Use the letter under each named shape.
The first two shapes give A then M. Decode the remaining shapes the same way.
Write AM first, then one letter per remaining shape. Choose the table row matching the whole message.
6
The decoded word is AMBER; its row gives 6.
The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 10. Apply +2 then -2. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 10. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 19?
9
Known stock: 10 + 2 - 2 = 10. Closing stock 19 minus 10 gives the missing return 9. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Otto cannot have two items, so Otto must have Box.
Cross Box off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Otto's item.
9
Nell has Case; Otto has Box; Tia has Tray. Otto's item gives 9.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate A3 means column A, row 3. Its letter is A.
Begin with A, then read B1, C2, D3, A2 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
6
A3, B1, C2, D3, A2 reads AMBER. The conversion table gives 6.
The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Read sample must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Read sample, then Check stock. Finish the chain and read position 4.
5
The only order is Read sample > Check stock > Seal case > Send case. Position 4 carries 5.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
