Puzzle 010:

If you manage to find a solution, please let me know and I'll do my best to include it, along with your screen name.

Puzzle 011:

97 rubies.
Firstly, find the lowest common multiple:
4 x 7 x 45 = 1260. There must be 1260 gems in total. Next, work out the number of each of the other types of gem.
¼ x 1260 = 315 sapphires
3/7 x 1260 = 540 topazes
11/45 x 1260 = 308 emeralds
The total so far is 315 + 540 + 308 = 1163 gems
The remainder of the gems are rubies.
1260 – 1163 = 97 rubies

Puzzle 012:

Press all of the buttons to form the digit 0.

1/6 of the hours to sweep skies: 4 hours.
Hours to read away: 3 hours.
For fun and play: 2 hours.
1/3 for work, making a dress: 8 hours.
Driving a herd: 3 hours.
1/6 for creatures' care: 4 hours.
Sum total: 24 hours.

This leaves zero hours for sleep, but the puzzle asked for a digit specifically, so pressing all of the buttons creates the digit 0.

Puzzle 013:

There are 2 cube numbers with two digits, not including 1 and 8 as they would have to be entered 01 and 08, and neither digit can be zero. The remaining numbers are 27 and 64. The cube root of 27 is 3, which is not a square number. The cube root of 64 is 4, so this is the only answer. The answer is 64.

Puzzle 014:

Starting from the bottom-right corner and forming a reverse N: S-T-A-R-S-W-I-R-L.

Puzzle 015:

Puzzle 016:

Walk as far as you can east (the rising light), two fields north (away from the winter birds' flight), left, left again, take the next turn right. Take the next north exit, then take the next eastern exit. Take the next left and turn right and go to the far end of that path. Then turn west (the setting sun), continue until you pass the third field on your left (the corner) and travel until you reach the third field on your left. That is where you need to be.

Puzzle 017

13 fillings.

The quickest solution to the puzzle is to fill all four corner glasses once each as well as the middle glass. The question only asked for the number of fillings of glasses required, NOT the number of times a glass is emptied as well. As three glasses are filled on the first corner, followed by two glasses for each of the second and just one for the final corner, this leaves four more to be filled along with the centre. 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 13. The answer would still be same no matter which order the moves are performed. Another way to answer it is to consider how many glasses there are and how many would have to be filled twice. 9 glasses + 4 glasses that would be filled twice = 13 fillings.

Puzzle 018

Puzzle 019

The quickest solution I have found is 21 moves. Feel free to comment if you have a quicker solution. My solution is as follows:
1) Move the small good tub to one of the empty sand pallets.
2) Move the medium good tub to the other empty sand pallet.
3) Move the small good tub on top of the medium good tub.
4) Move the small bad tub to the empty sand pallet.
5) Move the medium bad tub on top of the large good tub.
6) Move the small bad tub on top of the medium bad tub.
7) Move the large bad tub to the empty sand pallet.
8) Move the small bad tub to the empty orchard pallet.
9) Move the medium bad tub to the empty sand pallet.
10) Move the small bad tub on top of the medium bad tub.
11) Move the large good tub onto the empty orchard pallet.
12) Move the small good tub onto the trailer.
13) Move the medium good tub on top of the large good tub.
14) Move the small good tub on top of the medium good tub.
15) Move the small bad tub onto the trailer.
16) Move the medium bad tub onto the empty sand pallet.
17) Move the small bad tub on top of the medium bad tub.
18) Move the large bad tub onto the trailer.
19) Move the small bad tub onto the empty sand pallet.
20) Move the medium bad tub on top of the large bad tub.
21) Move the small bad tub on top of the medium bad tub.

Try it out with coins or buttons and see what happens.

Great story, so much like the real professor Layton

I think you also forgot to add in Puzzle #017 through Puzzle #019

Oh, consarn it. You're right. I swear I'm getting dopier in my old age... What?! I'm 23? When did this happen?!

Anyway, thank you again, and credit is yours to wield in the appropriate solutions chapter.

256377 I'm sad to say that things only get dopier if your not careful. Of course now I feel like a crazy old coot due to you saying that.... and I'm only 28 darn it.
But I'm loving this story so far. And my fresh new item just came in for use. So you shall have the honor of receiving this first.

Who knows? Maybe we're both completely innocent. Or maybe it will turn into a trollfest, courtesy of .

You might be onto something there, although I've never really played PvsZ. The one character that would go through a conflict for such a story would doubtlessly be Fluttershy.

I am deeply honoured. I shall continue onwards, to make sure the muffin is well-deserved.

A little bit of a teaser for this week's (Friday 2nd March) unleashing: Guess who's back?

Oh, yes. Yes I did!

I've found a new answer for Puzzle 10! The first path would be immediately after the first mouse-to-dog path so that it would not interfere with the frog, and the second path would be in the same place as the original solution. It's a tight fit to be sure, but it still works!

For Puzzle 11, I think I've figured out a much lower number...

See, if Spike has 45 gems total, then 11 would be emeralds, leaving 34.

Then, since 1 out of 4 are sapphires, that would mean another 11 (45 divided by 4 is 11 rounded down), so that leaves 23.

After that, 3 out of every 7 being topazes would result in 18 more (45 divided by 7, rounded down, then multiplied by 3), leaving 5.

So, unless there's a restriction or piece of info I'm missing... the correct answer should be 5 rubies.
