This is no Multi-row formula route.

Day 1 Solution 

Spoiler
Since I already was slow to solve due to being stuck at an airport when the puzzle launched last night, I figured it wouldn't hurt to take my time and solve part 1 two ways, just for kicks - once with Multi-Row Formula tool, which felt like the obvious first choice and is great for some festive Tool Golf... and then once without using the Multi-Row tool (which ended up making Part 2 super simple to solve).

@AkimasaKajitani I like how you use the star icons in the Browse tools to show where your answers are, that is very clever!!

@mceleavey I am not sure that I like that we both took the same approach... your training must have slowly been turning me to the dark side
