I am too... both the 3s and the 6 and 11 corral clues...

I'm having trouble reconciling this with Day 6. The circled 6 here means the circled 11 in Day 6 has to extend further to the side than I've been able to take it.

Same here. Seems to be a common problem.

Sorry guys. I've been at a business meeting this evening but when I get home I will check my original and make fixes where necessary.

Argh - it's actually day 6 with the flaw in it. The two white fence posts near the clue marked 5 need to be moved one notch to the left. I even fooled myself on that one; I looked back and forth about ten times before realizing where the mistake had been made.

Thanks for fixing it - and for finding it!

I did think that the placement of those fenceposts violated a hidden rule of "no fencepost may be on the corner of another clue". Time to print out another copy of the advent calendar...

Is anyone else getting conflicts with day 6 on this one? I think there's a misprint with the two 3s near the middle.
