My New DS Game :)

Some of you may not know this, but before I was a teacher, I was a rather avid gamer. I own a DS lite and PSP, but it seems like they have been collecting dust lately! After being a teacher, it seems like most of my time is spent marking and nagging :)

Today, I decided to give myself a little treat and got myself a new DS game;Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box!

I completed Professor Layton and the Curious Village (almost a year ago!) and loved it, so I decided to get this latest addition... It's mainly brain twisters and puzzles, but it is made very interesting as there is a storyline and the puzzles will help you unravel the mystery. You have to solve the puzzles to move on in the games and there are also other tasks and mini games (there's one with a cute and fat hamster) for you to complete! Thus, it is more than just a treasury of puzzles. How fantastic! I also love the "anime" feel of it... The games has very lovely graphics! Here's a sneak peek for those of you who might be curious or interested...

By the way, this is not an excuse for you to bug your parents for a game console because "my teacher recommended a game"!!! :) When I was your age, I didn't even own a pager! (Please google if you do not know what that is... Gosh, am I really that old?!)

The Warped Wheel In the back of the train yard, there's an old, warped wheel lying on the ground. While no longer functional, the wheel is interesting because, when rolled on a flat surface, it's axle traces a funny patter if you look at it from the side. Can you figure out the crooked path of the axle?

Stacked Glasses

The owner of a four-star restaurant assigns a young waiter the task of stacking glasses in a decorative manner. Eager to please, the young waiter immediately draws five separate designs and shows them to the owner. The owner takes one glance at the designs and, with a look of irritation says, "This design is preposterous! What were you thinking?? Which of the five designs is the owner talking about?

Trees in the Forest

This forest contains four different types of trees. You will need to draw dividers in the forest so that you form four different sections. Each section should contain one type of each tree, and all the trees must be connected either horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.
