Le Plessis Robinson Cedex, France
Fortunately, yesterday they quickly identified the rogue symbol, found the missing parcel with the wish lists, delivered all the presents and got a replacement compass needle in the UK without any further problems.
With Santa heaving a sigh of relief, he took the reins of the sleigh and took off again en route to France and the Niterra entity in Le Plessis Robinson Cedex.
After the sleigh had landed in front of the building, Sparky and Santa got off and were welcomed by a small French elf who came running over to greet them.
“Bonjour, mes amis,” said the elf, “good to see you. Did you have a good flight?”
Santa replied that they did and were eager to deliver the presents. But a bit of back-office miscommunication had resulted in the presents being locked in a magical box. The tag on the box said “You must break the Eiffel Tower code to open the box.”
“Oh, no! Not another lock and yet another puzzle to solve,” wailed Sparky, rolling his eyes.
“Looks like it,” said Santa, reading the puzzle aloud.
