Way up at the North Pole, Santa and his elves live a
relatively normal life for much of the year. Santa in particular
is best friends with four elves: Fritz, Olaf, Andreas and Hans.
|
 |
These five men live in Winter Wonderland, a ritzy North Pole
subdivision. As friends, they do everything together. Each
of the five keeps one of the Reindeer in his cottage with him for
company: Prancer, Dancer, Comet, Cupid, and of course Rudolph.
|
|
 |
The reindeer, the elves, and Santa all hang out and do
winter sports.
Accordingly each person keeps a single snow transport in his home including
skis, a toboggan, a sled, ice skates, and a sleigh (which stays at Santa's
cottage). |
 |
 |
Furthermore they all like to get together in each other's
cottages after work and drink together. Each cottage is visited once
a week and each of the five men has his own particular favorite beverage
which he serves:
Brau, Wassail, Schnapps, Eggnog, and Cider. |
 |
The cottages of the elves and Santa are all lined in a row side by side one another on
Reindeer Avenue.
Now, from the clues listed below, do you think you can figure out
which of the four elves or Santa keeps Rudolph in his cottage??
And who drinks the cider??
Good luck, this is a tricky one!!

The Rudolph Puzzle is a difficult logic puzzle. It took me over two
hours to solve it. However the puzzle was fair
and clues made sense.

This is a tough one, but if you like logic puzzles, this is a good
adventure!!
