Who's Pulling?

2010-05-25T15:13:00.006+12:00

On a hot summer's day, two sweaty people are making their
way up a steep hill with a heavy wooden cart filled with apples

The person pulling the cart tells an inquisitive stranger walking
down the hill that "the person pushing the cart is my son"

However, the boy pushing the cart from the rear responds
by saying that "the person pulling the cart is not my father"

How is the person pulling the cart related to the boy pushing it?

Hint

The boy's statement would seem obvious to the stranger

The person pulling the cart is the boy's mother

The Honest Village

2010-05-09T23:05:00.020+12:00

A boy lost in the mountains encounters a man standing at
a fork in a path leading to two villages in the distance

The boy has heard that everyone in one village only tells the
truth while everyone in the other village always tells lies

Not wanting to get directions at a village where everyone
always tells lies, the boy asks the man where he lives

The man points to the village on the right

Should the boy continue on to the village on the left
or should he make his way to the village on the right?

Hint

The man would point to the same village regardless
of whether he always tells the truth or always lies

Solution

The boy should make his way to the village on the right

Frequently Asked Questions

2009-05-17T14:55:00.031+12:00

What is the password to open the Hidden Door?

The password (a string of both letters and numbers) is unique to each DS, so someone else's password will not work for you

The password can be found by playing the sequel on your DS

You can see what's hiding behind the door here

What are the picarats for?

The picarats basically represent your score for the game

They also unlock (based on the number of picarats) art, music, character profiles, voice and movies in the Top Secret section

Don't worry about incorrect answers as you'll still have enough picarats to unlock everything even if you get every puzzle wrong

You don't receive anything extra (besides personal satisfaction) for finishing the game with a perfect score

Where is puzzle 012?

The puzzles don't appear in numerical order throughout the game

Puzzle 012 doesn't turn up until the start of Chapter Four

I didn't answer puzzle 070 and now it's gone

Don't worry, if you quit this puzzle before answering it, it will turn up in Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack near the end of the game

Can any puzzles be permanently missed?

No

If you're missing some puzzles after completing the story, you have the option of going back into town to get them

Any missing puzzles will either be in Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack or still in their original locations

Can any hint coins be permanently missed?

Yes

There are 31 hint coins that could be permanently missed

Do you get anything special for collecting all 200 hint coins?

No, only the personal satisfaction of doing so

Where is Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack?

You can see where this is here

Why do the letters I write keep turning into numbers

Read the puzzle question again, the answer will be a number

Why is Golden Apple's House locked after finishing the story?

After watching the end of the story, wait until the credits finish rolling then save when prompted to do so

You can see this in more detail here here

Why is Puzzle Master's House locked after 132 puzzles?

The game's puzzle index only shows those puzzles that have been found, so if the last puzzle in the index is number 132, this doesn't necessarily mean that you've both found and solved 132 puzzles

Open the trunk and look at the left side of the top screen to see exactly how many puzzles you've both found and solved

If the trunk shows, for example, that you've both found and solved 131 puzzles, then you have to very carefully look through the game's puzzle index to find the missing puzzle number

If you look through the game's puzzle index and don't find the missing puzzle, keep looking as some players have had to scroll through the index several times before they spot the missing number

Importantly, when you select the save slot to load, this needs to show 132/132 before the Puzzle Master's House will unlock

The Missing Weekly Puzzle

2008-03-29T17:45:00.041+13:00

Shoe Box Scramble

Shoe Box Scramble is a flawed combination of two common logic puzzles (which could be why this puzzle hasn't been unlocked)

Typically, the first version of the puzzle states that three closed boxes each have a different item inside and that each box has been mislabeled by someone

This puzzle goes on to ask how many boxes need to be opened in order to figure out which item is in each box (the answer being that you only need to open one box)

A second version of the puzzle has three closed boxes with one box containing two of the same item, another box having two of a different item and the third box containing one of each item

This second puzzle adds the condition that you may only remove (or look at) one item from any box and asks which box you should remove the item from (the answer being the box labeled as mixed since this is the only box where you can be certain of what both shoes are just by looking at one shoe)

Now here's what the weekly puzzle would've been

The letters on the box signify the shoes inside the box. "R" stands for right shoe and "L" stands for left shoe. However, some careless clerk put the wrong label on each of the three boxes. In order to figure out the contents of all three boxes, you only need to open one of them. Which one should you open?

The configuration of the boxes is set up for the second version of the puzzle while being able to open any box to see what's inside relates to the first version of the puzzle

By asking which box you should open, the question should've specified that you may only remove one shoe from any box

Layton's Solution

That's right. The key here is that each box is mislabeled. For example, if you open the box marked RL and find two right shoes inside, you know that box is actually the RR box. Furthermore, the box marked LL can't contain LL because all boxes are mislabeled, nor can it be the already open RR box. Therefore, it must be the RL box. Now the final box's contents should be obvious. Even if you find two left shoes instead of right shoes in the RL box, the process for solving this problem doesn't change.

Layton's solution talks about just opening a box to see both shoes inside (the first version of the puzzle) and uses the RL box as an example (the box that would've been the only correct answer for the second version of the puzzle)

Neither the question nor the solution can decide which version of the puzzle it wants to be and ends up being a flawed puzzle

The solution referring to the RL box as being an example of which box to open (not the box that must be opened) indicates that the answer should be that you only need to open one box, but this can't be the answer since it's part of the question

Even if the solution indicated that the RL box must be opened, this can't be the answer either since by being able to open a box to see both shoes inside (as implied by the question and stated in the solution), you can open any of the three boxes to figure out the contents of the other two

Professor Layton 2 Sneak Peak

Your look at England is only fleeting

The client ...

... has had better days

Inspector Chelmey ...

... but Luke isn't convinced

All aboard

Two chapters are spent on this train ...

... although Luke doesn't seem to mind

Flora joins Layton and Luke ...

... while a new girl makes an impact

The first village

Granny's portable shack ...

... and maybe a shack franchise?

Stachenscarfen pops up briefly ...

... while Pavel makes a cameo appearance

A shadowy figure keeps watch

Another village ...

... and another tower

Seems like a good time for a rope puzzle

Professor Layton 3 Sneak Peak

Care for a spot of time travel Luke?
