Each pirate was playing a different level, and each
pirate had a different minimum patch size.
That
means we can partition the levels like so: {1}. {2}, {3, 12}, {4, 11}, {5, 10},
{6, 7, 8, 9}. These are the groupings of
levels by patch size, so we choose at most one level from each partition.
CraftingProj:
"Huzzah! I filled all the orders on
my first board!"
CraftingProj: "Um.. no... I got a Triple."
Easy
enough: Only level 1 has only 3 orders. CraftingProj was playing level 1, used 1 board, and got a
triple on it.
Rhodin’s
statement indicates that she used 3 boards, the first with a triple, the second
with a double (almost a triple), and the last with a single, meaning that she
completed 6 orders and thus was on a level greater than or equal to 4.
Orsino
has only gotten doubles or less based on his statement.
Given
that only 3 pirates filled orange, levels 1 and 2 were both required. That also meant that the other three levels
could not be within 1 or 2 of each other.
Clue 4 eliminates levels 11 and 12 from consideration since the level
used with the smallest dye had to be smaller than either of those. That left only levels 4, 7, and 10 as valid
possibilities. Summary: levels used are
1, 2, 4, 7, 10.
Note for later use: 1 + 2 + 4 = 7; 1 + 2 + 7 = 10.
They (the 3 oranges) each used a different
pattern-type.
The only pirate to get a Vegas was playing a level
that is the sum of the levels of the two pirates who used the "plain"
pattern-type and the player who had the smallest amount of starting dye. (Note: four different players are mentioned.)
CraftingProj
is the player who used the smallest amount of starting
dye, so can't use the plain pattern and doesn't use orange. This means that level 2 must use plain
pattern. The Vegas is either level 7 or
level 10.
Two pirates each saw a "Bingo!" flash on their final boards.
One was PeglegPaul, and the other was the only
pirate to use the "letters" pattern type. Of these two, one continued his combo chain
to make an even higher combo, but the other had filled all his/her orders.
CraftingProj
must have used the Hatched pattern. We
already know that CraftingProj, Orsino,
and Rhodin didn't get any Bingos or higher, so Mat
must be the one who used Letters pattern.
The only two pirates who used the same number of
boards each got a double on the first board.
These
two pirates can't be CraftingProj, Rhodin, or the one who got a Vegas. One of the two must be level 2, which has to
be Orsino, so he got 2+2. The other must be either Mat or PeglegPaul, so he would have 2+4.

The pirate who took the largest number of boards (4)
had the largest amount of starting sponges.
Since
CraftingProj took 1 board, Orsino
and the pirate who got (2+4) took 2, and Rhodin
took 3, we know that the pirate who got a Vegas took 4, which must have been 0
+ 0 + 0 + 6, Since he has the most starting sponges, he also has the largest
amount of starting dye. Going back to #2
(Mat's level is the sum of the levels of
the player who had the largest amount of starting dye,…), we know it's not
Mat, so PeglegPaul got the Vegas and Mat got the 2+4. We already noted above that the Vegas had to
be level 7 or 10, and Mat also has to be either 7 or 10. This means Rhodin is
level 4.

The only pirate to get a Vegas was playing a level
that is the sum of the levels of the two pirates who used the "plain"
pattern-type and the player who had the smallest amount of starting dye. (Note: four different players are mentioned.)
This
means PeglegPaul can't use Plain; he must be Hatched
and Rhodin Plain.
The sum of the three levels in this clue would be 7, so PeglegPaul is level 7 and Mat is level 10.
Mat's level is the sum of the levels of the player who
had the largest amount of starting dye, the player who got two doubles, and the
player who had the largest number of tiles per order. (Note: four different
players are mentioned.)
Checking,
the largest number of tiles per order of the 5 levels is level 7, so we could
have determined that Mat was level 10 earlier.
