| abstract | - A pair of castaways from each tribe would swim out into the ocean to retrieve one of four crates with a different color on each face of a crate. Between the beach and crates would be a "battle zone" marked off by four flags. Within this zone, an opposing tribe member would try to prevent the two castaways from crossing the zone and reaching the crate. Once the two castaways crossed the zone, they would bring a crate back to the beach, and a second pair of castaways would go out to retrieve another crate. Once all four crates were retrieved, the crates would need to be stacked so that one color didn't show more than once on each column. The first tribe to complete the puzzle would win. In Survivor: South Pacific, this challenge was modified for individual use. Instead of having to retrieve the crates from the sea, the castaways would solve a puzzle to obtain a hatchet and cut a rope which would drop a bag with the colored cubes. In Survivor: Blood vs. Water, the castaways would bounce the blocks along a rope tunnel to retrieve them. In Survivor: Cambodia, this challenge was combined with Boats, Brains, Brawn. The castaways were to set off in boats to collect four separate colored crates which would be used to complete the puzzle. In Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, two teams would race to their rafts that are attached to a rope, they would then use the rope to pull themselves into a station, in which they must take turns collecting keys and sliding down a pole. Once that was done, they race to shore to unlock their pieces and solve the puzzle.
