Saw the thread and thought it was going to be about R squadron at 43 regarding the nuclear convoy’s.

Wouldn’t be shouting about Commando School on here! Very controversial opinionI watched a couple of episodes today when I ought to have been studying for exams... Thoroughly enjoyable so far!
Although, Channel 4's 'Commando School' and Chris Terrill's 'Commando: On the Front Lines' are practically unbeatable for me![]()

We'll pretend we didn't hear that comment about Commando School ...![]()
If you don't mind me asking, why the negative opinion of it?
Isn’t that in scouting for boys? I haven’t read it in a while but I’m sure I saw that there.Trust you all got it within the five minutes.
ANSWERS TO THE CAMP RIDDLE
1. There are four tourists
four spoons on the picnic blanket and four names on the duty list.
2. They arrived a few days ago
A spider's web has appeared between their tent and a tree in that time.
3. They got there by boat
Note the oars by the tree.
4. No, a village is not far
..because there's a chicken wandering around.
5. The wind is blowing from the south
A flag that shows the wind direction is on top of the tent. (To tell which direction is which, look at the branches - they're normally bigger on the southern side of trees - if you're in the Northern Hemisphere.)
6. It’s morning
Take the answer from question five to figure out east and west then work out the time based on the shadows.
7. Alex is catching butterflies
His net is behind the tent.
8. Colin was on duty yesterday
Colin is rummaging through his backpack (marked with a 'c'); Alex is catching butterflies; James is taking photos as his tripod can be seen sticking out of his bag. This leaves Peter - then, according to the list, that means Colin was on duty yesterday.
9. Today is August 8th...
According to the list, Peter is on duty, and there is a watermelon - which ripen in August - on the ground.
A flag on the tent, known as a windsock, shows that the wind is blowing from the south, but to figure this out you need to be aware that branches on the southern side of trees in the UK get more sun and grow more densely.
To figure out the time, you need to use the previous answer which tells you south from north to figure out where is east and west and deduce the time based on shadows.
The answer is that it's morning because the boy by the cook pot's shadow extends to the west.
Because we're asked where Alex went, we can assume he's not visible in the picture. However a butterfly net can be seen behind the tent. So the answer is that he's gone to catch butterflies.
What's he catching butterflies with?Trust you all got it within the five minutes.
