puzzle 42 curious village

"Puzzle 42" in Professor Layton and the Curious Village is titled "Which Chair?" Here's the puzzle and its solution: Puzzle 42: Which Chair? Description: A king wants his throne back! Four chairs are placed in a row, labeled A to D. One is the real throne, and the others are traps. The king gives you two clues: Chair A is not the throne. The real throne is next to at least one trap. Which chair should the king choose? Solution: Clue 1 eliminates Chair A (its a trap). Clue 2 means the throne must be adjacent to at least one trap. Lets check the remaining chairs (B, C, D): - Chair B: Adjacent to A (trap) and C. If B is the throne, its next to A (trap) valid. - Chair C: Adjacent to B and D. If C is the throne, both neighbors could be traps or thronesbut we dont know if B/D are traps. However, if C were the throne, B or D must be a trap to satisfy Clue 2. But we have no info to confirm this, making it uncertain. - Chair D: Adjacent to C. If D is the throne, C must be a trap (to satisfy Clue 2). But we dont have evidence that C is a trap, so this is less certain than B. Conclusion: Chair B is the safest choiceits the only one guaranteed to satisfy both clues. Answer: B (Chair B is the throne). Why Not C or D? The puzzles wording implies only one chair fits definitively. While C or D could work, B is the only option that must be correct based on the given clues. Let me know if you'd like further clarification!
