Shape, scale and accurate measurement
Captain Calamity uses his knowledge about shapes, reading scales and measuring accurately to win his quest. Princess Amber is imprisoned by the Evil Ruler. To rescue her Captain Calamity must bring back a bar of gold which is buried treasure on the Sandy Shore. He has a key which fits only one box in a room of a thousand boxes. By sorting the attributes of the differently shaped boxes he finds the one which contains a treasure map.
Once at the seaside, the challenge is to work out the size of a pace. A conversion chart is found on the treasure map so the distances can be accurately measured. Captain Calamity is successful in his quest.
