Picarats 003 [VIDEO/ACTION IN ROUTE 30]
[VIDEO]
[The video turns on to what seems to be somewhere on Route 30, though not too far from the exit of Cherrygrove. The screen shakes around for a bit as the Professor is trying to place it on some log and aims it towards himself. It takes a few seconds, but when it is set properly, he nods and takes a seat on a rock. It's quite bothersome to ( Read more... )

...He should slay the dragon and leave through that room. You can't get rid of a dragon any other way!

That is incorrect, my boy. The man has no weapons with you and slaying a dragon without getting killed himself is very low. Would you like to try again?
[Picarats are now down to 22.]

[picarats better be edible >:|]

How about we say that the man was kidnapped and all of his weapons and tools were stolen from him? Will that help?
[Well, picarats are like points, something you can't really hold in your hands. I guess if you like eating imaginary thoughts, then go ahead~ But I heard they can give you stomach aches...]

What if the man waited until the dragon went to sleep? Then he could sneak right by the stupid thing.
[...If I collect enough points, will I get something cool?]
Reply
Almost, but nothing yet. Try to ignore the dragon, my boy. We still have that other door, no? It has to do something about sleep.
[...perhaps...The Professor still hasn't thought it though as what to exchange for the picarats actually...]

How can I ignore something that could eat me? ...The door with the sun? ...Maybe when the sun goes down and the dragon is asleep it's okay to escape. Or it better be.
[Food exchange! Or toys. Toys make excellent prizes especially for young boys.]
Reply
Aha! You're very close, my boy! When the sun goes down, which door will be more safe to escape through? The one with the dragon that will eat the man or the one with the magnifying glass which the sun's rays will burn the man alive?
[The Professor will keep that in mind. He would probably go around just asking people what they would like to exchange their picarats for anyway.]
Reply
Hmph. I don't know what a magnifying glass is but it sounds like a burning mirror. ...Oh! I know the answer! He can go through the door with the mirror-glass because there won't be any sun at night!
[And now have a small smile from Romano, Professor, because he just solved this puzzle and he feels very proud of himself]
Reply
And you are correct! A magnifying glass room uses the sun and intensifies its rays to burn the man, but once that sun is gone for the night, so does the dangers.
[And 18 picarats for you! Forgot to subtract the picarats from the previous answer...oops...But with an extra five from the Professor, Roomano has a total of 23!]
Wonderful job, my boy. Perhaps you would like an easier puzzle now?
Reply
[Yay 23! That's a very big number! brb making picarat tally in journal]
...I want another. [He demands more games.]
Reply
Well, you could say that.
[And you are awesome for doing so~ I should really start working on the CR chart now and list the picarats there as well...]
Alright then. Here is an easier one:
"What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?"
[15 picarats for this puzzle! Go go go!]
Reply
Okay. Is there a secret map to find it? I want to get its treasure. I think the map is with the dragon.
[Easy? No way because it doesn't make sense WHAT CAN'T COME IN A THOUSAND YEARS HE HASN'T LIVED THAT LONG YET!! A thousand... moment... minute...
...He's frowning in concentration now and... ...and... aha! He believes he has an answer!]
It's the letter M!
[Little Romano is excited and pleased with himself for being so smart! That has to be the answer!]
Reply
There is no such dragon, my boy. I'm afraid it was only existent in the puzzle.
[And speaking about puzzles, guess who just got the correct answer?]
And you are correct once again! The letter "m" appears in "a minute" once, twice in "a moment", but never in "a thousand".
[A complete 15 picarats for little Romano with an extra 5! With this 20, he just collected 43 picarats today!]
That wasn't too hard, was it? You got that one quite easily, I have to say.
Reply
Damn it, that's stupid! There should be a dragon...
[43 is an even bigger number than 23! He's never even counted that high before!]
Of course I got it! It was easy, damn it.
Reply
Watch your language of yours, my boy. It is not very gentleman-like to say such foul words in conversations.
Haha, and perhaps that was too easy? Maybe you would like something a bit harder but as hard as the first puzzle?
