PICARATS 012 [VIDEO]

Mar 15, 2011 20:42

[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... )

[[Well good day, Professor Layton. You have piqued the interest of this girl.]]

I don't suppose we are able to make inquiries for more details surrounding the situation, are we? Regarding the puzzle, that is.

You are allowed but in the form of hints. You may only have up to three though.

Video; usedtherapy March 16 2011, 17:37:26 UTC

Hmm.

Alright, may I please have my first hint?

Video; sorry for the hold-up! profpuzzle March 28 2011, 13:06:53 UTC

Yes, you may. This will be your first one;

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

The elevator's not working? [Frownnnnn. Professah, why are you not getting claustrophobic from being in there??] Is there any way you can contact someone working in the Department Store?

[Video] profpuzzle March 16 2011, 03:53:19 UTC

Yes, there is a telephone in here. I have called the front desk and told them of my situation, but it will take a few hours for them to completely fix it.

[Video] tiercelet March 16 2011, 15:19:53 UTC

You know they're fixing it, though! I guess the technology here can be complicated even for the people who have grown up with them.

[Video] sorry for the late tag and that userhead is beautiful, Kamilah profpuzzle March 28 2011, 13:07:50 UTC

Haha, yes. I am not complaining since it seems as if quite the number of people are solving my puzzles to pass the time.

The man is too short to reach the right button on the elevator. If he's with others, he can just ask them to press it for him, and if it rains, he has an umbrella with him for extra reach. At any other time, he's stuck halfway. [Cakewalk.]

What's a picarat?

video; oh God, I'm so sorry I didn't finish tagging your intro. I just got Layton's voice back ;; profpuzzle March 16 2011, 03:58:56 UTC

That is correct, sir! [Huge smile!] You have summed up the answer quite nicely and quickly done. Critical thinking is the key to success.

Ah, I should probably explain to those who do not know. 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.

video; if you can forgive me for taking so long 8'D sonicthing March 19 2011, 03:25:37 UTC

Well I wont deny that it was rather simple, even by human standards. [Hi, ego talking.]

I don't suppose these points work in this kind of world do they? [Just checking!] So then! What can I get for these 30 picarats?

video; no worries! I take forever too ♥ profpuzzle March 20 2011, 19:40:32 UTC

Ah, yes, you are not exactly human if I remember correctly from what the other Doctor has told me. [Y'know, having two hearts...THAT'S PRETTY NOT HUMAN]

Haha, I'm afraid not. They will only work with me and for that amount, you may be able to get Pokemon supplies such as the different potions, Pokeballs, and the such. If you collect more picarats, you may be able to exchange for items such as evolution stones and clothing.

{Video} asghj I just finished the Mysterious Village :D :D :D used_glare March 16 2011, 03:30:34 UTC

You're stuck in an elevator? That can't be too pleasant.

... and I don't know what a Picarat is, but I would like to attempt the puzzle, if you would be so kind.

{Video} did you enjoy the game? (: profpuzzle March 16 2011, 04:01:04 UTC

Yes, I have to admit that it is quite not. It is a bit small.

And yes, please do give the puzzle a try.

As for a picarat, it is just a type of point system for me and they determine how difficult a puzzle is with 10 being the easiest and 99 the hardest. 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.

{Video} awww yis :D dat professah used_glare March 16 2011, 04:19:43 UTC

That's rather unfortunate. Oh, and please forgive me my manners, sir, for I have forgotten to introduce myself to you. I am Lieutenant Ise Nanao, pleased to meet you.

A point system? Well, that at least makes sense. Now, the puzzle.

He travels down all the way, but cannot do the reverse unless there are people around, or it has been raining... {Thinking face go!}

{Video} gotta love the old chap! profpuzzle March 16 2011, 09:00:43 UTC

Not at all. I should have introduced myself first. My name is Professor Hershel Layton. Quite the pleasure to meet you, Miss Nanao. [And he tips his hat in greeting!]

Take your time. I do offer three hints if you ever need them.

[BIG SMILE] That is correct, sir! It is just as you have described it. The man is not capable of pushing the higher buttons, so he takes the elevator up to the fifth floor then walks the rest unless he has someone to push the buttons or an umbrella to do so.

Very well done. It seems as if you have quite the knack for puzzles.

[video] sorry for the hold up! orz profpuzzle March 28 2011, 13:16:31 UTC

Ah, is that so? It seems as if we share similar interests then. [that makes a happy professor!]

And I do apologize. I should have explained earlier. 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.
