The stability of an object is affected by: a. b.

the height of the centre of gravity the base area The bigger the base area, the higher the stability of an object. You are required to build a platform that can sustain the weight of 2 kg block using the concept of stability. The platform has to be stable and can stand in 30 seconds. But, your platform has to fulfill the following criteria: 1. 2. The height of the platform not less than 20 cm. The pegs have to be arranged horizontally and vertically. To complete this task, you are provided with 24 clothes pegs. Once you have finished, present your solution to the person in-charge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

Sudoku is a logic-based combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 99 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 33 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "sub-squares") contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. Instead of using numbers, you are required to complete a set of alphabet Sudoku. Once you have finished, present your solution to the person incharge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

The Principle of Moments, also known as Varignon's Theorem, states that the moment of any force is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of the components of that force. It is a very important principle that is often used in conjunction with the Principle of Transmissibility in order to solve systems of forces that are acting upon and/or within a structure. The Principle of Moments can be expressed by using the formula below: Load (n) x distance of load (m) = force (N) x distance of force (m) There is a block of plasticine with an unknown weight. From the statement, extract information as much as you can to determine the weight of the plasticine. To complete this task, you are provided with the following items: 1. Pivot 2. Metre rule 3. 150 g of weigh 4. A block of plasticine Once you have finished, present your solution to the person in-charge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

The quantity that relates the mass with the volume of an object is called density. The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of that substance. The higher the volume of the substance, the lower the density of the substance. Egg will sink in the water. However, there are ways to make an egg to float on water. Use your scientific knowledge to design a device that can help your egg to move from Point A to Point B. To complete this task, you are provided with the following items: A plastic bag 1. 2. 3. 4. Drinking straws Toothpick Rope An egg Once you have design your device, bring your egg and your device into the swimming pool. Assign 2 of your group members to go inside the swimming pool to move your device from Point A and Point B. As you enter the pool, you are not allowed to touch your device and you need to move your device by producing waves. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

Coordination is the process involved in the detection of stimulus and the subsequent response of the organism towards the stimulus. It involves both the nervous system and endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of endocrine glands. Endocrine glands produce and release hormones directly into the bloodstream. Appoint one of your team members to do this task. She/he will be given one flash card to be memorized within 1 minute. Next she/he needs to label a diagram based on the information on the flash card. To do this task, the appointed member needs to take 10 labels randomly and run to the diagram to place all the labels on the appropriate part. She/he will be given two minutes to complete this. If the appointed member failed to place all these 10 labels correctly within the allocated time, this task needs to be repeated again by appointing the other members. Once you have finished, present your solution to the person in-charge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

When the lamp lights up, we say an electric current is flowing round the circuit. For an electric current to flow, there must be a complete circuit, with no gaps. The electric of a current flowing in a circuit is measured in amperes or amps. The size of current can be measured using and ammeter that is connected in series. Across the lamp there is an electrical energy difference, called a potential energy or voltage. It is measured in volts(V) using a voltmeter that is connected in parallel. Your team is provided with the following apparatus:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Wire - 10 Bulb - 3 Voltmeter - 3 Ammeter - 1 Switch - 1

Set up your complete circuit that can light on all these 3 bulbs with the same brightness. You are required to use all the given apparatus. Once you have finished, present your solution to the person in-charge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

A sky-diver jumps out of a helicopter. He uses air resistance to land safely. At the start, there is only one force on the sky-diver. This is his weight. When his parachute opens, the air resistance increases. This makes him slow down. There are two forces acting on this sky-diver ; his weight and friction force. At this checkpoint, you have responsibility to save an egg. You are required to design parachute that can be used to save the egg. This egg will be thrown vertically from 5 meter height above the ground. You need to make sure this egg can land safely. To complete this task, you are provided with the following item.
1. 2. 3. 4.

String Toothpick Plastic bag Paper

Once you have completed the parachute give it to the person in-charge for testing. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.

SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world. An older and closely related meaning still in use today is that of Aristotle, for whom scientific knowledge was a body of reliable knowledge that can be logically and rationally explained. At this checkpoint, your team will be tested both physically and mentally. Ask you team leader to take one envelope provided. This envelope contains three questions which will test your general science knowledge. Each member is required to cross the commando trail to get one alphabet at one time. You need to do this repeatedly until you get all alphabets to present your answers to the person in-charge. Once you have finished, present your solution to the person in-charge. If you succeed, you will get your next clue. If you fail, you can choose 2 options: a) b) Repeat the challenge. Go to the Detour challenge. Remember, this challenge will test you physically and mentally.
