PICARATS 012 [VIDEO]
[Hello, good people of Johto! It's been a quite a while to get an entry from this Pokegear! Man, can you even remember who it is? Here's a hint: it's from a man with a top hat! Picarats are 30!
If you guessed Hershel Layton, then you are correct! Add some picarats to your names! The Professor would love to do that himself, but he's a bit busy right ( Read more... )

As to the answer for your puzzle, it's because the man is short, and can't reach any buttons higher than 5. He can ask people to push them, or use his umbrella, however.

[Oh man, look this smile!] And you are correct! The man is quite short so he cannot push the button to reach the floor he needs and the rest is as you know. Critical thinking is the key to success.
[He pulls out his notebook which he always manages to carry around but before he jots down the score--] May I ask for your name, ma'am, so I can record your awarded picarats down?

That really wasn't very difficult. You should think up some harder ones.
[Well, considering this is the professor Luke was talking about, it's safe to assume he's not from her world, either. She really needs to stop giving out her name.] I'm Shiho. And may I ask, what are picarats?

Haha, would you like a harder one then?
Quite the pleasure to speak to you, Miss Shiho. I am Professor Hershel Layton. [And the Professor will tip his hat if this was a video feed]
Ah, I should probably explain. Picarats are a type of point system for me. They determine how difficult a puzzle is; the easiest being 10 and the hardest 99. When you solve the puzzle, you earn the amount of picarats that was assigned to that puzzle. However, if you get the answer incorrectly, the amount drops little by little. If it drops too much, I will stop it at a certain number. This is just my little way of distributing points to those who are kind enough to solve my puzzles. You may then exchange these picarats for prizes, such as now.

... 'S kind of a hard one. I'm not too good with things like that.
[That's Maka's job, after all.]
Someone else is gonna get it before I even try, I bet. [Sooo he's not gonna. CB]

It's not a race, my boy. Everyone gets the picarats if they manage to solve it.

[He goes quiet for a minute or two, deciding to try and take a crack at it.]

Take as much time as you need. I am more than willing to give hints if you need them, only up to three though.

Hmm, that's a tough one.
He couldn't be going up five stares to exercise or he wouldn't take the elevator in the first place... Does it come with a hint?
Reply
And yes, it does. You may have up to three hints.

I'll take a hint please.

Take into careful consideration of what the man might have on him on the days it might rain.

[Mind games. Ho hum.]

Do I pass?

[And he pulls out his notebook from his own little briefcase, always carrying around with him. It's filled with puzzles, little notes, and the scores of everyone's picarats in them.] May I ask for your name so I may record your number of picarats?
