[His first post is voice.]

Say, to all you magic-users! I'm curious. How did you learn your art? I suppose this applies to anyone with an "unnatural" ability as well.

[The second is a text post under his name, posted an hour after the above.]

I have a puzzle for you, Exsilium. But that's not fun enough, is it? Let's make it a game! I'll pay the first three people who solve it 10✥... no, up to 50✥! The first one gets a special prize! Isn't that exciting? (⌒▽⌒)☆

[Attached to this post is this diagram.]

Now, here is the situation! There are three houses. Each house needs electricity, gas, and water. The goal is to connect the houses to their utilities by drawing lines. It's easy, right? Very easy!

But there's a catch! None of the lines can intersect. But even with the handicap, it's a simple puzzle. I'm sure you can all crack it in no time!

Respond with your answers. Be sure to lock them, so there won't be any cheating~ 1✥ will buy you a hint.

I look forward to rewarding the winner!!

( uh )

Should I come to drop it off?

[duplicitoussight]

Hmm!
You can, if you like~
Or you can pay me later~
Or have it deducted from the prize money!
It's the contestant's choice!

[velveteened]

Well, I wouldn't presume to win it, so I'll pay you later so I can give you everything at once, if I need more.

[duplicitoussight]

Wonderful~
Have you tried moving the houses?

locked;

[velveteened]

Wouldn't that be cheating?

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

It's all a matter of perspective, remember?

[velveteened]

Oh, I see!

[velveteened]

( give him like

a half an hour or something

maybe longer

he's trying very hard okay )

locked;

[velveteened]

It seems to me like it's even trickier than you'll admit.

[duplicitoussight]

[He's not snickering on the other end, no sir.]

Are you asking for another hint, dear contestant~?

locked;

[velveteened]

( rude!!!! )

No, I think I have the answer.

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

Really, really?!
Well, don't keep us waiting then!!

locked; 1/2

[velveteened]

The answer is...

locked;

[velveteened]

that it is impossible! (⌒▽⌒)☆

[duplicitoussight]

Bravo, winner #3!!!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
That is one of the answers!!
looool I was wondering when someone would catch on~~

locked;

[velveteened]

How exciting!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ
Ahahah well with all of your talk of perspective and positivity it can be difficult to guess! What were the other answers?

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

Well, I couldn't make it too easy, could I? That'd make the game no fun, no fun at all!! (︶ω︶)
They were all straightforward~ Here you go~

[Explaining is too troublesome, so here. Have some links.]

locked;

[velveteened]

That's true! There's nothing worse than a boring game.ヽ(´▽｀)ノ
Aah how clever. And cute!

( especially the last one!! )

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

Aren't they??
And exactly!
I didn't expect this many people to get it, actually!! Ah, it just goes to show that I should be more careful next time in making these~

locked;

[velveteened]

But not too careful!! A puzzle no one can solve is boring too.

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

That's very true.
Still, I'm impressed.
Even with an 'impossible' puzzle, people found its solution!
It's almost inspiring (；▽；)

locked;

[velveteened]

Hahaha. No matter what people can't help but keep trying.

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

Especially when a great incentive's offered~

locked;

[velveteened]

I hope you still have enough marques left over for yourself after this.

locked;

[duplicitoussight]

[Ha ha ha.........]

I have more than enough!!
Oh! Speaking of incentives...
It seems the winners before you don't want the special prize.
Would you like to claim it? (｀・ω・´)
