Puzzle 003 - [Audio]

Does anyone know how to train a difficult Pokemon? Er, I mean, I don’t think Hoppip means to be difficult. I just don’t think he…understands a lot of what I try to tell him.

Hm, I haven’t heard from the Professor at all since I’ve been here. I’m guessing he’s really not here, huh? I sure do hope he’s alright…unless he was taken away by evil Sentrets or something like that. Considering I almost had my face eaten by one, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

I wonder how many of you out there are good at puzzles? Why not take a crack at this one?

“A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, 'You brought me the same tea!' How did she know?”

The tea attracted more flies?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

No, not quite. The answer has nothing to do with flies.

[justicereigns]

Did she add something to the tea before the fly landed in it?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

She did in fact add something to her tea!

[justicereigns]

Some sort of sweetener I assume? Or am I still missing a trick somewhere?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Nope! No tricks, that's the right answer! She could have used sugar or cream before finding the fly, and when the waiter returned with her tea, she could still taste the sweetener she used earlier!

[justicereigns]

Makes sense. This something you saw in person or just picked up somewhere?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

The Professor taught it to me!

[justicereigns]

What, the pokemon professor?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

No, no...he's a professor of archeology!

[justicereigns]

Huh. In this world?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Nope! Back home in London. He's really famous for it!

[justicereigns]

London?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Eh? You know, London? In England?

[What are you from some other world or something. =|]

[justicereigns]

Sorry, never heard of it. Seems everyone comes from a different place.

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Places were people haven't heard of London before?

Um, where are you from exactly?

[justicereigns]

Well I am, at least. I'm not sure about the others, but I could ask Kazooie.

I was last on the Grand Line. It's an ocean in my world.

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Who's Kazooie?

I don't think I've ever heard of a Grand Line either. Are you a sailor?

[justicereigns]

Red-head girl who used to be a bird.

I'm a marine. Used to be a captain.

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Used to be a bird?! So they bring animals over here, but turn them human? That's the strangest thing I've ever heard of!

Wow! You must have all kinds of exciting stories to tell! [Translation: I want to hear these stories.]

[justicereigns]

Yeah. She says someone from her world did it though. Skull-face or something like that.

A few I guess. [Translation: Ask questions if you want answers, or he'll never talk. He's not the boasting type.]

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

H-how odd...someone with a skull-face, you say? That sounds kind of scary...

[You're in luck then! Luke is the questioning type.] Can I hear about them? Please?

[justicereigns]

He sounds more like an idiot. You'd have to ask Kazooie.

Err... which parts?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

O-oh, alright! I'll ask her then.

Which story is the most exciting? Can I hear that one first?

[justicereigns]

Hn. I don't know about exciting. Most pirates are too weak to even be much of a threat. I guess the battle of Marineford.
