Professor Layton Lives, Gives Prizes

To promote their recently-released puzzler, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, Nintendo is sending the professor himself out into the world to test your puzzling skills. Between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. from September 23 through 30, Layton will be appearing in Minneapolis, Miami, Boston and Seattle; if you can find him and tell him "every puzzle has an answer", he’ll offer you the chance to solve a puzzle. Solving the puzzle enters you into a drawing to win a free copy of Diabolical Box. For full contest rules, and clues on where you can find the professor, head to the official website.

I’ll certainly be attempting to find the professor here in Minneapolis; I love a good puzzle (and free stuff). I just hope he sounds something like Professor Layton; I could care less about how he looks.
