The Town Barbers is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

Puzzle

A certain town has only two barbers in it. There aren't any other towns nearby, so everyone who lives there gets their hair cut by one of these two stylists.

Looking at these two fine gentlemen, which one should you go to for a haircut?

You don't cut your own hair, do you?

Everyone in this town has one of these two handsome gents cut their hair.
The two barbers themselves are no exception to that statement.

Since they don't cut their own hair, the miserable haircut Barber A received must have been inflicted upon him by Barber B. Poor guy.


Solution

Incorrect

Nope!

Look at the problem again.

Correct

That's right!

Everyone in the village gets their hair cut by one of these two barbers. This includes the two barbers themselves. Because people don't usually cut their own hair, the stylist with the butchered haircut is probably the more skilled of the two.
