Really struggling with the final logic puzzle this year...is it possible to work out what each reindeer was fed before each test flight as well as their favourite foods? The information seems so little!

@(anonymous): Yes, you should have enough info to work all that out. I recommend using a spreadsheet to keep track of all the feedings.
