Mnemonic

You're all by yourself and you have to check your rice paddies — all twenty of them! Luckily, you have an incredible nose, so you can quickly assess the state of your twenty rice paddies with just a few sniffs.

Hints

Really focus in on your nose. Your nostrils get huge, and your nose is huge. Smell the rice and its freshness in your imagination. Your nose is amazing.

Mnemonic

As you sniff your rice paddies, an unexpected smell wafts into your nose: 花s (はな). Oh no — did you accidentally plant 花s instead of rice? Oh well, the 花s are putting your nose in such a state of bliss that you actually think things might be better this way.

Hints

Honestly, is there anything better to do with your nose than smell 花s? 花s and noses are a match made in heaven (unless you have pollen allergies…).
