Let's try something a little different this time. See if you can arrange three queens on this 5x5 chessboard so that no more pieces can be placed on the board. Make sure you place the pieces so that no queen blocks another's line of movement.
You can provide your answer(s) in image form, or by stating the positions of the queens in text form.
Good luck!
here's your gay answers.
Your image will work as the solution pic. Well done, and thank you. Now to dump all these:
TMQ #1
Hint 1: It's not like you have to solve the puzzle in a limited number of moves, so go ahead and check out all the possibilities. Here's a tip: try arranging the pieces in a way that allows for a line of symmetry between them.
Hint 2: The four corner spaces on the board should be left unoccupied. The four pieces will form a perfectly symmetrical shape.
Hint 3: You don't need to place any pieces in the four center squares of the board either. Now that you've eliminated those spaces and the corner spaces, you should have a pretty good idea about where your pieces should go.
TMQ #2
Hint 1: Here's a hint to get you started: place one queen in the dead center of the board.
Hint 2: Once you place one piece in the board's center, you'll only have four pieces left to place. The remaining four pieces will surround the center in a symmetrical shape.
Hint 3: Don't put any pieces in the four corner spaces of the board. You can also ignore the eight spaces directly surrounding the center space.
TMQ #3
Hint 1: This one's a bit of a puzzler, but if you check everything thoroughly, you'll find the answer sooner or later. Don't put anything in the center square. Remember that you have to arrange the pieces so that no queen blocks another's line of movement. Even if you think you've got the answer, if one of your queens turns red, it means that you haven't got the placement just right yet.
Hint 2: One of your three queens needs to go in a corner space.
Hint 3: Two of your queens need to be placed within the eight squares that directly surround the center space.
Solution quotes:
#1: Chess queen problems like this one have been around for over a century. This is a relatively simple variation of this type of puzzle. Consider it an introduction to the genre.
#2: This one was a bit tougher than the 4x4 version, wasn't it? There's more than one answer for this puzzle, so if you really want a challenge, search for alternate solutions.
#3: Some people probably stumbled across the answer to this puzzle while they were working through the 5x5 chess problem.
And I'm done. Thank you all for participating. I'll see you at my new game when it finally releases.
Thank you anon. Go frick yourself Layton.
High quality thread anon. Guess I'll need to check out some Layton games.
Can't be bothered with the last one
60 picarats for you. Worse than 120, but better than nothing.
I just started phoenix wright vs professor layton. Why don't more people talk about this game, this was like a dream game as a teen, but never really got a 3ds
they talked about it as a teen a lot in the west so much so that everyone had heard of it and you lived under a rock if you didn't hear about it.
Wasn’t it brought over to the west until way later. I think that’s what killed any hype
Zero. There are no candles, in the end. Only death.
