Try this tough poetic puzzler involving five elves, dressed in five different colors, who made five different types of toys.
Can you decipher who made what?
1. Old Santa's pack held 30 toys
2. Made by his elfin crew.
3. And though none made the same amount.
4. Each elf made more than two.
5. The elf named Cher made one more toy
6. Then the elf who dressed in reds,
7. But Cher made one less Christmas toy
8. Then the elf who made the sleds.
9. Spry Johnny elf made racing cars
10. Five toys were made by Jane.
11. The elf who dressed in yellow suits
12, Made each and every train.
13. The elf who always dressed in green
14. Made one-third as many as Sue.
15. Cute Marcia elf dress in orange.
16. And one elf dressed in blue.
17. The elf who made the spinning tops
18. Made the most toys of them all
19. Another perky, smiling elf
20. Made each and every ball
21. Ole Satna's Pack held 30 toys
22. All tagged for girls and boys.
23. From the clues that you've been given
24. Now guess who made what toys.
Can you figure this one out? (Kim-- I know you can do it in a very short time--or should I say you used to do it.) But how about the rest of you out there?

Nope - not even gonna try. I've never been a 'word problem' sort of gal - and it's too late to get this brain to think. But, I'll send Abigail over because she loves this sort of thing. :)
Love ya.

I can still do it but I also still have the answers on our computer. Had to solve it last year when I took it to work. Still a cute little puzzle...
