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.

Puzzle 023: The Broken Clock

ナゾ023 壊れた時計
時間が止まった時計をはずそうと
壁から降ろしたところ、うっかり
手が滑って落としてしまった。
落とした衝撃で時計盤は中心を通って
まっぷたつに割れた。
よく見ると、それぞれ割れた文字盤内
に書いてある数字を足した合計が
等しくなっている。
どのように割れた河川を描いてほしい。

Hazusou lowered from the wall where the clock stopped and time, had accidentally dropped a hand slipped. Watch the impact panel is cracked right in half fell through the center. If you look closely, is equal to the total sum of the numbers written in broken numerals, respectively. I want to draw a river split it?

Notes on Puzzle
A clock has fallen and broken into two. When you sum the numbers on both halves of the clock face, they come out to the same total. You have to draw a line across the clock face showing where the two halves must have broken for this condition to be met. A basic math/counting problem.
