The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Buy ticket must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Buy ticket, then Check board. Finish the chain and read position 4.
5
The only order is Buy ticket > Check board > Reach gate > Board train. Position 4 carries 5.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Sam cannot have two items, so Sam must have Box.
Cross Box off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Eve's item.
3
Eve has Case; Sam has Box; Tao has Bag. Eve's item gives 3.
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.
The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 9. Apply +4 then -1. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 12. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 21?
9
Known stock: 9 + 4 - 1 = 12. Closing stock 21 minus 12 gives the missing return 9. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate C1 means column C, row 1. Its letter is P.
Begin with P, then read D2, A1, A1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
3
C1, D2, A1, A1 reads PASS. The conversion table gives 3.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
Use C1=Time, C2=Traveler, C3=Print, C4=Fare, C5=Platform.
Each wrong record differs in just one column. Cross out all five wrong records, then copy the complete remaining code.
02627
Only Record C matches all five columns. Copy its printed code 02627.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
