A dark evening. One scout sets off into the field, counting his steps. After some time, he stops, and at the patrol leader’s whistle, he flashes an electric torch for 5 seconds. Then he makes a mark where he stood and moves aside or hides. The rest estimate how far away the light was and in which direction it flashed. Then everyone sets off, and each stops at the spot where, in their estimation, the light had flashed. Who stands closest—and who went in the best direction? The one who judged best takes the torch and goes into the field, while the rest will do the judging.
