# How to Solve Puzzle 005 on Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Puzzle 005 on Professor Layton and the Curious Village is called "Digital Digits". For this, you need to figure out how many times a digital clock will display 3 or more of the same number in a row (or consecutive) in one day.

## Steps

1. 1
Remember that this particular clock operates in a 12-hour display, not international/military, where it's 24 hours. To make it easier for yourself, either do the morning (midnight to noon) or afternoon/evening (noon to midnight) and then double the number for the entire day.
2. 2
Write down the most obvious times. When we see a digital clock, we automatically think of "1:11 pm" or "4:44 am". Here would be the potential list:
• 1:11
• 2:22
• 3:33
• 4:44
• 5:55
3. 3
Study the "1:11" and "2:22". Learn that the minutes will still be the same during the 11 and 12 o' clock hours and you'd still have the same 3 consecutive numbers.
• 11:11
• 12:22
4. 4
Take the "11:11". Because you have "1" as your consecutive number, use this to your advantage and go up in minutes.
• 11:10
• 11:12
• 11:13
• 11:14
• 11:15
• 11:16
• 11:17
• 11:18
• 11:19
5. 5
Think of the solid hour times. Note that "10:00" is the only hour with 3 consecutive zeros.
6. 6
Count how many different times you have and double it. You should end up with 34 to write on the next screen.
