Translation detailsModel: mistral-large-2512.

The patrol stands in a line. The patrol leader, from a distance of several steps, gives commands such that their execution by those who hear them is invisible and inaudible to others. For example: close one eye, smile, and so on. Whoever hears—executes and earns a point in this game. The game is played, for example, to 10 points.

Variation: Whoever hears—steps back one pace; if they hear the next command—they step back again. Who will hear from the farthest point?

Variation: The same with eyes covered, so as not to read lips visually.
