Why is this brainlet just buying a case without a camera
I tell the salesman to either stop being retarded and get fucked with his math problems or stop wasting my time and fuck off.

$95
I explain that it is illegal to not just outright give me the price and instead try to give me confusing information
it's impossible even if the case cost a negative amount
This is for all the 95$ people, 90$ brainlets need not apply
This.
If the case is $5 the camera would be $305, and the set would cost #310, which is correct. Since the case costs $5, you'd get $95 in change.
$90 is an obvious brainlet answer. The camera is $300 more expensive than the case, so if the case was $10 (and thus you'd get $90 back), the camera would cost $310 and the set would cost $320, which is obviously wrong.
On the bright side, that's still not as much as a brainlet answer as "I came into a puzzle thread just to complain that the puzzle is too confusing for me and I won't even try to solve it."

The camera costs 300 more than the case meaning you should add the price of the case to 300. Using math than the case would have to be 5 dollars so you get 95 dollars back.

January 2nd
The day after tomorrow. She just told me it was.
The case is X
The camera is Y
Y = 300 + X
X = 310 - Y
X = 310 - 300 - X
X = 10 - X
2X = 10
X = 5

X = Y - 300

As shown in the diagram below, you have one-fourth of a circle. Within this circle is rectangle ABCD, which touches the edge of the circle at point D.
Assuming that point B is located at the center of the circle, how long is diagonal line AC?
10
Why do they use inches even though Layton is clearly British?
Wouldn't it just be 10 inches because BD is a radius and the shape is stated to be a rectangle?
this is just geometry homework what the fuck
10 inches though
>tfw physics major
>got tricked by a trick question in a kids game
It's official, i'm retarded.
10
BD is still the length of the radius of the circle so it's the same length as the shown value.
>not using metric
>when Layton and the series is inspired by the UK
Well they are puzzles, not explicitly math questions, so they are intentionally worded in a confusing way
Jan 1st.
The Brits made Imperial units you invalid
It's deliberately worded to play on your assumptions and be confusing, having a higher level of mathematical ability doesn't help, seeing as it's only basic level maths. It's like the missing dollar problem, the numbers are only there to trick you into thinking it's a math problem when it's not.

Blessed post
We still use Imperial units in some cases in the UK. Stones and pounds for weight, miles for distance/speed, etc.
I did the math and found the camera is $305 and the case is $5. Honestly, though, I don't understand. Before I actually wrote out the algebra, I was a $90 brainlet, and I don't intuitively understand how the answer is $95. Can someone explain to my why it's $95?
The camera costs 300 more than the case. If the case costs 10 and the camera 300, the camera costs 290 more than the case
I get shot because I went on holiday to America
>buying the case without a camera
You are all being retarded here
... How is it even remotely intuitive that it'd be 90?
You obviously want 305 / 5 because they A. have to add to 310 and B. have to be different by 300 an those are the only numbers that do that.
and why didn't that fine gentleman double tap

They change puzzles based on region if required.

You should get $95 in change, surely.
The camera must be $305, and the case must be $5, in order for the specified rules to be satisfied (both add up to $310, and the camera is $300 more than the case).
So if you buy just the $5 case with a $100 bill then you should get $95 in change.
Spite has accomplished greater things

It's $95 you fucking brainlets, how the fuck is it possible to be this fucking stupid?
The camera must be $305, and the case must be $5, in order for both of them to add up to $310, and also for the camera to be $300 more than the case.
So if you buy just the $5 case with a $100 bill, you should get $95 in change.

It's New Year's Eve right now, within the puzzle. Why else are they at a party?
Her birthday is a couple days after that. That makes it add up like this:

Her birthday is January 2nd. Also known as 1/2. Because you write the date in this format (m/d/y) like you'd say it in actual speech (january 2nd, not the second of january).
To sell it back to these morons and get a comfy $5 profit.

