A certain point is chosen at a distance of 3 kilometers or more; two patrols compete to deliver a letter (or a token: a small flag, handkerchief, or twig) to this destination faster with the help of relay messengers (runners or cyclists). The patrols position their messengers at appropriate intervals; each one receives the letter from the predecessor and runs until reaching the next messenger of their patrol. Alternatively, each patrol may position messengers in pairs, allowing the “letter” to return or be exchanged for a “reply.”
