The Lost Number is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

Puzzle

US Version

Through the course of his research, Dad discovered a very important number and marked it on a slip of paper.

Unfortunately, somebody mistook the note for a piece of trash and tore it into pieces! Now Dad's hopping mad, and Mom's beside herself...

Perhaps you can figure out the number by piecing the note back together?

US Version

Did you put the pieces back together carefully? If you do it right, the answer should reveal itself.

UK Version

Did you put the pieces back together carefully? If you do it correctly, the answer should reveal itself.

The number isn't written down. Did you notice there are some edges that fit together perfectly and some that don't?

If you line up all the edges that fit together perfectly, the gaps in the middle will reveal a number.

Did you notice the number that's formed by the gaps between the pieces? That's your answer. It's two digits.


Solution

Incorrect

Too bad!

Did you line up all the pieces correctly? Take another look.

Correct

That's it!

US Version

The number is 74! And don't tell anybody, but I actually tore up the note...

UK Version

"The number is 74!

And don't tell anybody, but the person who tore up the note? It was me..."
