Wichtels Rätselherbst 2025 (1): Wichtelkabbelei

(Published on 1. October 2025, 20:25 by wichtel)

To Christmas 2024 some eager puzzlefriends have again arranged a group in which everybody had to make anonymously a puzzle for someone else. These puzzles are now presented one after the other here in the portal.

During preparations for the Christmas party, Santa summoned the gnomes Linny and Tabby in order to distribute assignments.
»Linny«, he begins, »this year you'll be packing up the gifts.«
»But for that I will need a pair of scissors, in order to cut the wrapping paper to size«, Linny replies.
»No problem«, says Tabby, »on my desk there's a pair of scissors, you're welcome to use those«, and soon Linny has vanished.
»Tabby«, Santa continues, »this year you'll have the prestigious job of delivering the gifts. I have prepared you a 16x16 map that shows the region where your deliveries will take place. I have already explained how gifts are to be delivered in document B65. Incidentally, I've left the map on your desk.«
Tabby then hurries to her desk, but what does she discover? There sits Linny, the scissors in one hand, in the other the map, cut into pieces.
»I tested your scissors, Tabby«, she says, »they work perfectly!«
»Just you wait«, yells Tabby and tries to catch Linny, but she runs away and vanishes around the corner. So Tabby returns to her desk and inspects the fragments of the map that Linny has left for her. Will she still be able to deliver all the gifts, in spite of what has happened?
