Host Mars Greenhouse Registry

The greenhouse desk mixed three caretakers’ seed records with a cancelled delivery. Match each caretaker, decode the seed note and check the planting slots. 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.

Before you start

Clue check & hints

1. Seed

Hint 1

Start at S and check every letter.

Hint 2

The exact word starts in row 3, column 1. Check its letters against the target.

Hint 3

In that row, copy column 5, the cell immediately after the complete word.

Reveal host answer

8

Only row 3 has SEED followed immediately by 8. Other rows have changed or reversed letters.

2. Keeper

Hint 1

No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.

Hint 2

Jae cannot have two items, so Jae must have Bean.

Hint 3

Cross Bean off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Luis's item.

Reveal host answer

2

Ava has Corn; Jae has Bean; Luis has Pea. Luis's item gives 2.

3. Delivery

Hint 1

The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.

Hint 2

Start with 8. Apply +3 then -3. Ignore the cancelled +7.

Hint 3

The known entries leave 8. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 13?

Reveal host answer

5

Known stock: 8 + 3 - 3 = 8. Closing stock 13 minus 8 gives the missing return 5. Cancelled +7 never arrived.

4. Plot

Hint 1

Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.

Hint 2

The first coordinate B1 means column B, row 1. Its letter is S.

Hint 3

Begin with S, then read C2, C2, D3 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.

Reveal host answer

8

B1, C2, C2, D3 reads SEED. The conversion table gives 8.

5. Weight

Hint 1

Loose units are not parcels. Every parcel has equal weight.

Hint 2

Remove 1 loose units from 7. That leaves 6 for the equal parcels.

Hint 3

Share 6 equally among 3 parcels. Substitute one parcel's weight into the second rule.

Reveal host answer

2

Remove 1 from 7; share 6 among 3 parcels to get 2. Check 2 x 2 + 3 = 7.

6. Final

Hint 1

Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.

Hint 2

Use C1=Seed, C2=Keeper, C3=Delivery, C4=Plot, C5=Weight.

Hint 3

Each wrong record differs in just one column. Cross out all five wrong records, then copy the complete remaining code.

Reveal host answer

02517

Only Record B matches all five columns. Copy its printed code 02517.
