I know this puzzle.
It's kinda bullshit, the answer is M.
M is 1,000 MM.
Don't get it? It's metres. 1 metre is 1,000 milimetres. I got it through sheer luck and realized after the fact.

Correct. I imagine it's not that difficult if you use the Metric system often. The only reason I got it when I played the game originally was because I had been studying for science class on that same day. Pretty funny coincidence. Not a bullshit puzzle when you consider some of the other layton puzzles

I'm guessing 17.
1 = 15, 2 = 16, 3 = 17, 4 = 18, 5 = 19, 6 = 20.
Now it's usually never that simple in layton. Unless it's adding up the letters of the numbers of specific sides he can see, or within X places of the number rolled.

How is 400 the correct answer?
If you have ten boys, they don't bow to each other 90 times, because while they don't bow to themself (obviously), they also don't bow to the same person twice, and the problem says they bow to each person one time. This is a factorial problem I think.

So if you guys liked this I can go to the latest game and take some new puzzles from there.
>>13966235
It does require some math, and you're probably overthinking things. If it's just the students of one gender, in this case 10, then each boy has to bow 9 times, and there are 10 boys. 10 * 9 = 90. Rinse and repeat for the girls and then again for the teacher. Think it over a bit.

There was one fucking puzzle, I think it was in either the first or the second game, that was like, "There's three ladies pulling their umbrellas out of the thing. Without looking, what are the chances that just two of them pull out their own umbrellas?" And so I'm thinking, "Okay, that's one in six, right? 3 x 2 x 1?" Wrong. "Is it three factorial or something?" Wrong again.I was having none of this shit. At that point I went through literally every single fucking number from 1 to 100, and you know what the answer was? Zero. When the game said "just two", it literally meant 'only two of them'. I've never played a Layton game since then.

I know which one you're talking about, but I don't think it's a bad puzzle.
