Why was Adam exempt from the transgression when the transgression was disobedience?

Adam exempt?

Romans 5:12. Sin entered the world through one man [Adam]. Not exempt. His punishment:

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)
Being discussed here

By what authority are you making that claim?

Who was 'guiltiest' is not the determining factor. Read up on federal headship.

Not rule, federal headship.

Are you claiming that it was a wise decision to choose knowledge and wisdom over God's word?

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
