No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Cog cannot have two items, so Cog must have Dance.
Cross Dance off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Bolt's item.
4
Bolt has Song; Cog has Dance; Dot has Juggle. Bolt's item gives 4.
The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 12. Apply +3 then -2. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 13. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 17?
4
Known stock: 12 + 3 - 2 = 13. Closing stock 17 minus 13 gives the missing return 4. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
Use the letter under each named shape.
The first two shapes give S then H. Decode the remaining shapes the same way.
Write SH first, then one letter per remaining shape. Choose the table row matching the whole message.
7
The decoded word is SHOW; its row gives 7.
The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Test sound must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Test sound, then Check light. Finish the chain and read position 2.
3
The only order is Test sound > Check light > Load program > Start show. Position 2 carries 3.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate B3 means column B, row 3. Its letter is S.
Begin with S, then read C1, D2, A1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
4
B3, C1, D2, A1 reads SHOW. The conversion table gives 4.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
Begin with Power, then Program.
Copy one digit per printed badge box from left to right. Do not sort by clue number; zero remains a digit.
