List the correct order of the planes from left to right, each letter representing the color of that aircraft. Example (R,Y,G,B,P)
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
The Blue Jet is a good buffer between colors, use it wisely.
Yellow and Green can't touch, so it's highly likely that there both at opposite ends.
Remember that Yellow can no be next to Red or Purple, so there must be one between it.
"Luke, here's my answer."
GRPBY or GPRBY is CORRECT
"Critical thinking is the key to success," Layton says while smirking with delight.
Victory! Now everyone is in the position they should be.

No. 003 Parallel Clocks
This puzzle is worth 20/20 picarats. Subtract 10 if you get it wrong.
There are two resting on a wall adjacent to one another. They both read the same time and even share the same model.

A - 12 AM
B - 9 AM
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Pay attention to the circumstances and what changed the clock's time.
Remember that 12 AM is not the afternoon, it's in the middle of the night.
What's something that most people refrain from doing in the middle of the night, and how can it relate to this problem.
"That should do it."
A is CORRECT
"I think I'm in the mood for another," Layton bolsters.
Yes, clock A displays the wrong time. Who would open a window in the middle of the night? The breeze must have flown in from the early morning?

No. 004 Behind Closed Doors
This puzzle is worth 30/30 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
The door to Layton's room is covered in useless gears and wooden latches. There is a series of items laid out by the gateway to help you penetrate the chamber.

Which fire-based items can melt the door's wooden latches.
3 and 5 is CORRECT
Excellent work, the long leaves of the potted plant make for a safe tool to hold fire. Buring off the door's wooden latches is the key to opening it.

No. 005 Bowtie Blunders
This puzzle is worth 40/40 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
Luke can't stop fussing with his newly strapped bowtie. He keeps grabbing the collar and loosening the knot for oxygen. Layton suggests that Luke could wear one of his old bowties instead. Luke agrees with the professor's proposal but informs him of his picky tendencies.
Here is the list of requirements the bowtie must pass -
It must be blue.
No tiny circles.
It can't have any stripes going side to side, but lines going up and down are okay.
The fabric must be 36 inches long.
Option A = Azure, with vertical stripes, and 1-yard length
Option B = Turquoise, polka-dotted, and 36-inches length
Option C = Cyan, with horizontal lines, and 3-feet length
Option D = Chartreuse, with vertical stripes, and 3-feet length.
Option E = Cerulean, no stripes, and 1 foot length.
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
No tiny circles mean no polka-dots.
Pay attention to the direction of the stripe. It's an easy detail to miss. Think horizon when it says horizontal lines, and then vertical will be obvious.
Remember that there are other variations of 36 inches. It's a pretty hefty tie, but 36 inches does translate to 3 feet. Three feet can also be interpreted as a yard measurement. I wonder which one it could be.
"I've really thought about this one."
A is CORRECT
"I knew I'd get it right," Luke cheers.
Good tie scouting. With your knowledge of colors, lines, and length, you'll make quick work of any fashion disasters that arise.

No. 006 Polishing the Talisman
This puzzle is worth 40/40 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
Twelve beads accompany the precious charm. There is a heart shape gem between every third bead. Cleaning one bead takes thirty-seconds, and rubbing down a heart jewel that doesn't count as a bead can last upwards of a minute. When cleansing the lotus, each petal demands forty-five seconds of scrubbing.
What is the time it takes for the janitor to polish the set of rocks?
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
1. This is an excellent puzzle to draw out; it will help you calculate the situation better and determine how many heart-shaped jewels there are.
2. Realize that the three hundred and sixty you get from multiplying thirty and twelve can be divided into minutes.
3. Remember that a lotus is an eight-petal flower, so that's eight times forty-five.
"That should do it."
Sixteen minutes is CORRECT.
"Every puzzle has an answer," Layton says, beaming with confidence.
Beautiful work. Almost as beautiful as the amulet itself.

