PICARATS 020 [VIDEO/ACTION IN SAFFRON CITY]

[puzzling]

[ So, guess who has just found out that today is the best fucking day ever? Really, do you know what day it is today? Do you? ]

[ ...no, it's not just a Sunday, nor is it just January 29th. Gosh, get your head straight, good man and woman, and go look at your calender again!! You know why? Because, it's National Puzzle Day!! ]

[ As most people who know the Professor, they will notice very quickly that he's quite the fanatic about puzzles, so really, this day is just mindblowingly awesome. He will even use the word "cool" for this day. So y'know what, he is totally jumping on this obscure holiday and rolling with it. ]

Earlier this morning, it has been brought to my attention that today is National Puzzle Day. We certainly do not have anything like this back in London in my time period, so it will be splendid if I may celebrate this day with a few others.

For this special occasion, I will be doubling the amount of picarats rewarded for each puzzle solved. Along with that, you may redeem your picarats for prizes and I will send them out shortly after with my Pokemon. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions or concerns. I have quite the number of puzzles behind me so we may do this all day.

Here is my first puzzle, worth 10 picarats to start things off easy:

"Behold is the glorious Eiffel Tower, standing over 1,000 feet tall. It's a massive monument to Paris, but there is a way to make the entire structure vanish before your eyes by using nothing by two coins.

How does one accomplish this feat?"

(( ooc: bringing back the picarat system that Layton has been using since he got here! The higher the amount of picarats, the harder the puzzle is. When you get an answer wrong, your picarats will decrease by a small amount and whenever you solve it, that's the amount of picarats you get. Layton has a bunch of prizes from food to toys to clothes to whatever, so solve solve solve for free things!! ))

Cover your eyes with them.

[usedtroll]

[usedlaserbeam]

And when you're done 'viewing' the Tower, you'll be well prepared to meet Charon as well.

You put the coins over your eyes, of course.

[Have a scandalized France. His Eiffel Tower? Vanished?!]

Why would you ever want to do that?

<sub>[Ah, Layton. You always have great timing. With Holland's Buneary sitting as a quiet little reminder in Coop's coat pocket, he happily takes the distraction offered.]

[Also he really loves puzzles. So there. He grins, glad to see Layton again - it's been a while.]</sub>

Good to see you again, Professor. And the answer should be that you hold the coins in front of your eyes.

[shiromadoushi]

[[yeay puzzles!]]

Hold them up close to your face to block out the view!

[puzzling]

You are correct. If you cover your eyes, the tower will indeed "vanish before your eyes". Very well done.

[ Scribbling this down in his notebook, full of names and picarats won. ] Would you like to solve another, Mrs Mouse?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Yay! [she claps giddily.] Oh yes, professor, I'd love to try!

[tumbled]

You put the coins in front of your eyes, of course.

[puzzling]

[ lmao, what is this even? Is that Japanese in this text message? What is that weird thing with the star after it? This sure has gotten a chuckle out of Layton. ]

Haha. Unfortunately, there is no available invisibility cloak to buy.

Your picarats are now down to 8.

[usedtroll]

wait waht no give me my picaratsjhgfsgjdkha!!

i answered correctly!! o(▼皿▼メ;)oﾌﾟﾙﾌﾟﾙ

[video]

[puzzling]

Correct. If you cover your eyes with two coins, any object will "vanish".

[ scribble scribble down these picarats in his notebook. ] Would you like a harder one this time?

[video]

[usedreturn]

Absolutely.

[GIMME GIMME GIMME]

[puzzling]

Haha, indeed. I will be able to make two trips with my coins.

And that is correct, Yagyuu. You have earned twenty picarats very easily. [ Writes that down in his notebook! ] Perhaps a much more difficult puzzle is in order?

[bookmarking]

That's easy. You cover your eyes with the coins. Everything vanishes.

[puzzling]

Of course. When you do that, everything disappears from your sight of vision, including the great tower as well.

Wonderful job. Perhaps you will like another puzzle?

[usedlaserbeam]

I'd be pleased to try my hand at another, Professor, if you're willing to give it.

[video]

[puzzling]

Correct. When you cover your eyes, everything does indeed "vanish" from your sight.

[ Pulling out his notebook to write down down the won amount of picarats. ] May I have your name, Miss, so I can write it down in my notebook with your picarats?

[Video]

[puzzling]

[ oh shi-- forgot all about you, France. ]

It's just an example. I assure you that nothing terrible will come to the tower if you solve this puzzle correctly.

[ghostytrainer]

yes that would be fantastic! :D

[Why do all people insist on learning her name?]

... Chidori.
