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.

You bad person, you. You just knocked off the fancy lettering on Clark's mailbox! Now you have to put it back together. Having just tackled the luggage-in-a-cart puzzle, this isn't very different, except you don't need to rotate any pieces, and there will be blank spots in the panel that spell out the word "POST".

Notes on Puzzle
This puzzle is given to you by a lady whose cart has tipped and dropped all her luggage on the ground. She has a habit of repeating her words when she talks (hence the "Onegai no onegai yo.") You need to rearrange her luggage so it all fits in a neat grid. In this puzzle you need to rotate some of the pieces so they fit.
I only wish my own luggage came in neat squares for packing.
