[Just as Layton and Luke are wondering how they're going to find "Future Luke" in here, Clive just appears out of nowhere.]

Layton: So you're...

Luke: He's the.. future me?

Clive: It's good to finally meet you, Professor. Or rather... I suppose I should say it's nice to see you again. It's me, Luke Triton.

Layton: Hello, Luke.

Luke: Um, hi, Professor. Oh, you're talking to him. This is going to take some getting used to.

Clive: I can't believe how small I used to be.

Luke: Hmph! I'm not THAT small!

Layton: So, tell me--why exactly did you go through such pains to bring us here?

Clive: I'll be happy to tell you in just a moment. But before that, I'd just like to verify that I'm dealing with the real Professor Layton here.

Layton: Who else would I be?!

Clive: Allow me to explain. In my London, it's rare to find someone who doesn't know the name Hershel Layton. In fact, many impostors have come forth recently claiming to be him.

Luke: Are you saying you think the professor is a fraud?!

Clive: Professor, if you think back on our adventures together, you may recall a man named Don Paolo. As you know, he was a master of disguise. How do I know the man before me now isn't Don Paolo in another of his costumes?

Luke: Now, that's just rubbish, and you know it!

Clive: Is it now? He's tricked us before. Who's to say he couldn't do it again?

Layton: Very well. I'll play along. How do you propose I prove my identity?

[Clive starts to walk away, his back facing Layton and Luke.]

Clive: It's quite simple really.

Layton: Hm?

[Then he stops, turns around, and points dramatically.]

Clive: Professor... I challenge you to a battle of wits!

[CUE PUZZLE BATTLE]

Layton: What exactly do you have in mind?

Clive: As a cautious man, I'm sure you have questions about my identity as well. So that we may each prove our identities, I propose we demonstrate our respective intellects. I've prepared a puzzle that can only be solved by someone as insightful as the professor. Should you find the solution, I'll give you a chance to present me with a similar challenge. If I am who I say I am, I should have no trouble solving whatever you throw my way, should I?

Let's get started. Before us are four cards arranged according to a set of conditions. Here they are. First, a heart is next to a diamond. Second, a club is not next to a spade. Finally, a heart is directly to the right of a club. Using just these three conditions, I challenge you to find the spade amongst these four cards.

> Get it wrong

Clive: Are you quite sure about your answer, Professor? I'd reconsider it, if I were you.

> Get it right

Clive: Yes, placing the spade there results in the correct answer. Impressive, Professor.

Layton: Thank you. Now, if I may present you with a puzzle of my own design?

Clive: Nothing would make me happier.

Layton: Good. I enjoyed the idea behind your puzzle, so if you don't mind, I'd like to do something similar.

Here are the conditions for my four cards. A club sits directly to the right of a heart. A diamond is the far left or right card and has a heart next to it. Finally, a club is also the far left or right card. Using these conditions, I challenge you to find the spade.

[He thinks about it for a little while.]

Clive: You almost had me there, Professor. But, as you know, this puzzle is flawed. It's unsolvable.

Layton: Is that so?

Clive: Yes. I tried several solutions, but none work given the conditions you've set forth.

Layton: Oh, really? Tell me, did I ever state that the four cards on the table contained one card from each suit?

Clive: Hmph. So are you saying that...there is no spade?

[The four cards are flipped over to reveal a diamond, two hearts, and a club.]

Layton: Precisely. This was a trick question, but it makes a pertinent point. In the puzzle you issued me, you failed to specify that the four cards included one from each suit. When you leave in a loophole like that, it can make the puzzle unsolvable. This same omission can also open the door to alternate solutions. You intentionally presented me with a puzzle that, when examined closely, is actually incomplete. The real test you set out for me was seeing if I'd catch on, was it not?

[End puzzle battle!]

Clive: It seems you're the genuine article, Professor.

Layton: I'm glad to see that I've finally convinced you.

Clive: To be honest, I was convinced from the beginning. But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to pit myself against my mentor in a battle of wits.

Layton: I'm flattered...I suppose.

Luke: Out with it already! Why did you call us here?

Clive: There are too many eyes on us here. There's a supply room in the back where we can talk. Follow me.
