About this blog

This is a gameblog following my progress through the Nintendo DS game, Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute. Mostly I'm transcribing puzzles so I can use machine translation (Google Translate) to help me better comprehend what the puzzles are actually asking.

ナゾ016 変わった夫
ある夫婦が海外旅行に出かけた。
1ヵ月後、帰宅した2人を見た隣人は
妻に対しては何も言わず、夫に対して
「ずいぶん見かけが変わりましたね!」
と、しきりに言った。
だが夫婦は出かけたときと服装も髪型
も体重も全く変わっていないという。
いったい誰の何が変わったのだろう?
ひらがな2文字で答えてほしい。

Google Translate
A couple went on an overseas trip. One month later, a neighbor saw two men went home to his wife without saying anything against her husband, "I changed my appearance a lot!" Said eagerly. Husband and wife but his weight has not changed at all when the hair and clothes and went out. Who will wonder what changed? Want to answer two hiragana characters.

Notes on Puzzle
A couple go travel abroad for a month. When they return their neighbor says, “You really look different!” However, their clothes, hair, and weight haven't changed, so what is the neighbor referring to? The answer is a two-hiragana word. I think there is an additional clue – the title of the puzzle is “The Husband's Changes” so you know the answer has to do with the guy. Once I realized that the answer was fairly straightforward.