No. 007 Battle of Wits (Bishop)
This puzzle is worth 40/40 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
You've just been dealt five cards. You can't see the cards, but the dealer reveals that they add up to a total of twenty-five. The number cards equal their respective number (Ex. Eight of diamonds = Eight points). Face cards such as the Jack, Queen, or King equal an even ten points. You also can't have two of the same card. You're allowed to turn over two of the cards, and you discover a two and an eight within the hand.
How many possible combinations can be made without knowing the other three cards?
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Aces are counted as one, and there are no zeros.
Face cards such as the ten, Jack, Queen, King are your friends. It's an easy ten points you can then add to an ace and a four.
Since you have access to the number five-card, think of all the patterns you can make to equal ten. Then add five to that combination. Also, don't forget that one and four add to five.
"My intuition should serve me well."
Seven different combos are CORRECT.
"A satisfying puzzle indeed," Layton gushes.
Here are the possible combos -
28375= 2528Jack14= 25
28645= 2528Queen14= 25
28195= 2528King14= 25

No. 008 Sibling Showdown
This puzzle is worth 30/30 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
A family of six buys a chocolate cake for a special occasion. Four of the children fight over who gets the biggest slice. In the middle of the night, when their parents are asleep. The siblings take as follows -
The big brother consumes one-fourth of the cake.
The little sister takes a quarter of her big brother's portion.
The big sister eats 2/16
The little brother eats twice as much as his big sister, and four times as much as his little sister.
How much cake is left?
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
The whole cake is made up of sixteen slices. When you cut the cake in half, there are eight slices on each side.
If the older brother took 4/16, then a quarter of that would be 1/16.
To figure out how much the little brother eats: Multiply the amount the little sister eats by four and the amount the big sister eats by two.
"Well, here's my guess."
5/16 or 5 slices is CORRECT
"Professor, I've solved it!"
Yum, tasty. Unfortunately, the parents don't think that catching their kids snacking at this ungodly hour is the least bit appetizing.

Pull out a pad and paper, and start circling! Draw a circle around the numbers to equal a total of fifteen, and leave no numbers left remaining. The circles you draw around the numbers can't be five letters long or one letter short. Circles with a length of two, three, and four are fine. You can't draw them diagonally, and you can't make giant circle boxes, you only can draw a circle around the numbers next to each other.
3.5.5.5.10
2.3.5.8.4

If you're missing any numbers when circling, then you have to change something. There should be no numbers left remaining after you finish drawing boxes.
To make this problem easier, try to make your way to ten or past ten with the numbers at your disposal. Then you can add five to that ten for a simple fifteen.
"Let's she some light on this one."
Six different boxes are CORRECT.
"Excellent if I do say so myself," Layton boasts.

From this knowledge, which order should you press the petals of the lotus in.
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Remember that there are multiple ways to read a message. Maybe there's a hidden one in this problem.
Strangely, these qualities are different from the ones on Aphrodites' Amulet. There has to be a reason behind it. Try lining up the words and see what you find.
If you look at the first letter in each of the words, you might be able to spell out a message. The phrase "Go Back" can be made out, and can be interpreted as go backward.
"My intuition should serve me well."
654321 is CORRECT.
"A satisfying puzzle indeed," Layton announces triumphantly.
Not bad! It looks like you saw the message that's crafted from each first letter of a word. It spells out, "Go Back." Meaning, put the numbers in backward.

Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Don't focus on math, focus on the logistics of the answer.
What would ultimately happen if two pieces of wood fell out every time you took one step. It wouldn't be pretty.
If there are twenty planks, after ten steps, the whole bridge would collapse.
"Well, here's' my guess."
Zero is CORRECT.
"I did it," Luke announces.
Trick question, there's no way for them to get across with all of the bridge's planks falling out.

No. 016 Down the Hatch
This puzzle is worth 30/30 picarats. Subtract 4 if you get it wrong
Before you stands a locked hatch. There is no way to open the device, only a valve on the top, and a password encryption lock. There's a message buried in the snow right next to the barrier, the memo reads: "bI0h7." Using this knowledge, what password should be entered into the machine?
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Don't focus on the valve or the possible codes that could be on the encryption lock. The most crucial element of this puzzle is the key: "bI0h7."
There are many ways to read the mystery code. Maybe one of the methods can open the secured lock.
Look at the memo from upsidedown. Can this random string of letters and numbers actually formulate a word? If you're still stuck, relate the phrase to a familiar name.
"Luke, here's my answer."
Lydia is CORRECT.

