Hello! I'm looking forward to today, because today is the day of puzzles. Big Brother Bill has been talking about it with Mr. Vela for quite some time and they're both excited. It seems that even Ms. Ichtaca wants to join in the fun. She says her friends from last time won't bother Big Brother anymore. Not to mention we're experienced adventurers now so we know where to go and where not to go in the jungle. Here's a warm-up riddle. Listen. What do you call a bear without an ear? Do you know? Do you want me to tell the answer? It's a "B". Ha! Ha! Ha!

Jump, Big Brother! See how Big Brother Bill is barely winded while Mr. Vela breathes so heavily and has to sit down to massage his legs. This is because Big Brother keeps in shape and exercises regularly. You might not have seen him exercising during our adventure, but running and jumping over pits definitely counts! If only my own legs weren't so short and stubby. Anyway, want to hear a riddle about running? Here it goes. What always runs but never walks? I'll give a hint too. Cover your ears if you think you can solve the riddle without it! The hint is, Big Brother Bill wants to reach it right this moment. The answer is, of course, a river!

It seems we're heading back to the campsite. It's a bit of a shame, because I feel our group is doing great. Big Brother Bill and Mr. Vela are eager to find out if their solution to the six pillars puzzle works out. I'm sure it will, because Big Brother Bill is really smart and Mr. Vela too seems like he knows what he's talking about. I have to admit I don't quite understand the six pillars problems, but I've got a simpler version with six coins. Do you have six coins on hand? Any coins will do, pennies too. So take four coins and arrange them in a straight line. Count from one end. One. Two. Put one coin each on both sides of coin number 2. It's now cross-shaped! There's one line of four coins and one line of three coins, isn't there? Now comes the hard part! How do you get two lines of four coins each by moving just one coin! The time limit is until Big Brother Bill boils water for the evening tea at the camp.

The trick was stacking coins! You take one from the longer end and put it on top on the one in the middle. Congratulations! Now for some well-deserved rest. Big Brother Bill takes first watch today and I'll do my best to make sure he sleeps well after that. I don't need to sleep at all, being a stuffed toy, so I'll watch over everyone at the camp the entire night.

On, no, that's not good at all! We still got lots of time and we're going to leave our campsite like that. Big Brother, tell Mr. Vela that we need to clean up after ourselves. There should be no trace of us after we pack and go, it's common camping etiquette! See how Ms. Ichtaca does it. If I didn't knew already I couldn't tell where she was sleeping. Ms. Ichtaca!

All of sudden, Mr. Pawteron clamps his paws over his stitched mouth, remembering that he's supposed to not to attract attention from the woman with the bow.
