Find the Clock Tower (Clock the Tower in the UK version) is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

Puzzle

US Version

To find the clock tower in the village below, just follow these directions:

Go straight and take the first left. Take the next right and then the next left, and it will be right in front of you.

At which spot, A through H, is the clock tower located?

UK Version

Lost in an unfamiliar town, you ask a passer-by for directions to the clock tower. He helpfully tells you:

"Go straight from here, then turn left at the first corner, turn right at the next corner, then turn left at the next corner it'll be in front of you."

Assuming that you start from somewhere on the map below, where is the clock tower? Circle a letter, A-H.

"Go straight and take the first left."

You can start from several of the spots and follow this direction. The key is the next part, "Take the next right."

"Turn left at the first corner..."
This first condition can be fulfilled if you start from any of the locations.

"Turn right at the next corner..."

From which starting locations can this condition be fulfilled?

Following the conditions mentioned in Hint 1:
A goes to D, then E, then G.
C goes to B, then E, then D.

What happens when you start from D and G?

The final direction: take "the next left and it will be right in from of you."

As long as you remember which way you were facing, you'll figure out the clock tower's location in no time.

Bear in mind the direction you're facing, and try each one out.


Solution

Incorrect

Too bad!

US Version

The directions are correct, if you start from the right spot, of course.

UK Version

Hurry up, time waits for no man!

Correct

US Version

Correct!

The clock tower is located at spot H.

The directions are from spot A if you're facing spot D.

UK Version

That's right!

H marks the location of the clock tower.

You were standing at A and facing D when the passer-by gave you the directions.
