The Puzzle of a Light

Leo immediately headed to the seat to rest. Luckily, he had some drinking water in his bag. Leo drank it immediately. Leo felt almost hopeless and he looked back at the paper on the seat as if he wanted to give up. Leo looked at the paper with great focus. The longer he looked at the paper, he felt if the paper began to burn.

Leo does feel the weather in the city is very hot, different from the city of A3. Even so, he did not think that the level of heat produced only by the sun could burn a paper. Leo began to look at the sun and think that the sun is very far away can burn a paper, especially if the sun is very close to him.

Leo soon realized something.

“The sun is very hot, although the sun is located very far from the planet. However, the sun was the only highest place one could see while in the schoolyard. The sun can only be seen, but I cannot visit. What should I do to solve this puzzle?” thought Leo.

Although not necessarily the right answer is the sun, but it never hurts to try to prove the truth. Leo immediately tried various ways, from trying to burn it using sunlight to blocking the paper from the sun.

After some time trying various ways, Leo finally found a way to solve the puzzle. Leo remembers if any ink can only be seen when exposed to direct sunlight or even if exposed to water or special caira. Then, Leo pointed the paper towards the sun.

A piece of writing was seen when the paper was exposed to direct sunlight. Leo did not think that something he suspected proved the truth that the sun was one of the clues in this test. Leo saw “Thick right grass” written in the paper.

Leo had seen a grass in the school yard and he immediately headed to the place. Leo scoured the grass carefully and he saw a paper in it. Leo looks at the paper first before holding it to make sure it is the correct paper.

Leo saw “The path that shines in the darkness is on the right of” written on the paper. Leo felt that the writing looked suspicious and hesitated to hold the paper. Leo wanted to try to find another paper. However, when he wanted to leave the place, Leo experienced something unexpected. Leo slips and falls because the ground where Leo stands is very slippery. When he fell, Leo's hand accidentally touched and like holding a paper in that place. Leo was surprised. Despite holding the paper, there was no notice that Leo was removed from the exam. That way, Leo considers if the paper is a paper that contains the next puzzle that he must solve. Leo then rested for a while on the seat, then he went out of the school environment through the gate.

While in front of the gate, Leo followed the paper's instructions. Leo takes the right and he walks on the right. However, there was something that made him confused. Leo did not see a dark path, while in the instructions on the paper was written something about a dark path.

Leo kept walking along the way. After a while, Leo found a branching path. Leo has to choose between left and right. Without a second thought, Leo immediately chose the path on the right according to the instructions on the paper. Although the road is not dark, Leo still chose the road because it is on the right.

Upon arriving near the branching of the road, Leo looked around and tried to look for other clues. After a long time, Leo did not get any results. Although Leo looked towards the sun and the shining things, there was not a single clue he found. In fact, in every part of the road there is a tool like glass that illuminates the road. Leo thought the device wasn't a clue and thought the only clue he had was on the puzzle paper.

On the road has three branches, namely the left, middle, and right. On the left road looks very bright because it gets light from direct sunlight and help from the tool. On the middle of the road looks very dark because it is not exposed to sunlight very directly. Although there was already help from the lighting tools, the road still looked very dark. It is as if the path has eternal darkness. On the right side of the road looks suspicious. Although the right side of the road is also not exposed to direct sunlight, but the existing lighting tools can make the road bright.

Leo was confused to choose the path. There are two paths that correspond to the instructions, namely the middle and right. Road in the middle according to the section instructions “Street that shines in darkness”. The road is illuminated by lighting devices, but the road still looks dark. The hint part of the light in the darkness was very suitable. However, the left road also in accordance with the instructions. On the road the right part according to the instructions section “Berada on the right”.

Leo thought if he chose the right middle ground, then the right one would be right as well.

“If the middle road is the right way, then according to the instructions on the paper that is on the right. However, I still can't be sure if the right is the right way or the right way is the right way.” thought Leo.

Leo did not see a single person who was in that place. Although there was, he could not ask the person. Leo thought that he would follow the choices of others if there were people in that place.

When Leo is looking confused, he tries to operate the existing lighting tools. Leo thought that he would get another clue if he operated it. Leo tried to rotate, shift and direct the tool on the streets. When Leo moves all the tools on the middle road, it remains dark and the right side road becomes dark. Leo then returned the device to where it came from.

Leo closed his eyes and calmed his mind. After some time to calm the mind, Leo seemed to hear something from the voice of his heart. The voice was not very clear in his mind.

“Confidence... Right.. Truth... Darkness...”.

The sounds that are heard are always changing. After hearing these voices, Leo also got a pretty good idea done in a moment of confusion.
