Ancient Arithmetic (Rock Hard Sums in the UK version) is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
Puzzle
An elite archaeological team unearthed a stone tablet in the remains of an ancient settlement. According to one excited researcher, it's a near-perfect specimen of arithmetic homework from the era.
The strange letters represent numbers, while the operators +, -, and = are the same as the ones we use today!
Sadly, the bottom-left corner of the tablet is broken. What should the missing section say?
Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad.
The people of the ancient civilization didn't just create the characters at random. There's a logical connection between each character and the number it represents.
Correct
Correct!
The answer looks a bit like CB and stands for 87, as shown above.
The number each character represents is actually the number of sides it has!
