I also have a question that's tormenting me: The one about the mislabeled plates. As far as I could tell ALL of them could be reused. Even the 7 you just had to slightly adjust to make it look like a seven again. What am I missing?

Most of them are symmetrical and therefore can still be used if horizontally flipped. However, the same does not hold true if there is no symmetry.

I really enjoyed this game. I expected the plot to be be mind-bogglingly out there and it didn't let me down one bit. Now to find the rest of the puzzles and finish the storybook and the car and parrot games.

(5) The game is just a bunch of puzzles with Plot Caulk around them, and that's fine. But there's something so insipid about being trained to think logically for hours on end, then being presented a plot so illogical that it makes your scalp hurt. As soon as Layton pronounces that he's FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT… strap in, kids, because the next words that fall out of his mouth were penned by a paranoid schizophrenic. What if EVERYONE was a ROBOT, man? What if we were all living in a SHARED DREAM? THINK ABOUT IT

Honestly, I think that's really funny, and possibly intentional. I mean, we have all these logic problems with answers that have reasonable conclusions if you just think about it, and then the game's stories like to just have these ridiculous explanations that one never could have thought of under normal circumstances.
