The dinosaur camp mixed six nest survey cards. Each of five desk checks will rule out one mistaken nest. Recover every check before choosing the correct card. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.

Begin at S and trace only white cells.
The first move from S is right. Follow only edge-connected white cells; a corner touch cannot cross a wall.
The connected corridor reaches row 5, column 5. Copy the exit label printed there.
4
The open corridor from S reaches row 5 column 5, exit 4; the other labelled exits are separated by walls.
No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Sol cannot have two items, so Sol must have Shell.
Cross Shell off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Sol's item.
7
Jem has Tag; Sol has Shell; Tara has Chart. Sol's item gives 7.
The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Read survey must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Read survey, then Check shell. Finish the chain and read position 2.
3
The only order is Read survey > Check shell > Mark nest > File card. Position 2 carries 3.
Loose units are not parcels. Every parcel has equal weight.
Remove 4 loose units from 12. That leaves 8 for the equal parcels.
Share 8 equally among 2 parcels. Substitute one parcel's weight into the second rule.
4
Remove 4 from 12; share 8 among 2 parcels to get 4. Check 2 x 4 + 3 = 11.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate D1 means column D, row 1. Its letter is E.
Begin with E, then read A3, A3, B1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
7
D1, A3, A3, B1 reads EGGS. The conversion table gives 7.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
Use C1=Trail, C2=Keeper, C3=Shell, C4=Load, C5=Label.
Each wrong record differs in just one column. Cross out all five wrong records, then copy the complete remaining code.
0307
Only Nest A matches all five columns. Copy its printed code 0307.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
