I Don't Think Caffeine Is Good For You

The answer for yesterday's puzzle is 3 minutes. Did you get it right?

Another one? This one is from Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

Somebody ate the butcher's sausages! Here's what these 4 boys have to say.

A: "B ate the sausages!"
B: "D ate them all up!"
C: "I didn't eat them, no way!"
D: "B's totally lying!"

Only one of these rascals is telling the truth and all the others are, needless to say, lying. Can you figure out who ate the sausages?

I'll post the answer tomorrow. 8D

The cat in my shot was bought on one of my trips to Japan, a few years ago, when I visited Wakayama. It was in a little shop that sold nothing but kitty-related merchandise! Big cat sculptures, small cat figurines, cat stationery, cat bags, cat everything. All beautifully handmade. I remember wishing I was filthy rich, so that I could buy the entire shop! XD

So cute!! :D

This is sooooo cute!! :)
September 27th, 2012  
Heh, simples :)
September 27th, 2012  
Hmm! I think I solved the puzzle, but I'll keep it to myself for now :)
Really cute photo, love the cat and story behind it.
September 27th, 2012  
super cool !!:)
September 27th, 2012  
This sounds like a fun game...very cool set up here!!!
September 27th, 2012  
Very loveable shot.
September 27th, 2012  
Fun and creative - Glad to see Professor Layton has time to sit and enjoy a cuppa. As for the answer.... Why isn't there an E option="all of the above"? I think they all boys were in it together and colluded an 'a to d' result. As boys do!

such a fun capture!

You are so creative! I think I know the answer but really I think the cat did it.
September 27th, 2012  
Great fun shot, I love the composition
September 27th, 2012  
So very cutely set up
September 27th, 2012  
Fun pose for Professor Layton.
September 27th, 2012  
Cute
September 27th, 2012  
So very clever. What a fun set up ; )
September 27th, 2012  
Very creative composition!
September 27th, 2012  
nice one!
September 27th, 2012  
I love this little character.
September 27th, 2012  
Great display and a nice story telling pic.
Remember , only the last person on earth own`s everything .
September 27th, 2012  
I like this chap. Now I am not very good at these puzzles, 46 year old brain prefers things simpler. As no-one else has guessed, I will have a go, so my guess is C.
September 27th, 2012  
Puzzles are apparently not my thing! When you tell us what the answer is can you also explain why please? :o) You have quite a collection of collectibles don't you! xx
September 27th, 2012  
Very cool and very good.
September 27th, 2012  
Another great capture. Love the composition, lighting and tones. Gonna go with "c" since he's the only one not blaming someone else.
As for detectives, if you ever get a chance, read the Agent Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Great diabolical stuff. Agent Pendergast first appears in the novel Relic as a side character, but he was so well created, they made the series his.
September 27th, 2012  
Good one!
September 27th, 2012  
How cute! Fun shot.
September 27th, 2012  
I like the composition and love the story you have underneath.

@losthorizon I didn't remember that Pendergast first appeared in Relic.
September 27th, 2012  
Very big cat.
September 27th, 2012  
Awwwww this is super cute
September 27th, 2012  
Wonderful scene! Thank you for the puzzle! I think, the answer is "C".
September 27th, 2012  
@svarri Definitely. Been a long time since I read it, but vaguely remember how he first appeared on scene, gaunt, pale, creepy. So many famous characters first appeared in that novel: Margo Green, Lt. D'Agosta, and the always awesome William Smithback Jr.
The beauty of those novels is that every novel they have written is connected in some way. Main characters in one novel show up as side characters in another unrelated novel. My fav though will always be Cabinet of Curiosities. But to appreciate it, you have to read all the other novels leading up to it.

