When the supervisor is satisfied with their work, teams have to light a stove with dried fuel patties to boil milk for local children to receive their clue.

**Choice B:** *Feed the Buffalo*
Teams would have to cross the Ganges to collect two bales of hay, which are to be delivered to the addresses attached to them.
