(EDIT: My brother has shown me that I am in fact in the wrong. I am a fool, and I apologise to Professor Layton for casting aspersions on his puzzle expertise.)

EDIT: I'm looking at some of the US puzzles now, and it seems that many of the ones that were changed for the UK release originally involved writing letters. Perhaps the letter recognition wasn't very good?

I do seem to remember some issues with the letter recognition, but I also had problems whenever I tried to write the numbers 4 or 6 that it would recognize them as something else, so maybe my handwriting just doesn't translate well to a DS screen.

(Also, I kind of love the idea of Carr, Brooker, Mitchell, and Hammond in a Yellow Submarine type story.)

(I think they were all on the ship for some sort of programme. Commission it immediately, BBC; it would be fabulous.)

In the ocean. The ship he had been in with Charlie Brooker, David Mitchell and Richard Hammond had sunk, and they were all treading water, and the car came CHARGING TOWARDS HIM OVER THE WAVES.
Hammond managed to barrel it out of the way before it hit him.
I would not be entirely surprised to see that happen on an episode of Top Gear. Some sort challenge along the lines of "Jeremy has made another amphibious car and we'll be racing it against a boat! Also made by Jeremy." And both would have Special Celebrity Guests in them, and Richard would end up with the boat, Charlie Brooker, David Mitchell, and Jimmy Carr, and it would sink, and they'd nearly be hit by a Toybota, before Richard managed to avert disaster.
Admit it, stranger things have happened on Top Gear.

"Jeremy has made another amphibious car and we'll be racing it against a boat! Also made by Jeremy."
Jeremy made both of the vehicles? That's terrifying. (Of course the boat sank; Jeremy sabotaged it so the car would win.)