Oh Liv I'm loving these poses with the professor! Great shot.
September 27th, 2012  
I'm really enjoying these professor shots. Can't wait until tomorrow to see if I chose the right answer!
September 27th, 2012  
Excellent
September 27th, 2012  
I love your toys. Its always the same with kids, they all prefer other kids toys!
September 27th, 2012  
Very cute! Wonderful capture! :D
September 27th, 2012  
Very cool & cute! Nice story too :)
September 27th, 2012  
oh I am liking these professor shots and puzzles, although probably best if I look at and read your at a more reasonable hour of the day ~ my head hurts! :-)
September 28th, 2012  
lol very nice
September 28th, 2012  
Love this shot - the poses are so natural!
September 28th, 2012  
lol, cool shot!
September 28th, 2012  
This is great.
September 28th, 2012  
Very interesting!.... I'll go with "B".
September 28th, 2012  
Awesome cat. It could be professor's side kick. Love this set up. I don't dare to say my answer to puzzle out loud.
September 28th, 2012  
Super cool composition & setting, love it!
September 28th, 2012  
Oh don't they look so cute together. coffee time here too.
September 28th, 2012  
Funny shot!!

I think that Mr. D is telling the truth and that Mr. C ate them... naughty boy!
September 28th, 2012  
Lots of fun and yes I got it...took me a while counting on my fingers!
September 28th, 2012  
loving the expression on the cat!
September 28th, 2012  
very cute composition...
September 28th, 2012  
@psychographer I'm lousy at explanations! XD For yesterday's puzzle, this is what happens. One person (let's call him P1) takes one minute to tell the next person (P2). Now there are two people with the message. So P1 and P2 tell P3 and P4 respectively, at the same time. That's another minute. After that, P1, P2, P3 and P4 tell P5, P6, P7 and P8. And that's another minute. So there you have it, the shortest possible amount of time it takes for the message to get passed to 7 other people is a total of 3 minutes. Hope that makes sense. 8)
September 28th, 2012  
Great shot - thanks for the explanation on yesterdays riddle - end of week, my brain doesn't even want to go there:)
September 28th, 2012  
Ha ha!.....Just Brilliant Livia! : )
September 28th, 2012  
Great shots
September 28th, 2012  
I tell my dogs this all the time... Great lighting and composition Livia. Great shot.
September 28th, 2012

September 28th, 2012

September 28th, 2012  
Haha! That scene is soo adorable!!
September 28th, 2012

September 28th, 2012  
Teehee.
September 28th, 2012  
Verrrry cute shot!
September 28th, 2012  
I love the scene - and I will go now and make some tea :-). After I solved the riddle of course. I wish I had seen this shop - it sounds special.
September 28th, 2012  
So funny, love the shot setup
September 28th, 2012  
funny, even though it isn't a hello kitty it has the same pose and still strikes me as very Japanese because of that. Great scene.
September 28th, 2012  
Being the mother of two boys, I can say with all certainty that none of them is telling the absolute truth! lol In reality, I am a visual puzzle solver. I always look for evidence because it is human nature to often say one thing and do another. Cute kitty, cute shot.
September 28th, 2012  
Love this new series, Livia. The puzzles are fun.
September 28th, 2012  
My guess is they all ate them. :) Cute photo set up!
September 28th, 2012  
Haha, another lovely shot in this series, Livia. Mr Professor looks so learned.
September 28th, 2012  
I love your shots Livia....these are great...that cat is gorgeous.
September 28th, 2012  
Too cute for words!
September 29th, 2012  
Too cute. Nice shot.
September 29th, 2012  
Cute scenery!
September 29th, 2012  
Cute setup - love the cat companion - surely that is a sentient cat!
September 29th, 2012  
A great, big, caffeine-infused, kitty-aware, Professor-endorsed "THANK YOU!" to all! So glad you're enjoying the series. I love taking pictures of the Professor and I am grateful for your constant support. Thank you so much.
September 29th, 2012  
Love your composition!
September 29th, 2012

Another fab shot of the professor. Love the way he is looking at the cat =)

I can see this is going to be quite the series!!
October 3rd, 2012  
Oh, so cute! Can't wait to see more!
October 5th, 2012  
Are you shooting all of these in a light box?
October 5th, 2012  
@sailingmusic No, I just shoot at a window. The light is natural, it comes through the glass, from the left side. That's why the shadows are on the right. 8)
October 5th, 2012  
A great fun capture! D
