Welcome to the kite festival field. Launch, inspection and landing notes were mixed before the festival rehearsal. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the kite demonstration. 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.
B
The before relationships connect all four events. Place linked cards, check any immediate handoff and then read the specified position. Result: B.
Start with the status field in Kite list.
The tag links an item to a bay; rows in separate records need not line up.
Keep only entries meeting every status test. Follow each printed join to the report field; do not guess from row position.
LEAF
Check source status first, then join the matching tag and bay. The useful information comes from separate records, not their printed row order. Result: LEAF.
Compare the same numbered position in the two strips.
A difference belongs to a pair of positions and is counted once, even when both shapes differ.
Mark every changed pair, check the unmarked pairs, then count your marks. Ignore titles and box outlines.
2
Different positions are 5, 8. There are 2 differences. Result: 2.
Find the exact target word and the allowed reading direction.
A reversed word or almost-matching spelling does not qualify.
Check every letter of the full word, then read the digit immediately after it in the permitted direction.
4
Only row 3 has WIND followed immediately by 4. Other rows have changed or reversed letters. 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
A1, B2, C3, D1 reads WIND. 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.
B-D-A-F-C-E
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: B-D-A-F-C-E.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
