3. Christmas Riddle You know the answer when you get it.
Twas the night before Christmas
When Jan fell to the ground.
A few guests were suspected
But no killer was found.
Office Cornwaller arrived at the scene
The cold, breezy night threatened Gangrene.
Three suspects were questioned, all of them men.
Jack, Gregory, and don't forget Ben.
Office Cornwaller searched high and low.
On the tree, on the floor, and under each bow.
He was about to give up, but that's when he saw
The clues that told him who broke the law:
A car, a pot, a hammer, a knife, and some lumber.
Now Office Cornwaller had the murderer's number!
Can you use the clues to find the bad man
Who caused the death of poor, innocent Jan?
4. Elf Puzzle Simple Answer
Before Santa arrives, Harry the elf has to prepare each chimney with two magical powders: one bag of slippery powder (to allow Santa to slip down the chimney) and one bag of cushioning powder (to cushion Santa's fall). Harry realises that for the last two chimneys, he has four bags of powder. He knows two of them are slippery powder and two are cushioning powder, but none of them has been labelled and all the bags and powders look identical. How does he ensure that each chimney gets one bag of slippery powder and one bag of cushioning powder?
-
These are all too hard.
Harry the Elf will have to figure that out for himself.
