I'm not sure I understand today's (Dec 21) question. If we were to calculate the mean of all answers that are multiples of 3, does that mean (i) effectively we can only solve today's question on Dec 24 or (ii) we only need to consider the answers from Dec 1 - Dec 21?
Or am I misinterpreting the question completely?

@Panda : You need to wait to solve today's puzzle until you have 1-24 solved. (I saved this question for late in the calendar so you for have to wait too long.)
