A Token Puzzle is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Last Specter.

Puzzle

It's not safe to walk around an auction house with large sums of money, so this particular establishment offers tokens in exchange for cash.

The heart tokens are worth 5,000, the clubs are worth 10,000, and the diamonds are worth 50,000.

The total dollar amount, in thousands, of the 16 buyers at this table is summed up at the end of each row and bottom of each column. Can you figure out which token each buyer is holding?

• Hint 1

• Hint 3
• S. Hint

Click a Tab to reveal the Hint.

Take a look at each row and column carefully. Is there one that has a total that could only be reached if all four buyers have the same token?

Focus you attention on column c.

The total for the four tokens in column C is 200,000. The only way this number can be reached is if all four buyers have a heard token worth 50,000 each.

Make each token in column C a heart and see if that helps you figure out the rest of the puzzle.

Now take a look at G.

The total for the our tokens in this row is 35,000, and you already know which token in this row must be a heart from the previous hint.

Since the heart is 5,000, the other three need to equal 30,000, which means the other tokens this row must be a club!

Let's focus on diamond tokens now.

There are two diamond tokens in each of the following: column D, row E, column A, and row F, and no diamond tokens anywhere else.

Knowing this, the rest should be a walk in the park!

Solution

Incorrect

Too bad!

You must have a miscalculation somewhere. Check your work and give it another try.

Correct

Correct!

Once you figure out that column C has to be four heart tokens, the puzzle becomes a lot easier to solve.
