Welcome to the snow train station. The banner poles are too bulky for some passages between the train carriages. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to route the banner delivery. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.

Find S, F, the required-stop list and any CLOSED edge.
A cheap shortcut is not a complete journey if it skips a required stop.
List the legal complete paths, add their edge costs and compare only paths that meet every condition.
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.
Start with the status field in Carriage orders.
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.
NORTH
Check source status first, then join the matching tag. The useful information comes from separate records, not their printed row order. Result: NORTH.
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.
9
Remove 3 from 39; share 36 among 4 parcels to get 9. Check 2 x 9 + 3 = 21. Result: 9.
Find the three people, the three items and the forbidden pairings.
Each item is used once. A person ruled out of two items must have the third.
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.
6
Ana has Flag; Eli has Lamp; Max has Bell. Max's item gives 6. Result: 6.
Find the symbol key and the message strip.
Use the same key every time a symbol repeats. Read the message in its printed order.
Write the complete decoded word, check every symbol, then use the conversion row for that exact word.
6
The decoded word is RAIL; its row gives 6. Result: 6.
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-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.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
