Host Raptor Camp Bridge

Welcome to the raptor research camp. Planks and survey tools need different bridge crossings because the load limits differ. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to plan the camp bridge delivery. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.

Clue check & hints

1. Path

Hint 1

Find S, F, the required-stop list and any CLOSED edge.

Hint 2

A cheap shortcut is not a complete journey if it skips a required stop.

Hint 3

List the legal complete paths, add their edge costs and compare only paths that meet every condition.

Reveal host answer

S-A-C-F

Discard closed roads and paths missing A. Add the costs of every remaining edge; the lowest eligible total determines the whole route. Result: S-A-C-F.

2. Record

Hint 1

Start with the status field in Supply list.

Hint 2

The tag links an item to a bay; rows in separate records need not line up.

Hint 3

Keep only entries meeting every status test. Follow each printed join to the report field; do not guess from row position.

Reveal host answer

NORTH

Check source status first, then join the matching tag. The useful information comes from separate records, not their printed row order. Result: NORTH.

3. Builder

Hint 1

Find the three people, the three items and the forbidden pairings.

Hint 2

Each item is used once. A person ruled out of two items must have the third.

Hint 3

Place the most restricted person, remove that item from the others, then use the remaining rule. Read the target person only after checking all pairs.

Reveal host answer

5

Bex has Beam; Oli has Map; Rae has Rope. Oli's item gives 5. Result: 5.

4. Checks

Hint 1

Find all the event cards and the before notes.

Hint 2

Connect cards linked by the notes; a card position is counted from the beginning of the completed order.

Hint 3

Check every before relationship, then read only the requested position. The printed card arrangement is not the answer order.

Reveal host answer

9

The only order is Read plan > Check beam > Mark bridge > Cross camp. Position 4 carries 9. Result: 9.

5. Signal

Hint 1

Find the symbol key and the message strip.

Hint 2

Use the same key every time a symbol repeats. Read the message in its printed order.

Hint 3

Write the complete decoded word, check every symbol, then use the conversion row for that exact word.

Reveal host answer

6

The decoded word is CAMP; its row gives 6. Result: 6.

6. Final

Needs: Path, Record, Builder, Checks, Signal

Hint 1

Keep the five named results beside the final plan and find the key for each badge.

Hint 2

Each badge controls a different fact, road leg, order note, pulse or habitat layer. Use the matching key exactly once.

Hint 3

Check the completed product against all five recovered facts. If two answers remain, locate the fact that distinguishes them rather than guessing.

Reveal host answer

B-C-F-G-K

Recover all five loads. The cheaper road works for a small load; a large load needs the higher-capacity road. The resulting five-leg route records every necessary decision. Checked result: B-C-F-G-K.
