No. 001 - Simple Addition [Written]
[It's about time to give this device a go. In neat, legible writing is simply the following:]
5 + 5 + 5 = 550
It appears I have my arithmetic out of sorts. However, it would be a shame to scrap the equation entirely. Can you help me correct it by adding a single straight line?

It takes him a few minutes as a result, while he adds up the numbers and draws a ladder and some water. Games have shown him that he's much better at solving these things when he can draw it and see it for himself.
And then he thinks. Games have also taught him to look carefully at how something is worded. So, while he was about to write the thirteenth rung, he decides to slowly write another answer instead.]

Yes, I'm finding it will be easier than ever to share puzzles with this journal at my disposal. My only regret is that I won't be able to take it home with me!

No way. No way. Hershel Layton? Professor Layton? He's here?
...
Did he actually solve a puzzle given to him by Professor Layton?
BILLY IS GOING TO FLIP.
Okay, okay. He's cool. Just. Definitely not feeling a bit intimidated and ridiculously happy and suddenly wanting to hear that really deep voice.]
Well, if you keep it with you a lot... Who knows? I wouldn't know if it'd actually work or not, but it can't help to try, right?
[written]
Indeed, trying is an integral ingredient of success. Until that day comes, however, I'll do my best to fix this problem of puzzle scarcity.
[Meaning he is going to spam Luceti with puzzles forever.]

[And probably die a little too.]
