Hint #1

Separate the tasks so that oven and stove tasks are only on the oven or stove (and not in preparation).  Pay attention to the parameters of the prep tasks (what can be done at the same time and what can’t).

Hint #2

What can get cooking in the oven the soonest? (And what should be done beforehand to make that possible?)

Hint #3

You have limited time and need to get cooking quickly.  What can get cooking on the stove the soonest? (And what should be done beforehand to make that possible?)

Hint #4

One cook should be preparing rice spices while another cook is washing the rice to start the rice at 5:10.

Hint #5

The power outage should happen in the first 10 minutes.

Hint #6

Setting tables is a low priority and should happen at the end after all the prep is done.

Hint #7

The column totals are each 25.

Hint #8

Look at the lockbox to see how you might get a code.

Hint #9

Use the 3-digit number from each time slot.
