The VANISHING ELVES
or "are you sure you counted correctly?"
Updated July 2005

If you are using INTERNET EXPLORER, please continue. If you are using another browser, the dragging of the panels may not work, so go here to print the four pieces and work it out yourself. Sorry!
Move the four panels below to bring together the tops and bottoms of the Elves. (There are two top panels and two bottom ones.) Some of these Mystical Elves will hide on you when you arrange the panels differntly! Drag a panel by clicking and holding down your mouse button. Are there 13, 14, or 15 ? .... See how few you can get, or how many you can get, by moving the pieces around. The images should be touching but not overlapping. Have fun!"
