Quote:
Very good, but you're missing part of the answer for the last one... look back over the question and see what you missed.


Since I don't know the question, any ideas?

 		enaxor: Not everyone in the North Pole would call Santa that, especially not Mrs. Claus, I would imagine...

EDIT: well, here's a further hint:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
what specific part of the north pole might refer to him as that?

Hehe, thanks. I did send back that's what the elves called him, but I've now added

Santa's Workshop
. I hope that's enough for that OCD w/anal retentive tendencies, little Snowball.

 		I was baffled over the 1st one, really. Because I live in the country it's supposed to be from and it's "klaas" not "klaus". Klaus is German. So I put both and if he complains, it's not my fault :p

I'm laughing, because ****ball told me I was just guessing when I emailed
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
North Pole
, nothing about specifics. Yes, he is quite anal, isn't he?

Gonna try the rest.

Grrrrr. I am beginning to really hate Christmas.

which is

octal for -- from angels bending near the earth to touch their of gold


with a quick Google you get

But as we know the puzzle has been hijacked. So who is mad at Snowball?

Perhaps Santa Claus himself, judging from the laugh.

 		I just looked at Snowball's board and there are a couple of people viewing the puzzle 5 thread.

so does that mean puzzle 4 has been solved?

EDIT: nevermind, just received confirmation that puzzle 4 is still missing and unsolved.

When you click on the Puzzle title, (i.e. Puzzle 10) it shows up that you are viewing that board. Don't worry- no one has gotten the password for puzzle five yet, because puzzle four hasn't been completed. It hasn't been found, in fact... We've gathered up the legions of little gingerbread people and sent them out into the Candy Cane Forest to search for the Elf I had fired the other day, because I think he's the most likely culprit.

At first I thought this was a stall, but it seem so well organized...

 		If it's findable, I haven't had any luck. I've tried searching around on Blogger for some sort of clue, but I haven't turned up anything except http://santasworkshop.blogspot.com which may be related later in the game, but has no content so far. Confused
