I'm angreh at the puzzle master.

The latest download puzzle for Prof. Layton and the Last Spectre is quite un-gentleman like.

(If you dont have this game and have no clue what i'm talking about, you can ignore :3)

So, this latest puzzle reads:

One day, a boy noticed something peculiar while looking at his favorite calendar.

"Today's date is a quarter of the number shown a week ago, and a third of the number shown two weeks ago."

What month and day is it today?

Now, the answer is

Spoiler

March 7th

Because,

Spoiler

Supposedly, one week before the 7th is Feb. 28th. (7/28 is 1/4) and a week before that is Feb. 21 (7/21 is 1/3)

And you would think thats it. It works. Done. Over.
EXCEPT

Spoiler

One week before March 7th, 2012 is Feb. 29th. Which is not 1/4 of 7

The reason for this is that 2012 is a leap year, which adds an extra day onto February, making this puzzle untrue for leap years.

Why would you send out a puzzle that relies on a calendar to be consistently the same months before a year where this condition is not met. :pissed:
