This is the second in a series of four challenges for Santa in December 2012. The other three are:



Santa was just back at the North Pole after placing his first geocache when the elf once again entered the office with a letter in his hand. "Is this some kind of new hobby you have started?" asked the elf. "Another letter has arrived that looks quite like the one you got last week." "Hobby?" Santa replied. "Well, maybe it will become a new hobby. After all I need something to do the first eleven months of the year." The elf cleared his throat. "Actually we are in December now." he commented in low voice. "I would think you need the time to be ready for Christmas." "Well..." Santa started, before he went quiet for several seconds. "You are probably right. But let me see that letter." The elf handed over the letter, and Santa immediately started reading it.

Letter

"So, what do you think?" the elf asked after waiting impatiently a few minutes. "It think I need some time to figure this out" Santa said. "It looks harder than the last one. You'd better give me some peace so I can concentrate." "Just don't forget about the children and the gifts" the elf said as he turned around and walked out of the office. "Don't worry. It shouldn't take that long to figure this out, and I suppose Rudolph could use a little practice before Christmas as well." Santa mumbled as he was already more focused on the letter that what was happening around him.
