6 clues, gradual hints and a complete paper finish. Choose a reader, a recorder and a checker, then work through the mission together.
Your mission
Welcome to the clockmaker workshop. The clock repair cards must be returned to an order that allows every check to happen. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the clock repair schedule. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.
Combine before/after reports and work-and-travel windows.
Keep event names, times and badge labels together. Test the printed before, after and availability rules before accepting a schedule.
Look before you print
