SANTA’S SECRET MAGIC DUST
All throughout the year Santa Claus and his elves are constantly making toys for the children of the world. Then at midnight on December 24, he travels around the world and delivers toys to every good boy and girl on his “nice” list. But how does he do it?

They sent down a crew from the spy elves division with some of the extra reindeer to give him more magic dust to finish delivering the toys and get home in time to nap and eat Christmas dinner with Mrs. Claus. So one of Jolly’s tasks was to create a secret compartment within Santa’s sleigh that could hold all the magic dust he needs for the night that he goes and delivers all the toys. Santa told her specifically that he needed this compartment to hold at least 1,344 centimeters3 in order for him to last the night. He gave her the dimensions of the cylinder, which is 28 centimeters in length and 4 centimeters. But man, oh, man Merry did not want Jolly to make this secret compartment. Merry is a...