I'll tell you for 5 bucks ;)
59 minutes
>Not listing the measurements of time in order of size
dd/mm/yy just works and you know it.
Still exactly one hour because nowhere in the puzzle does it say the second germ can split at all
>half a minute
Time is money too so I'd find a way to do it in 5 seconds
95$
Nothing since bought individually the price is different
Ha. I like this puzzle. I'm too tired to think but there's the thought of it taking 59 minutes because it's just the second step or it taking 30 minutes since you started off with double the number of germs.
> not listing the measurements of time in order of how you fucking say them
Do you say "january second" or "the second of january in the year of our lord 2019"? The first one? Yeah, I fucking thought so.
So you already have the buyers lined up? And you're basically just buying cases and immediately handing them off to your customers for a $5 markup? I'd like to see you complete that transaction in 5 seconds
>>"...the two germs each split again"
I said zweiter Januar actually :)
Why the fuck would you buy a case for an item you don't have?
59 minutes. Having two germs doesn't multiply the splitting speed, just changes the starting situation.
>Situation A: 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 etc. until full (60 minutes)
>Situation B: 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 etc. until full (59 minutes)
So you're only cutting off the very first split (1 minute) from the equation.
It will never fill. Once it approaches capacity the two factions, born of separate creeds, will attempt genocide upon each other.
Yeah but only the ones that come from the original germ and inherit its splitting ability
I say "the second of January 2019". Reminder that your system is illogical.
2nd of January
Congratulations on completely misunderstanding what user was trying to say despite it being a painfully simple statement.
Not true.
>the case costs the price of the set minus the cost of the camera
59 minutes
Hark, good morrow fine sir!
I see you also speak ye olde englishe.
61, it takes two initial 1 minute splits plus 60 mins for 1 germ to do it. Starting with 2, only 61
Algebraic proof of 59 minutes, on toilet roll.
Ok now THIS one is hard
Those are finished products so automating the transaction is easier than in say a restaurant. Buyers lining up depends if I'm in the right tourist area and the right season for tourism. I'd be selling souvenirs too while they're there.
>unironically using division symbol
Fuck you these aren't puzzles these are just math
4/5
I could ask you why you would need to write a proof for something so simple but you also wrote it on toilet paper so I'll just assume you are a complicated person.
That's a fraction, not a percentage.
I was trying to keep it neat and clear, and was running out of vertical space.
Plus I genuinely don't know if everyone in this thread knows what a fraction is.
4/5 * 3/4 * 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/5?
I also don't say the 4th of July, oh wait. Kys
A lot of math is about proving things which seem obvious to
You doomed yourself the moment you turned it over
Never trust a Joker
its 1/5 * 1/4 * 1/3 * 1/2 right?
20%. Any of the 5 cards can be the last to be turned over. So there's a 1/5 chance of the Joker being the last one.
20%
5/53 * 4/52 * 3/51 * 2/50
That can't be correct though since these games are for 10 year olds
I hadn't had my coffee yet, that's actually for if you'll get a joker before all aces. My bad.
100% because the joker is a substitute card and you can just use it as an ace.
It's about making it clear to understand. For some people, algebra is easier to grasp at a glance than word problems.
HINT: Any pull that's not a joker or an ace can be ignored.
If it's a camera-and-case SET, the seller isn't going to just sell the case by itself because then he'd have a broken set.
All the other cards are irrelevant to the outcome so you can ignore them
You're allowed to turn over other cards in between the Aces.
It's $90. The person who wrote the answer is retarded.
DERP
The other cards in the deck don't matter at all and are just filler, right?
We just need to look at the one joker and 4 aces.
X = Ace
Y = Joker
Possible combinations are
>XXXXY
>XXXYX
>XXYXX
>XYXXX
>YXXXX
Only the first one "XXXXY" out of five total is the required condition. So 1/5 = 20% chance.
50% either you do or you don't
Does the deck of 52 have its own jokers? Do these jokers count or does it have to be the one extra joker you put down? Do the 4 aces have to be in a row followed by the joker or can there be a number of cards in between that aren't aces or jokers?
I always say dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Personally I think YYYY/MM/DD is better because then if you sort your shit in alphabetical order it ends up in chronological order too, so I'll be switching to that.
Why don't you change your speech patterns to be more logical, you massive non-autist?
40 - 32 = 8
8/2 =4
4=4
>52 cards
>having jokers
If the case is $10 and the camera costs $300 more than the case then camera would be $310, this would mean that the camera + case set would be $320.
Obviously 1/5
Of those 5 cards, you will turn over one of them last, and which one is turned over last is random.
I tried to play Layton as a kid but I was too dumb for it (and still is) so I just played Phoenix Wright
>Does the deck of 52 have its own jokers?
You would think a board about video games knew shit about games
you have 4 suits with 13 value cards
how do you expect to fit jokers in there
4/5 * 3/4 * 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/5

