Description

You have to solve a number of tasks, in pursuit of the New Year Thief. In the magical forest magical beasts can be caught that can prevent you from reaching your goal. Or help to reach the goal before the others. You can go on a trip alone, with a group of friends or a general company. Nothing prevents sharing your thoughts and conjectures.
But remember. Whatever you write or say, others may use against you. But no one bothers to give you false marks.

Prehistory

Somehow, sitting at the table, discussing the urgent problems, a stranger joined us. He told us:
- You have a few days before the New Year, to solve them. Otherwise, the new year will not come.
After these words the Stranger disappeared. And with it, and our beautiful Christmas tree. After him there was only a piece of paper and a few lines. And here we go in search of the Thief of our Christmas tree. And you can go along with us in a way that would find and punish the offender. After all, only with your help we will get back the new year and will be able to spend the old one. We have a day to meet and make teams. The most active will receive points, and the most successful - prizes. Based on the text on paper, we will have 1 day for each task. Hope we can handle it. Indeed, together we are the Force.

rules

2. Participants are looking for a hidden picture;
   
3. The finder of the picture sends a link to the post in which the picture was hidden in QMS;
   
4. The first one who found correctly gets 4 points, the second and third - 3 points each, the fourth, fifth and sixth points - 2 points each. The rest, who correctly found - by 1 point. After the end of the stage answers are not accepted. And it is not discussed.
   
5. Every day before the end of the competition will be one stage. After placing the post with the task begins 3-hour waiting for answers. If in 3 hours 6 or more people have found a fragment, the stage is completed. Otherwise, the stage is extended to the beginning of the next stage. The organizer can extend the reception of answers to maintain a more competitive struggle;
   
6. While you are waiting for a new stage, you can discuss whose tree is better, whose snowman is smiling more broadly and so on.

Fight club.
Going in search of the New Year and the Firs, we accidentally saw a destroyed snowman. Trying to restore it, we heard a loud op, from somewhere in the forest thicket. Having left on a glade, saw, how the Tiger tries to destroy the snowmen constructed by the Dragon. But the Dragon is not so simple. And at the sight of us, both fled.
1 Task.
Anagram of the theme name: Bordeaux evil
Hint: MILA.R.

All with the coming one, how does a snowman smile? I have the widest)

[AVTEYVVV]

Let's do it like this. The curator of the topic throws answers to the general access. If the participant, his points are taken away and this task is not considered to him.

Purely my personal opinion

All with the coming
