Professor Layton Mega Test

**SockPuppet** · 10-16-10

By next week, the third Professor Layton game should be released in Europe as well as Australia (it's already out in North America). To celebrate its release, friendcodes.com is having a special event. Unlike past release events where we hosted online tournaments, this format will be quite different. It shall be ... a test. To make this more interesting, not all of the questions are related to Professor Layton. They might be related to simple algebra, world geography, science, or maybe even about friendcodes.com.

To enter, simply ~~submit your answers here (yes, you're basically submitting all answers to SockPuppet to prevent the leak of the answers).~~ PM your answers to SockPuppet. Once you have submitted your answers, you will receive a participation award based on the number of answers you correctly gave. You all have until October 31st, 2010 to submit them.
