Professor layton miracle mask poker chip puzzle
Ch. 5 Story Puzzle
Conner presents you with a 3x3 grid of poker chips. Each chip has a value on the face from 1 to 9, and each column adds up to 15, but each row has a different sum. Your goal is to arrange the grid so each column and row equal the same number.
You're technically competing with Frankie, who answers after a nanosecond and rearranges the grid correctly. After a discussion with Layton, it turns out you can also arrange it so the diagonals equal the same number as well. Even tougher, you have to do it in two moves!
If you're struggling with this one, you can attempt some moves, and if you fail, Layton will give you a hint (in the form of talking to Frankie). Of note, Layton says he can't do this with traditional moves, and the puzzle description mentions thinking outside the box.

Hints
First, start by flipping all the panels to see which numbers there are.
Surprisingly, there are only a few different numbers you can use.
There are only three different numbers: 1, 2, and 3.
What do these numbers add up to?
There are only three different numbers: 1, 2 and 3.
What do these numbers add up to?
Adding 1, 2, and 3 gives you 6.
With a bit of trial and error, you should be able to arrange the panels so that the lines add up to 6 vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Here are the diagonal combinations.
The other is 3, 2, 1 from top to bottom.
The remaining four panels are up to you to work out.
Solution
Incorrect
There are more numbers on the backs of the panels. Which numbers do you have to choose from?
Correct
There are actually a few valid solutions, but here's one example:
2 1 3
3 2 1
1 3 2
Every line of three digits adds up to six. As each panel has only two possible digits, you don't have many three-digit totals to consider.
Puzzle Solutions
The Puzzle Solutions section contains a full list of ways to crack the 130+ puzzles in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
As with every Professor Layton game, puzzles are the name of the game. Because some people don't want all their puzzles solved for them and just want help on specific puzzles, all puzzle solutions will be held in spoiler tags. That way, anyone can get a hint on the puzzle they are stuck on without accidentally seeing a solution!
A Note on Editing
Remember that if you add a puzzle solution, please use spoiler tags to completely surround each puzzle solution. For example, using this code.
[MM113] Chip Champions
Six people are talking at the casino.
A: "I'm only left with a quarter of the chips I started with!"
C: "If you add up the number of chips that B and F lost, you'll get the amount that I started with."
E: "I had the same amount of chips as B did at first, but now I've got more left.
D: "I'm completely out of chips!"
Draw lines from the people (A to F) to the stacks of chips (1 to 6) to identify which chips belong to whom.
