_{[When the camera comes on, Heather's lying on her back on her sleeping bag with Cujo draped over her stomach and a sulky expression on her face. The bandage formerly tied over her eye (looking distinctly nasty now) is crumpled off to the side and in its place is a hot compress, which she's holding gently to the wounded area with one hand. She seems to be holding the PokeGear up above her with the other. Least flattering Myspace-shot ever.]}

So-- how long do I have to keep this thing on?

_{[She's talking to somebody off-camera and judging by the ever-so-patient tone of the reply she gets, which is sort of indistinct but along the lines of 'Until I say you can take it off', that somebody is Otacon.]}

But Haaaaaal.

_{[There is no reply.]}

..... Fine, fine...

I'll just stay here and stew in my misery.

_{[There's a laugh from off the screen and another indistinct reply that is apparently amused at Heather's overdramatic whining and not sympathetic like she'd been hoping. So Heather makes a pouty face and turns her head just slightly so that she can stick her tongue out in his general direction before looking back to the camera.]}

His Dictatorship over there is reveling in his regime of oppression and I'm bored.

Someone please distract me.

_{[SHE'D EVEN WELCOME KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES. THAT IS HOW LOW SHE HAS SUNK.]}

[I DUNNO THAT CLAUDIA CAN RUN PRETTY FAST IN BARE FEET ~~BECAUSE IT'S A FETUS IF YOU JUST LET IT GROW A BIT LONGER IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MOST ADORABLE GOD EVER IT'LL MAKE AN EARTH OUT OF LEGO PIECES AND DESTROY IT IN ITS PLAYTIME AWWW~~]

"Ten candles stand burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesn't extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left in the end?"

[This one is another 15!]

_{[THAT'S TRUE... BUT I'M FASTER! SHUT UP YOU SAW HOW BIG IT GOT IN THE LIKE... THIRTY SECONDS BETWEEN CLAUDIA JUMPING DOWN THE HOLE AND THEN ME FOLLOWING, THAT FUCKER IS DEATH INCARNATE.]}

... _{[The answer seems obvious at first, but her screw-up on the first one makes her hesitate.]}

... Ten. You didn't say they had to be lit candles.

[PUL-LEAZE YOU'RE AS FAST AS DOUGLAS WHEN HE'S DRANK A LITTLE TOO MUCH ~~HEY HEY THAT THING WAS CUTE OKAY? DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SMOKING BUT THAT LITTLE FUCKER WITH YOUR HEAD WAS ADORABLE I'M TAKING IT HOME AND NAMING IT "CHILLY"~~]

Ah, very close, but no cigar. Your logic thinking is sound, however, I am looking for how many candles are there in the end. Please think carefully about it.

[Ahhh, he doesn't mean to make you feel dumb, Heather. He just wants to have her solve it properly. Though that answer of ten did surprise him a little. Most people would say seven at first, but she had some good reason for saying ten. Colour him impressed at the moment.]

_{[.... OH SHIT SON, IT'S GOING DOWN. COME OVER HERE. FINE, YOU GIVE BIRTH TO IT THEN. I'M SICK OF YOU UNGRATEFUL KIDS!!]}

_{[When her answer is proven wrong, she frowns a little and tilts her head, like a confused dog. Whaaaaaat.]}

... Hn.

What's 'the end'?

[YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE EVEN IF I'M 37 DON'T MEAN NOTHING ~~I WOULD LOVE TO BUT IF YOU REMEMBER I AM A MAN AND MPREG DOES NOT HAPPEN UNLESS IT IS OVER AT FANFICTION.NET SO BACK OFF~~]

Well, please consider the question once more. There are three candles that are burnt out, and there are seven still burning. What would happen if you do leave the room and return that morning? How many would there be in the end?

_{[OH YEAH, WELL I KILLED GOD SO THERE. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN SILENT HILL.]}

.........

Oh.

... There'd be the three that hadn't kept burning, right?

[O-OH YEAH? I...SAVED DAMSELS IN DISTRESS FROM CRUMBLING CASTLES. WHAT'CHA GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT? ~~...why did I just imagine Layton going into Silent Hill, come out pregnant and screaming "THIS IS ONE PUZZLE I DON'T WANT TO SOLVE"? /sobsob~~]

Haha, that is correct! The rest of the seven candles were still burning, so they have melted into nothing but wax. So, from there, we know there are only three candles in the end.

That wasn't too hard, was it? For previous answering "ten" and showing logic reasoning behind it, I will reward you with the full 15 picarats instead of the lowered 12. You have actually caught me off guard there, Miss Mason. It seems like you are critical thinking already.

_{[MY DAD IS FRIENDS WITH THE ALIENS AND TOGETHER WE BLOW SHIT UP. .... because it's hilarious and amazing?]

[Heather grins a little, pleased that she'd been able to solve it eventually, even if it took awhile!]}

Heh, took me a bit, but-- yeah. That makes sense.

_{[She still wasn't entirely on top of her game after that fog and all its repercussions... But the Professor's generous offering of the full amount of Picarats, along with the compliment, pull a slightly more genuine smile out of her.]}

Awh. Thanks! Nice to know I haven't totally lost my touch!

[HEY NO FAIR LAYTON DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY KNOWN PARENTS YOU MA'AM ARE A CHEATER ~~...it shouldn't be that hilarious. FF.net why do you hold so many horrors?~~

The Professor chuckles and gives a warm smile.]

Well, it is better to reach the answer slowly, than never reaching it at all, no?

And it is no problem at all, Miss Mason. I am glad to see that I have eased some boredom out of you.

_{[HEY, HEY, ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ALL RIGHT. Because FF.net is just another word for hell, also I should warn you, finding decent Silent Hill fanfic is basically impossible so. 8c]}

Y-yeah, I guess you're right!

And you did, thanks!

_{[She's sincere about that, too-- she wasn't sure she ever wanted to see another puzzle after Silent Hill, but... they are kind of fun. Maybe if Layton had been there to read all the puzzles out loud to her, the whole ordeal would have been a more pleasant experience.]}

[FAIR? FAIR? THERE IS NOTHING FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR. NOW YOU DON'T BRING UP YOUR FATHER OR START FINDING THE PROFESSOR'S BEFORE WE CAN HAVE AWESOME PARENT BRAGGING ~~Oh boy, I know what you mean. I think I found only one good one that is James/Henry, but the rest. fffffff~~]

Then, I am quite welcome. A true gentleman never requests a lady's needs.

And if you do have any more trouble or questions in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than willing to help you, Miss Mason.

[He ain't got that phone entry for nothing. Though phone calls at 4 AM is probably not a good idea...]
