The art studio labels are in the wrong envelopes. Compare the two print records, identify the artists and decode the shelf evidence without using color. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.

Compare position 1 with position 1, not with a nearby matching shape.
Position 1 is one difference: circle in A, diamond in B. Mark it once.
Compare the remaining numbered pairs one by one. Add one mark for each unequal pair, then count all your marks.
4
Different positions are 1, 3, 4, 6. There are 4 differences.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
May cannot have two items, so May must have Print.
Cross Print off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find May's item.
4
Sol has Sketch; May has Print; Jo has Card. May's item gives 4.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate C2 means column C, row 2. Its letter is A.
Begin with A, then read D3, A2, B3 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
7
C2, D3, A2, B3 reads ARTS. The conversion table gives 7.
The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 11. Apply +4 then -1. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 14. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 15?
1
Known stock: 11 + 4 - 1 = 14. Closing stock 15 minus 14 gives the missing return 1. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
Loose units are not parcels. Every parcel has equal weight.
Remove 1 loose units from 9. That leaves 8 for the equal parcels.
Share 8 equally among 2 parcels. Substitute one parcel's weight into the second rule.
4
Remove 1 from 9; share 8 among 2 parcels to get 4. Check 2 x 4 + 3 = 11.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
Use C1=Sketch, C2=Artist, C3=Shelf, C4=Stock, C5=Frame.
Each wrong record differs in just one column. Cross out all five wrong records, then copy the complete remaining code.
01807
Only Record A matches all five columns. Copy its printed code 01807.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
