Who's Pulling?


On a hot summer's day, two sweaty people are making their
way up a steep hill with a heavy wooden cart filled with apples

The person pulling the cart tells an inquisitive stranger walking
down the hill that "the person pushing the cart is my son"

However, the boy pushing the cart from the rear responds
by saying that "the person pulling the cart is not my father"

How is the person pulling the cart related to the boy pushing it?


Hint

The boy's statement would seem obvious to the stranger

The person pulling the cart is the boy's mother

The Honest Village


A boy lost in the mountains encounters a man standing at
a fork in a path leading to two villages in the distance

The boy has heard that everyone in one village only tells the
truth while everyone in the other village always tells lies

Not wanting to get directions at a village where everyone
always tells lies, the boy asks the man where he lives

The man points to the village on the right

Should the boy continue on to the village on the left
or should he make his way to the village on the right?


Hint

The man would point to the same village regardless
of whether he always tells the truth or always lies

The boy should make his way to the village on the right

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the password to open the Hidden Door?

The password (a string of both letters and numbers) is unique to each DS, so someone else's password will not work for you

The password can be found by playing the sequel on your DS

You can see what's hiding behind the door here


What are the picarats for?

The picarats basically represent your score for the game

They also unlock (based on the number of picarats) art, music, character profiles, voice and movies in the Top Secret section

Don't worry about incorrect answers as you'll still have enough picarats to unlock everything even if you get every puzzle wrong

You don't receive anything extra (besides personal satisfaction) for finishing the game with a perfect score


Where is puzzle 012?

The puzzles don't appear in numerical order throughout the game

Puzzle 012 doesn't turn up until the start of Chapter Four


I didn't answer puzzle 070 and now it's gone

Don't worry, if you quit this puzzle before answering it, it will turn up in Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack near the end of the game


Can any puzzles be permanently missed?

No

If you're missing some puzzles after completing the story, you have the option of going back into town to get them

Any missing puzzles will either be in Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack or still in their original locations


Can any hint coins be permanently missed?

Yes

There are 31 hint coins that could be permanently missed


Do you get anything special for collecting all 200 hint coins?

No, only the personal satisfaction of doing so


Where is Granny Riddleton's Puzzle Shack?

You can see where this is here


Why do the letters I write keep turning into numbers

Read the puzzle question again, the answer will be a number


Why is Golden Apple's House locked after finishing the story?

After watching the end of the story, wait until the credits finish rolling then save when prompted to do so

You can see this in more detail here here


Why is Puzzle Master's House locked after 132 puzzles?

The game's puzzle index only shows those puzzles that have been found, so if the last puzzle in the index is number 132, this doesn't necessarily mean that you've both found and solved 132 puzzles

Open the trunk and look at the left side of the top screen to see exactly how many puzzles you've both found and solved

If the trunk shows, for example, that you've both found and solved 131 puzzles, then you have to very carefully look through the game's puzzle index to find the missing puzzle number

If you look through the game's puzzle index and don't find the missing puzzle, keep looking as some players have had to scroll through the index several times before they spot the missing number

Importantly, when you select the save slot to load, this needs to show 132/132 before the Puzzle Master's House will unlock
