Host Community Oven Orders

Welcome to the community paper bakery. The model bakery has cooling and packing steps that must fit between the order checks. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the paper bakery run. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.

Clue check & hints

1. Order

Hint 1

Read the event letters and all three witness notes.

Hint 2

Join immediately-before pairs as a block; other before notes set the direction between blocks.

Hint 3

Try the remaining positions, then check every note against your full order before reading the requested position.

Reveal host answer

B

The before relationships connect all four events. Place linked cards, check any immediate handoff and then read the specified position. Result: B.

2. Kit

Hint 1

Read each supply card and the three required needs.

Hint 2

A light card alone may leave a need uncovered; a shared supply counts for both needs.

Hint 3

Compare complete combinations, adding each chosen card weight once. Reject any combination over the limit before choosing the lightest.

Reveal host answer

E

Compare coverage before weight. Only complete kits qualify; minimize their combined weight and report the selected cards in alphabetical order. Result: E.

3. Window

Hint 1

Look at earliest start, each window end and the arrival deadline.

Hint 2

The journey uses time as well as the job; add both to the start of each window.

Hint 3

Check all three conditions for each window. A slot can be long enough yet start too early or arrive too late.

Reveal host answer

TRAY-B

Add job time and travel time to each printed start. Compare the sum with both that window's end and the deadline, then reject early starts. Result: TRAY-B.

4. Record

Hint 1

Start with the status field in Order slips.

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

WEST

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

5. Habitat

Hint 1

Read the order-box profiles and the requirements.

Hint 2

Compare the same named feature across cards; check negative requirements as carefully as positive ones.

Hint 3

Keep a card only if it passes every requirement. Point to the failing feature before crossing out each alternative.

Reveal host answer

CARRY

Compare all printed features with every positive and negative requirement. Reject each near match using the particular requirement it fails. Result: CARRY.

6. Final

Needs: Order, Kit, Window, Record, Habitat

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

C-A-E-B-F-D

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: C-A-E-B-F-D.
