DS #2002: Professor Layton and the Curious Village (USA)

[azotyp]

Very nice game, something like brain training (logicall minigames) but 100x more playable

 

[Shelleeson]

a very nice game but i can't believe the clock puzzle is wrong.

 

[SirDrake]

i love puzzle games

finally a decent one is out

hopefully some of them will make me

 

[Gaisuto]

does any one get 'Z' and 'S' at the end of some of the game's dialogues?

I get S's, and I think someone else in the thread got w's.

I actually get )'s. Just )'s. It's weird.

What's the currency you won for? There are a few puzzles, where I got the answer wrong at least twice, and thus I earned less of those. I wonder if it will affect the game later or not (ie Bad ending). It made me think of whether to cheat (quit without saving and going back to the same puzzle (which you already know the answer to).

The Picaratas that you won during the game, i assume that let you unlock new content from the bonuss menu in the game, more picarats more content you can unlock i believe. The first thing you unlock is the weekly puzzle download, and there is other two more things to unlock.

NO
The clock game is not wrong.

It says clearly PM/AM NOT 24:00 clock

And as you know a 12h clock counts from 12:00 back to 12:00

11:59 PM
12:00 AM
12:01 AM

etc...

11:59 AM
12:00 PM
12:01 PM

So There isn't any 0:00, you only have 00:00 in a 24:00 clock sheme (Military clock as stated in the game)
etc...

Is it though?


11:10

11:12
11:13
11:14
11:15
11:16
11:17
11:18
11:19

Why should these be counted separately? It says how many times does it display 3 in a row, the time between 11:10 and 11:19 is just one occurrence of this happening.

But yeah

00:00
00:01
00:02
00:03
00:04
00:05
00:06
00:07

^ These times don't exist on a 12 hour clock

Cause it's time passed, so it isn't a one occurrence of the happening, 11:11 is 1 minute later then 11:10 and as you know in a minute alot can happen, And it is a clock

. So, yes it counts

 

[BlueStar]

A lot can happen in 30 seconds as well

If you're going to count the 3 numbers again every time the fourth digit changes why not count them again every second when the seconds change?

Then the answer would be....um....

Actually lets forget about it

Anyway, does anybody know if you can download extra puzzles through Wi-Fi ?

Also, dunno if i'm correct but if i go on with the info i read the Japanese version has 74 or 75 puzzles, does this include the hidden puzzles as well ? (i bet not) I know there are extra puzzles to be unlocked in the JPN version with a code you only get in when you play the second game)

I found a few hidden puzzles and there all above nr. 110, so i assume there are more then 118 puzzles in this game ?
(Some puzzles may be only unlocked when you play the second game (not out yet in the usa))

Yes. There's a new puzzle available for download every week.

I've downloaded (and solved) WFC puzzle of the week no.1

It's fun!

On the clock puzzle 005...
Whats wrong with 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, etc.

I spent ages trying to do it...and gave up and looked it up. AHHHHHHH!

the combinations of numbers you have put are not in a row as it clearly tells you to do
01:11 is an example of a number in a row

Those o'clock hours don't match the requirements. You must count only hours that have 3 or more of the same digits in a row. For exameple, 00:00 (four zeros) or 01:11 (three ones). It seems that the digital clock puzzle is one of the most problematics in the game. Almost everyone I know has troubles finding the solution

 

[steveve]

I see...maybe i'll actully read the puzzle next time

17 times in AM So you have count PM on top of that

17 in AM + 17 in PM = 34

17*2 = 34
