Plaza Puzzle is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Puzzle
- US Version
"So there's a big, old statue in the middle of this plaza. When you take away the area occupied by the statue, the plaza looks kinda doughnutlike in shape. What you gotta do is divide this doughnut plaza into two identically shaped parts using only one line.
"Oh, and before you get any big ideas, the dotted lines shown below won't cut it 'cause they're actually two lines."
Draw your answer on the Touch Screen.

If you draw a circle around the plaza about one-third of the way out from the middle, your line will divide the doughnut into two identically shaped figures that are directly proportional. In geometrical terms, shapes like these are known as similar figures.
