I’m playing a this puzzle game online called Professor Layton and the Curious Village with Bien. Honestly Bien hasn’t helped on a single puzzle but it’s fine. And I have to say I thought this would be a baby easy game based on the title and art style, but I’ve been stumped on nearly all of them, and I had to use all of my hints. Some of the puzzles I think are dumb and the answers were unsatisfying, but some of them I thought were really clever and I was slapping my head after I saw the answer, and it made me feel stupid. So I thought I’d share three of the cool puzzles I saw.
Here’s an easy one. All you have to do is find out the right seating arrangements so that each person is okay with the person they are sitting next to. This one only took me about twenty seconds to solve so I don’t think it’s much trouble.
The next one took me a really long time. For about twenty minutes I was fiddling around with a calculator and staring blankly at the screen and trying to resist the temptation of using a hint. I asked Bien for help but of course he knew nothing. After I found the answer, I slapped myself in the face and realized the answer was so obvious and I was so dumb. I think that’s a mark of a good puzzle. Here it is:
This is a really good puzzle that really had me overthinking it, trying to recall everything I learned in geometry class, even though this can just be solved with common sense. I’ll be really impressed if any of the kids can solve this without any help.
