[QUIZ] Swiss Military Manual
on: December 31, 2016, 04:38:43 PM
Attached you find a slightly censored page from a Swiss Military Manual.

Can you guess what those instructions try to teach the ADA (Angehöriger der Armee = Military Personel)?

Here it comes... I'm rewarding the first correct or the best answer (my choice) with a Nitecore TIP in silver :salute:
Fire away, no limit on guesses but keep it to one guess per post (so it is easier for me to sort through).

There's a lot less to learn if you join the Swiss Navy because Lake Geneva isn't that big?

First it IS imperative to notice, that the two circles are not of the same size! Basically, it is instructions on how to cut a loaf of cheese depending on the size... More details in the morning :salute:

Also, we have a winner Congratz Corwyn
How to slice cheese?

If 50ft could tell Italy apart from Switzerland he would have solved the riddle within minutes :D

After a little customs hickup it finally made it here.

Really great light... light, good looking, ergonomical and insanely powerful for the size.

I mean to get one for ages but shipping was too annoying. I gave away 3 but never had one for myself. Glad I finally have one for my edc.

3 cheers for Eth.
