1. Where did the Christmas presents go?
Al Bear Einstein was in his Study have a quiet glass of sherry with Jezza Bear when the Emergency Deciphering telephone rung.
All Jezza Bear could hear Al Bear say was "Hmm Hmm, Logo Tag Here, yes, got that" and then he scribbled some numbers down and placed the phone down.
"OK JB a fax is arriving in a few moments, it is an emergency decoding job, it appears that Santa Bear was flying around the Earth collecting children's present before Christmas Eve when Rudolph sneezed violently and 10 large sacks of toys fell off the back of the sleigh and plummetted to the ground. Santa has received a ransom note and needs us to decipher it as he does not understand it."
Jezza Bear was astounded to think that Al Bear was so cool after speaking to Father Christmas.
The fax arrived and JB ripped it from the machine.
"How bizarre, temperature? , minutes and a time?...or is it?"
Can you help JB and Al Bear find the children's presents?
