PICARATS 017 [VIDEO/ACTION IN CIANWOOD]
[ Lookie here, check out this gorgeous view of the sea. The way the water is so clear and the sun shining brightly down on it. It seems like the perfect day for a swim and the perfect day to be outside, especially on the beach. Those by the Cianwood and Olivine beach should get out right now and sit right there, just like what the good old

So...I'm guessing the other anniversary has something to do with a birthday? [Yours in particular?]
Reply
Indeed it does. [ C'mon, Merlin, come guess whose birthday. Layton isn't going to say anything unless you do. ]

Actually, the professor should be hearing the flapping of wings getting closer and closer...Surprise! Archimedes the Noctowl comes swooping down next to him.]
I sent him out as soon as I saw the date. Happy Birthday!
[The package Archimedes delivers contains the following: a good-sized box of tea bags and several wooden tokens fashioned after the chocolate hint coins the Professor had been handing out at Christmas. A few spots on the coins are a little burnt, hinting at how the details had been carved in.]
The tea is from me, and the coins are from my team.

[ And whoa, what's this Noctowl here? Layton has just sent out his own to deliver a gift-- oh, this isn't Walter and what are these things that it's holding. Wait, they're tea bags and-- oh, oh my goodness. These tags bags are fantastic but these hint coins... Those are just... ]
[ Check out this giant smile upon the Professor's face. Check it out. ] These gifts are wonderful, Merlin, but you really didn't need to send me these.
[ And a very small pause after. ] Thank you.

[Man, that puzzle was so easy that even Xanxus could solve it without really thinking about it. But that's probably because he's really good at math.]

Correct! In twenty years' time, the father will be sixty and the daughter thirty, thus fulfilling the second half of the puzzle. Very well done, Mister Xanxus.
Will you like to solve another or exchange your fifteen picarats? [ solve more, xanxus, and make layton feel like you're being one step closer to becoming a gentleman. ]

"A poor man was sitting outside a bar when he saw a rich man walk out. The poor man said to the rich man; "I know every song known to man."
The rich man laughed and said; "I bet you all the money in my pocket that you can't sing a song with my daughter's name in it, Sheryl Rivers."
The poor man went home rich and the rich man went home poor. What song did the man sing? Please sing the song that the poor man sang to solve this puzzle."

A year is a long time to be here. As much as this world has grown on me, I personally would not like to be here that long. I would begin to feel as if there would never be a way home.
As for your puzzle. I've missed these little mind teasers.
The daughter would be ten years of age, and the father forty.

As for your answer, you are correct. That is fifteen picarats that you have earned today. Will you like a try at another puzzle?

[He too would like to see London again, though admittedly the peacefulness here is quite nice. All that awaits him in London is madness and death. All the same he'd like to get back to it.]
I do wonder how my staff is getting along without me. [It's not a pleasant picture]
However another puzzle would be welcome. I feel I have not challenged my mind enough lately.

Then here is one that is worth twenty-five picarats this time:
"How many times can you subtract the number five from twenty-five?"

Will you like a more difficult one this time around?

"A tree doubles in height each year until it reaches its maximum height over the course of ten years. How many years does it take for the tree to reach half its maximum height?"
