These are independent lists, not matched rows.

Record your reason or uncertainty before opening the answer. Up to 500 characters. Show a text copy and copy it into your own document if you want to keep this first version.
After the comparison Optional
When both desks are ready, return to the case’s folded answer. This worksheet does not check your choices.
Up to 500 characters. If you later share a note publicly, keep names, matches and deductions out of it so the next pair can play.
