To ask if you can solve this puzzle!?

[xmaspuzzlenc]

It's year 6 homework. All words are Christmas related.

WHAT IS NUMBER 5!?

I've been at it for hours I can't work out what the hell it could be. Argh! It's driving me mad

I live olive the reindeer

Sounds like it's definitely The Camel Song....

@LaChatte

Can you email the teacher?

Oh, they'd be delighted on the first evening of the holidays!!!

It’s 2 toed feet and knobbly knees.
From the song “Bethlehem Latitude”

That is SO not a standard Nativity song. Very niche knowledge. But at least I feel less stupid as I'd never have got it.

i prefer some of the (very) inventive alternatives but yes thank God it's not another Boswell.

Two toes feet and knobbly knees

My DD did that nativity too. But I don't remember that line, just her falling off the stage .

Actually there are only 8 original and true reindeer .
The Night Before Christmas was written in 1837 by Clement Clarke Moore

Rudolph didn't apppear till 1939 , over a hundred years later !
And Olive ! ...no !

Well done the problem solvers and now I'm really disappointed that it's an actual song.

I was kind of hoping the teacher was playing a made up mind messing game. If I was a teacher right now I would so be up for this.

The GCHQ one you figure out the next letter in the sequence and try and draw onto the bauble. Assume you have to find a way to do so without taking pen off paper and only following the arrows on the lines. So first one is A and you’d draw it toward top left doing left side, then right, then halfway back up and then across middle?

Well done for solving it! I hope OP is impressed when she gets up and realised the case has been cracked!

Ah I'm glad someone got it.

🤣 oh no! I take if she wasn't hurt? Please say no otherwise I'll feel mean about having laughed

Hooray!

In the gchq one, there's one sequence that is the ends of these words: onE twO three fouR fivE siX and therefore missing letter is N seveN.

Another one with decreasing Roman numerals so the missing letter is I

I really want the two words in there to be ‘fuck all’ but I must admit it’s not likely...
😂😂

Literally ignoring the incontinent dog, hungry kids and lack of tea to come on here and pray someone had got this. It's been a tough night. Sooo glad it's been solved

It seem niche to us, but maybe the year 6 class had been learning that song so the teacher expected them to be able to reference it

I have never heard of that song but thank goodness it's been solved!

YES! thank god. You clever clever bunch.

That's right. Apparently it's a nativity song. I'm disappointed!

Did anyone solve the 10 R one though, in the basis there aren't 10 reindeer?

Yes, it’s discussed in the thread. Has to do with Olive, the ‘other reindeer’ 🎄🎄🎄
