Christmas Puzzle 2024

Who doesn’t love a bit of a conundrum competition at this time of year… I guess I can’t break with tradition, so here are some random questions that might just lead you to a name… send me that name to allard pot walker cat gmail pot com, ensuring you rotate the two p’s 180 degrees and lose the first c… you’re a puzzler you shouldn’t find that bit hard!

Bonus points if you answer in a witty haiku (-30 minutes), a limerick (-15 minutes), or a question (+5 minutes).
