Puzzle Forty-Two: Christmas Candy Mini-Meta Suite
Here's a little extra holiday fun for you that I cooked up with the help of Crosshare.org's construction tool and its meta leaderboard function. Three puzzles are embedded below. The first two each have their own meta answer, but you won't submit just yet. Solve them both, then enter the answers into the third puzzle. When you have both correct, you'll get the chance to enter the final meta answer.
As usual, there will be two winners: the first solver and one solver selected at random from the other correct entries. Winners will not receive stickers this time, but something more interesting: advance copies of a secret puzzle pack I'm currently putting the finishing touches on.
