The field team must finish its careful survey before the nest path closes. Work together to reconstruct the nest survey.
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 dinosaur survey camp. The field team must finish its careful survey before the nest path closes. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the nest survey. 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
These are the actual figures and instructions from the player pack. Read the final page’s rule along with the earlier clues.
Clue 1 of 6
Arrange the four event cards using every witness note. "Immediately before" means there is no event between them. Report the requested position after the whole order has been checked.
Event cards A: Observe nest B: Draw nest C: Mark path D: Count shells Witness notes D is immediately before B. A is before D. C is immediately before A. Report the event ID in position 3.
Clue 2 of 6
The team needs time for both the job and the journey. It cannot start before the earliest time, leave a window unfinished, or arrive after the deadline. Which departure window works? Times are minutes after opening.
Departure windows (minutes after opening) EARLY: start 15; window ends 30 MID: start 25; window ends 40 LATE: start 35; window ends 55 Work and travel Earliest start 20; job 7 min. Travel 5 min; arrival deadline 40. Job + travel must both fit inside one window. Report the only possible window ID.
Clue 3 of 6
Shell desk: Combine every BEFORE rule to order the four actions. Write positions on the whole-sheet cards. Read position 2.
Cards: Check shell [3]; File card [7]; Mark nest [5]; Read survey [1]. Rules: Read survey BEFORE Mark nest; Check shell BEFORE File card; Mark nest BEFORE File card; Read survey BEFORE Check shell; Check shell BEFORE Mark nest. Read card position 2.
Clue 4 of 6
Load desk: Every parcel has the same whole-number weight. Remove loose units, find ONE parcel and check the second rule.
2 parcels + 4 loose units = 12 units 2 parcels + 3 loose units = 11 units One parcel = ? units. Whole numbers 1–9. All parcels have equal weight.
Clue 5 of 6
Label desk: Read the letter at each coordinate, in order. Letter = column; number = row. Convert the complete word using the printed table.
Columns: A, B, C, D. Rows: 1, 2, 3. 1 D S K E 2 J M Q T 3 G S V Y EGGS = 7 BONE = 0 CAMP = 3 READ COORDINATES IN ORDER: D1 > A3 > A3 > B1
Clue 6 of 6
Each recorded result recovers one order note. Use all five notes to put the six named events in order. A>B means A happens before B. Write all six event IDs from first to last; check that every note is satisfied.
Run sheet A: Observe nest B: Draw nest C: Mark path D: Close path E: Count shells F: Return card Recovered order notes Order: A=A>C; D=C>A Window: MID=A>E; EARLY=E>A Shell: 7=B>E; 3=E>B Load: 4=B>F; 1=F>B Label: 0=D>F; 7=F>D Order rule A>B means A happens before B. Use all five notes. Report all six event IDs in order, with hyphens.
