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.

Read the event letters and all three witness notes.
Join immediately-before pairs as a block; other before notes set the direction between blocks.
Try the remaining positions, then check every note against your full order before reading the requested position.
D
The before relationships connect all four events. Place linked cards, check any immediate handoff and then read the specified position. Result: D.
Look at earliest start, each window end and the arrival deadline.
The journey uses time as well as the job; add both to the start of each window.
Check all three conditions for each window. A slot can be long enough yet start too early or arrive too late.
MID
Add job time and travel time to each printed start. Compare the sum with both that window's end and the deadline, then reject early starts. Result: MID.
Find all the event cards and the before notes.
Connect cards linked by the notes; a card position is counted from the beginning of the completed order.
Check every before relationship, then read only the requested position. The printed card arrangement is not the answer order.
3
The only order is Read survey > Check shell > Mark nest > File card. Position 2 carries 3. Result: 3.
Find the equal parcels and the separate loose units.
Remove the loose units before sharing the remaining weight among equal parcels.
Find one parcel from the first equation, then substitute that weight into the second equation before recording it.
4
Remove 4 from 12; share 8 among 2 parcels to get 4. Check 2 x 4 + 3 = 11. Result: 4.
Find the column letters and row numbers on the grid.
A coordinate gives column first and row second; keep the printed coordinate order.
Read the full word before using the conversion table. If the word is missing, recheck each row and column rather than choosing a similar word.
7
D1, A3, A3, B1 reads EGGS. The conversion table gives 7. Result: 7.
Keep the five named results beside the final plan and find the key for each badge.
Each badge controls a different fact, road leg, order note, pulse or habitat layer. Use the matching key exactly once.
Check the completed product against all five recovered facts. If two answers remain, locate the fact that distinguishes them rather than guessing.
C-A-E-B-F-D
The five recovered order notes link all six events. Arrange them into one continuous order. Removing any link leaves two neighboring sections without a known order. Checked result: C-A-E-B-F-D.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