>I was too dumb for it (and still is)

evidently.
Well, Yea Forums? This should be easy to solve.
59 minutes, right? Because they double every minute. So if you start with 2 instead of 1, you're just getting rid of the first minute. So it's gonna be 59 minutes.
O
Actually you're getting rid of the 47th minute but otherwise you are right
O? As in 0? If it's not mathematics I feel out of my depth.

Magic doesn't exist.
Ah good point. I was thinking you'd have to count through all the different permutations with all the cards, but of course, the other cards don't actually matter.
You're autistic. It's 52 cards plus 1 joker.

Whoever wrote this must be a brainlet at the English language. What shitty wording.
I really don't understand why foreigners just believe crap like this, obviously Americans know what the metric system is. We use it regularly just not on the roads or in small scale construction. Customary only becomes impractical for large applications, so Americans use the metric system in those cases.
Wie neu bist du?
I just came to this thread to say, that I stopped reading Layton OPs a long time ago, because I am a giga-brainlet and they just ruin my day because I can't focus on anything else. I still think, from time to time, about a Layton puzzle I saw on here like 6 or 7 years ago. It may well have been a troll image with the numbers intentionally edited to not make sense, or I may be just that retarded.
It really messes with me, man. I obsess about it all day. I'm obsessing about it right now!
So I will close and hide this thread, OP. I hope you all have a good time discovering the solutions, but sometimes the real answer to this puzzle is realizing the game is just not for you.
Where did I ever say that I didn't believe that cuck?

Fuck off newfag
It was something with three sequences of numbers, and in the last sequence, the last number (I think?) was missing. What bothers me to this day is, I know, in Layton Clown World logic, it was probably some goofy 4-dimensional answer where "haha see all the numbers share the same amount of letters with common animals!! It's obviously 'elephant' aka 8!! You should be able to solve this!!"
I can't go back.
Back to Calc 1 for you
This. When you turn over one ace, it doesn't suddenly increase the chance of turning over the joker. Each ace you turn over is an independent events.

>it doesn't suddenly increase the chance of turning over the joker
It kind of does. There are a set of cards, and you'll always pick one, so by removing one option you make all the others more likely
1
How? If the case is 10, the camera must be 310. If that's true, the case no longer costs 310 (the price of the set) minus the price of the camera.
Can't all camp this place 24/7 like you incel. Been on and off this hellhole for 10 years, never seen this shit or always just subconciously ignored it.

Jesus Christ I am at work and laughing out loud with tears in my eyes.
Nothing has plagued me for as long as this stupid puzzle.
Me and my friends racked our brains for years coming up with stupid solutions, and none of them stuck. Here's one a friend sent me in 2013:
I got one, but it's a stretch.
12311?1213
Pair every 2 numbers into a group
12 31 1? 12 13
Assume the following rules:
The sequence of pairs is 3 units long. i.e.: aa bb cc, aa bb cc, aa bb cc, etc
All of the possible combinations for each pair are already visible
A pair cannot repeat itself in the 3 unit sequence
With this logic, we have two sequences:
12 31 1?
12 13 [??]
where [??] is optional.
The top missing pair can be a 12 or a 13 since it starts with a one.
Since we've already used 12 on the bottom and top, we know that it has to be the 13.
Giving us the sequence
12 31 13
12 13 31
123113121331
[1231131213]31
1231131213

