Translation detailsModel: mistral-large-2512.

The patrol leader asks their patrol to leave the room for a few minutes, while they themselves place a thimble, ring, coin, piece of paper, or any small object in a visible spot, though not too conspicuous. They then call the patrol back to search. Whoever spots the hidden object sits down without even giving away its location with their gaze. After some time, the patrol leader asks one of those seated to point out the spot to the rest who are still searching. The winner is the one who saw the thimble first, and in the next game, they take charge of hiding the thimble.
