Clouds and Sky is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

Puzzle

A man sitting next to you on the train shows you a picture he's drawn.

"Let's say the picture has a total area of 10. Can you figure out how much of it is made up of clouds compared to the area that's made up of sky? Don't think you need to guess the answer. There's a definite method you can use to work this out."

How much of the area is sky versus clouds?

Hints

Click a Tab to reveal the Hint.

You never know what secrets the area around the window might hide. Try using those studs stuck around the frame of the window to simplify things.

Open the memo function and, using the studs around the window, divide the picture into 10 squares. There, now doesn't that make things easier?

Compare each square with the others. By now, perhaps you've managed to spot that some of the squares have the same designs as other squares but are inverted in color scheme. Any pair of squares you find like this have the same amount of sky and cloud, right?
But you still have to deal with those other squares that are completely blue.

Solution

Correct

Nice job!

The key here is to use the studs surrounding the picture to divide it up. Once you do that, it should be clear that B and F, C and I, D and G, and E and H are simply pairs of the same drawings with the color reversed. This means that in these eight areas, there are four squares of sky and four squares of clouds. The remaining two squares, A and J, are solid blue, so in the end, there are six squares of sky and four squares of clouds.