No. 017 Throwing Darts
This puzzle is worth 30/30 picarats. Subtract 5 if you get it wrong.
There is a dartboard hidden at the back of the lounge; however, it's slightly different from your standard model. Instead of the points being gradual, there are negative numbers you can hit. The rings go as follows: plus five - outer, negative two - middle, plus one - inner. Baron only gets a total of four points with his lack of hand coordination. You don't want to decimate Baron. Instead, you desire just to beat him with a score of five. If you only get six darts, how can you ensure that your plan works?
...
You can do it!
...
...
You're almost there!
...
Use hints only if you're stuck. Skip to the end to see the results.
Hints:
Considering that the number five is greater than the number two, it's better to start "negative and add" instead of starting "positive and subtracting."
This puzzle might be challenging to visualize in your head. If you're continually struggling to add and subtract the totals, maybe you should consider writing the situation out. Then you could try out various combinations without getting confused.
Remember that the three numbers you can use are: plus five, negative two, and plus one. Don't be hesitant to use them in different orders and experiment.
...
Think a little harder!
...
Come on, you're almost there!
...
The CORRECT answer is below.
"That should do it."
5, 5, 1, -2, -2, -2, is CORRECT
"Every puzzle has an answer," Layton utters, fixing the brim of his cap.
Fabulous work, now Baron won't suspect a thing.

No. 020 Battle of Wits (King)
This puzzle is worth 50/50 picarats. Subtract 5 if you lose.
Download the wooden chess app by Vintolo Ltd. After downloading, boot up the game and choose New - 1 Player. Select hard for the difficulty. Determine your color and put a thirty-second-time limit on your game. Once all of these requirements have been fulfilled, press start.
If you beat the computer player at a round of hard chess, then you'll have the perfect experience to take down Baron.
...
Good one.
...
You're in the home stretch.
...
Hint:
The best way for you to prepare for a chess match is by learning the basic moves. Pawn moves one space ahead, but can only attack a piece on an angle. Bishops move at an angle, and knights move in an L shaped pattern. Rooks can move anywhere in a straight line. The Queen and King can move anywhere on the board, but the King is locked to one space at a time.
The knights and bishops should be your top priority to take out. Try to keep your Rooks, Queen, and King safe. This can be done by watching your back and choosing moves wisely. Make sure your important pieces aren't in the line fire to be taken out.
You're bound to lose pieces along the way. Your goal should be to lose pieces carefully. Pawns and Knights aren't as integral as Rooks of Queens. To remedy this, be patient with your decisions and wait for operable times to strike.
...
Hmmm, interesting.
...
I wonder what it is.
...
The CORRECT answer is below.
"Consider this puzzle solved."
Congratulations, you won!
"A true gentleman leaves no puzzle unsolved," Layton preaches.

No. 021 Fancy Footwork
This puzzle is worth 30/30 picarats. Subtract 8 if you lose.
Luke and Flora are engaging in a cute little shimmy. Luke wants to impress Flora with his dancing skills but struggles to remember his footing. Could you help him out?
The correct pattern of steps are right, right, left, left, right, left. What step would Luke land on after 100 times? This first pattern is just six steps, repeat the pattern until you find the 100th one.
A. Right
B. Left
...
Keep going!
...
Don't give up yet!
...
Hint:
You might want to scribble all the steps on a pad and individually count out each foot. But that would take a long time, and there's an easy way of doing it. Think back to an easy way of solving large number problems.
Since six can't divide equally into one hundred, you should try multiplying six to the closest value and go from there.
After realizing the number ninety-six is divisible by six and equals the left foot, you can easily count the remaining feet on one hand.
...
I see success in your future.
...
Oooh, that might be a good option.
...
The CORRECT answer is below.
"Here it goes."
Left is CORRECT.
"Piece of cake," Luke proclaims.
