  1. =======Org Hint=========
  2. Welcome to another Merry Christmas Batboobs! Did I say merry? What I meant to say is scary, scary how much time you'll waste trying to solve my puzzles just for the glory of beating me! Time and time again though I show you that this simply is not possible. Even when I give you simple clues you'll be so flummoxed and annoyed you'll simply give up! How about we start easy, I'll give you a simple puzzle and the answer can only be described in one word. I have three Christmas gifts in boxes, two of the boxes are right side up, and one is upside down. Each turn you may turn exactly two boxes over, how many turns does it take you to get all the boxes right side up? If you're having trouble you might need a Miracle, or maybe his brother....

  6. Answer: impossible
  7. This is a simple modification of the three cups problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_cups_problem. Since the goal is to get 3 boxes all facing right side up, but only one is upside down you will always cycle between either the original state or all three boxes facing upside down. Thus the only way to describe this problem is "impossible". If you're a boob and don't know simple famous impossible problems you'll be happy to see my second hint: "You might need a Miracle", which of course can only refer to Mister Miracle, and Mister Miracle has only ever had one character claim to be his brother: Doctor Impossible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Impossible.

  9. =======Hint 1=========
  10. What's this? You finally figured out that you couldn't figure it out? I'd say I'm impressed, but we both know it took you far longer than it should have. Besides you didn't think I'd make it that easy did you? I know what you're thinking, Eddie you're so NAUGHTY and I'm so NICE, but I can't best you and that makes me furious. I don't know what to tell you Batboob, perhaps you should write someone who cares, or at least someone who can stop me. Until then I strongly enocurage you to ZIP it. Just remember Gotham may be in the USA, but the highest authority in the land doesn't always live in DC.

  12. Answer: 99530-9998
  13. As you can see, I'm quite annoyed that you Batboobs solved my puzzles, but as always I find a way to make your joy into pain. This puzzle is all about knowing what hte hints are for. Since I capitlized naughty and nice you should immediately pick up that I am hinting towards something, and who else cares about naughty and nice, but Santa Claus. Additionally as I mock you I encourage you to find a way to stop me, but obviously trying to find someone to stop me is an exercise in futility, that is unless you know of a certain man who can deliver presents to every person in the world in one night. The next sentence encourages you to "write someone who cares" thus you mmust write a letter to Santa Claus. Finally I say to "ZIP" it which references Santa's zip code, and thus you must find Santa's official address, which the USPS is more than happy to share https://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2016/pr16_093.htm

  15. =======Hint 2=========
  16. My, my, you are on your way but don't get too cocky all good things must come to an end. Eddy Grant had his time on the charts but there was only one place he wanted to rock down to, and only there could he see who owned his favorite Christmas thing, what's its name?
  17.  
  18. Answer: rudolph
  19. Eddy Grant rocking down to is of course Electric Avenue, and Electric Avenue was a store brand owned by Montgomery Ward, who paid Robert L May in 1939 to create Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer

  21. =======Hint 3=========
  22. Some say I'm a grinch, but even at my worst I never banned Christmas. Which is more than I can say for these crimson stockings.
  23.  
  24. Answer: boston
  25. Christmas observance was outlawed in Boston in 1659. The ban by the Puritans was revoked in 1681 by an English appointed governor, Edmund Andros, however it was not until the mid-19th century that celebrating Christmas became fashionable in the Boston region.. And of course "crimson stockings" can be interpretted as Red Socks, the famous fenway team.
  26.  
  27. =======Final Hint=========
  28. GRRRRRR. You must have cheated to be able to beat me, but don't get so cocky I've got more puzzles and you're running out of time! Post the following phrase in the Christmas thread with your list and the conest will be officially over "Snow comes and goes but I'm dirty elf who blows and blows."
