Task notes

Also on the table are: one giant bowl of risalamande (a festive rice porridge, within which one whole almond is traditionally hidden; the person who finds the almond wins a prize); four smaller bowls of the same; a long wooden spoon; and some scattered letters of the alphabet.
Also in the room is a fully decorated Christmas tree, with a star on top, puzzle pieces scattered in its branches, and wrapped gifts below.
There is also a large framed portrait of Lasse and Mark on an easel, in which Lasse is holding an exact duplicate of the star on top of the Christmas tree.
On the front edge of the table, the words 'mandlen er på julestjernen' ['the almond is on the Christmas star'] can be seen.
This same phrase is also spelled out by the letters on the table, the jigsaw in the tree, on the shaft of the wooden spoon (in 'Rovarspraket' ['robber language'] - a code language in which every consonant is doubled, and an 'O' is added in between the now-doubled consonants), in the bottom of the bowls, and on the back of the framed picture.
The almond is, indeed, suspended within the hollow centre of the Christmas star, in plain sight.
