25 December

It's nearly Christmas and something terrible has happened: after years of gradual wear and tear, Santa's magic sleigh has fallen apart. You need to help Santa build a new sleigh so that he can deliver presents before Christmas is ruined for everyone.
The magic sleigh was built from parts bought from magic factories all over the world, and only the exact combination of parts will be magic enough to let Santa deliver all the world's presents on Christmas Eve—but it's been a long time since a magic sleigh was last built and no-one can remember exactly which combination of parts is needed. You need to use the clues below to work out which parts to order to build a new magic sleigh. There are five parts that you need to order (runners, a chassis, a present holder, a seat for Santa, and a front of the sleigh with reins). There are nine suppliers (numbered from 1 to 9) that Santa can order parts from.
