1. Introduction
===============
Professor Layton & The Mysterious Village is a game that is all about
puzzle solving. Most of these puzzles are fairly simple, but some can be
downright challenging. This is a guide to document the 120 puzzles found in the
game, as well as the 15 bonus puzzles.
I will not be documenting the answers to the sliding puzzles, since they are
very open ended, and have no real closed form solution.
Only about 60 puzzles are required to complete the game, the rest are there to
prove your skills as a puzzle master.
There will be spoilers in this so be warned.
