“A talking teddy and not a normal teddy or a train set or a rat trap game”
Elf 1 is in a muddle after reading it. Does Jimmy want a train set or not? Does he actually want a rat trap game or not? What does the list Jimmy has written actually mean? What one thing should Elf 1 put in Santa’s sack for him to be sure he does get something he wants?

CUTTING THE CRACKERS
CUTTING THE CRACKERS
One of Santa’s Elves Mikey Muddlebug has the job making giant novelty crackers each out of a piece of paper that is 1m long. They need 120 crackers and start with a strip of paper 120m long. Mikey Muddlebug sets the cracker machine to make 120 cuts that each take one second to do. He expects to be finished in exactly 2 minutes and he will then head off for a snooze: job done.

PRESENTS FOR THE BLOCK OF FLATS
PRESENTS FOR THE BLOCK OF FLATS
Elven Muddlebug is standing in for Santa. He has just finished Liverpool in the North of England when he notices a pile of presents on the floor of the sleigh. He gasps. They were for the children living on the eleventh floor of a block of flats – he missed a whole floor. He turns the reindeer round and heads back. As he approaches the flats he counts up the floors by counting the windows from the bottom: floor 1, floor 2, floor 3, … floor 10, floor 11. Putting the reindeer in to hover mode, he climbs in the fire escape of that floor ready to deliver the presents. Will the children on floor 11 get their presents or is he in a muddle? Should he have just used the lift?
