Decision

8. ONE of five options, and they are nothing like the same size

Required Often forgotten

E is eight explanations and one outing with walkie-talkies. C is six hours of logged listening that must be split between daylight and night. D needs a fox hunt somebody else runs and a receiver somebody else provides. Compare the cost before the subject.

Notes and warnings

Warning. THESE FIVE OPTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE. Option E is eight explanations and one outing with a pair of walkie-talkies. Option C is six hours of logged listening that the requirement forces you to split between daylight and darkness. Option D cannot be finished alone at all. It needs a fox hunt somebody else organises and a receiver somebody else provides. Compare what each costs before you compare what each is about.
