When you're office organizes Secret Santa a few days before Christmas, it gives you little time to contemplate what to give as gifts, much less make your secret child earn it. So when one of my teammates got another teammate as her child, we decided to spice things up by making him solve a riddle to get each gift. My first attempts at rhyming, so pardon the childish approach ;)
"He sits all day, sometimes at night too
Greets you each day, arranges your cab for you"
In the hands of this man will be your prize,
Don't be too late, do it before the moon rise.
Don't be so blue, Solve this clue
And then you will get your gift, it's true!
And then you will get your gift, it's true!
You have until six,
Don't try any tricks
It's Secret Santa time
So go ahead and solve the rhyme.

Answer: Security guard
Well, he solved it in no time, like we intended him to. So we decided to make things a little bit tougher for him on the final day, sending him on a wild goose chase around half the office before finally leading him to his true Secret Santa... ;) I've posted one of the clues we gave him.
It's simple, it's tough
Now the going's gonna get rough
If you thought yesterday was a piece of cake
You'd better hope today's riddle to break
"She comes from Coorg, and has bright eyes
When dressed in ethnic wear, she wins the prize
Her name has 6 letters, if you sit to count
She works from *******, handles the ***** account
Today it is with the HRs that she sits
When you get to her desk, she'll give you a chit"
