Oops, yes, my mistake. Fixing it now!

I'm confused by the Advent piece. Both of the bottom corners point to the bottom center square. I don't see how it can be solved with that constraint. Am I missing something? Help please!

The arrows in the Advent piece point in the direction of the next square, but it's not necessarily the immediately adjacent square. In other words, one of the corners points to the other corner, not the center square. Hope that helps!

Ah! I get it. Thank you.

It appears I've made a second mistake! The pieces for the Number Soup ought to be a 4 and 7 together and a 1 alone, which is reflected in the newest copy of the puzzle sheet.

The corrected version for day three of the advent calendar has not been loaded to the site. It was a real puzzle solving this one.

Jxn: I've uploaded it again just to be sure, but sometimes browsers cache the original version. If it appears the same for you, try holding Ctrl and pressing F5, or clearing your browser cache and reloading.

Looks good now. I'm not sure if it was the cache or not. Thanks!

Uhm, having a bit of problems on the junior piece. Should it be like 13 = _ + _? :o