You're a newfag at best, or just a faggot at worst.
incorrect
Yeah, but Bertrand's Paradox is fucking bullshit and you know it. Makes no god damn sense. The double silver box shouldn't be considered.
I googled it now
It makes sense that you have a higher chance to pick the box with 2 gold balls in the first place but I'll never intuitively understand when priors matter and when they don't
Why? I'm in the 50% camp but I'm guessing there's some trickery afoot by the fact that the problem has a name.
Thought of memory addresses when I first saw it
But in speech you'd say "the second (day) of January". Saying "January of the second (day)" doesn't make any sense. Of course that's all moot because dates are written with the longest unit first, year-month-day, just as one would write the time hour-minute-second.
It doesn't specify if you replace the first ball before picking the second. Is that the trick?
this is when you need context as well, it's a children to young adults game so logically....
>this is bullshit because [something completely unrelated to the problem]
Try understanding it first.
You can either do some math involving the box with two silver balls or you can explain it like this:
You picked a gold ball so that means it's either one of the boxes with gold balls in them
But you haev a higher chance to get a gold ball out of the box with 2 gold balls so when you have a gold ball there's a 2/3 chance it came from the double gold box
>moot
who?
Because you are, in essence, tossing out the result and repeating the experiment when you draw a silver ball first, there is a 2/3rd chance that your first gold ball was from the left box.
Word problems.. so fun..

Okay. Assume there's a box with 2 golds, and a box with a gold and a silver. You pick a box at random and pull out a gold. What is the chance the next object you draw is a gold?

I keep telling people that there should be 1000 seconds in a minute (making each new second roughly 86.4 old milliseconds), 1000 minutes in the day, to do away with months and weeks and hours, have 365 or 366 days in a year because unfortunately that can't be changed.
I'd also do away with timezones because you're allowed to open your store at 800mins on a xx0day and close it at 200mins on a xx1day.
But nooo muh imperial time.
Fuckin casuals.
>you can only use each pin once
Then how do you complete a square? You'd need two edges to meet, so you'd need to use the pin twice to form a corner.
Two-thirds.
I know I chose one of the three gold balls already. Because I chose randomly, each of the three gold balls has an equal chance to be in my hand. Two of those three balls are in a box with another gold ball, and the other is in a box with a silver ball. Therefore I have a two-in-three chance of picking another gold ball.
fuck i'm getting old, i'm seeing take .com
rip my eyes
How is this not correct?
make sure to count selecting each gold ball in the double gold box as a separate outcome in your model.
Let me guess.
5 + 2 = 14
3 + 6 = 54
2 + 3 = 15
7 + 3 = ?
If the man stays behind all 3 can swim over at the same time.
The same as the original problem, 2/3rd. There could be one million double silver boxes and the problem would be identical. Now you will respond with bait on how that’s incorrect even though conditional probability and Bertrand’s paradox are studied in the first year of high school and easily searchable if you dropped out.
Dates in shitty m/d format without an 0 leading the m or the d.
So it's 12/31 instead of 31/12
then 1/1 instead of 01/01
then 1/2 instead of 02/01
Some of those are diamonds
>you can only use each pin once
READING COMPREHENSION
You're retarded.
>brainlets saying 50%
Embarassing.
There are six possible scenarios at the start, each with equal probability:
>picking the first box, selecting the left ball
>picking the first box, selecting the right ball
>picking the second box, selecting the left ball
>picking the second box, selecting the right ball
>picking the third box, selecting the left ball
>picking the third box, selecting the right ball
We know the first pick is gold, eliminating the bottom three possibilities in that list, leaving us with three possibilities left. In two of those, the other ball will be gold. In one, the other ball will be silver.
It's 66.67% (2/3rds).
No u
Overlap doesn't count, corners have to be pins
Obviously 2/3rds because out of the 3 gold balls you could've grabbed, 2 have a gold as their neighbour.
What's the Haruhi problem?
Yes, only the corners. If not it's impossible to make 7 squares with 28 pins that dont touch somewhere brainlet
It has a proper name. How is your first instinct not to fucking google it and save both you and the user you asked some time?
