Balancing Ornaments is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Puzzle
Small ornaments dangle from a metal bar, and they've thrown the bar off balance.
- US Version
The five ornament strings are spaced equally apart, and each of the three types of ornaments weight a different amount. The heaviest ornament weights the same as three of the lightest ones, while a medium ornament weights the same as two of the lightest ornaments.
Place one of the three ornaments in the rectangle in the space marked with a question mark to restore the bar's balance.

The crescent-moon ornament is just heavy enough to balance things out. A single star ornament weighs the same as one sun and one moon together. The strand of ornaments that is supposed to counterbalance the one with a question mark doesn't have any star ornaments, but if you compare the ornaments as shown above, you can figure out what should go in the question mark space regardless.
