One of the things I’ve always loved is a good puzzle, and what better time to start a thought exercise than the end of the week?

With that, I present to you is #13:

Santa’s workshop tends to get very busy this time of year for obvious reasons. So much so, that his elves have been working too much overtime on the toys, however there has been an uptick in the number of kids getting candy this year. So much so that it was decided Santa’s Workshop would acquire Wonka’s Chocolate factory.

Now that Santa has the candy capabilities, he still needs to work out the pickup locations for the candy to ensure he gets them just in time to be delivered to the appropriate kids. Especially since Wonka decided to break up his candy customers up by region while Santa has everything centralized at the North Pole Data Center.

What can Santa do, and what considerations should be made to ensure the list of kids is in sync in time for the holidays?
