This was an interesting task, as it was basically many small tasks in one. I picked eleven that I can demonstrate my ability in.

1. Plan an Invasion
This was the most fun, and the task which takes up the most space here. I decided to plan an invasion using a chess board:

But of course, I couldn't attack normally. They'd be expecting that. So I carried out a sly flanking manoeuvre:

Then, the reinforcements arrive in their vehicles:

This confuses the opposition, so they don't notice the flanking groups coming round behind them:

The aim is to completely surround the enemy, so the vehicles help in this goal...

From this point my armies should have no trouble. However, I need a back-up plan in case they are beaten in battle.
My back-up involves this plane:

It first drops bombs:

If the situation becomes really desperate, the last resort action is the kamikaze attack:


For some reason this video doesn't always work. Don't ask me why.

2. Design a Building
I have already got experience in this as I draw buildings as a hobby. I went to an architect's office for two weeks for work experience. Here are some of my previous 'masterpieces':

3. Write a Sonnet
I'm not sure about sonnets, but I have written an amazing poem about poetry. It's based on my confusion at why some things are classed as poetry when they have no rhyme, rhythm or logical pattern:

What makes a poem a poem?

It isn’t rhyme because some poems don’t rhyme.

You can count the syllables in every line

And still no pattern emerges.

It makes no sense.

How can I tell it’s a poem and not

Just a piece of prose

Chopped into smaller lines?

Some say they have rhythm,

But I can’t always hear it.

So what makes a poem a poem, I think,

Is that the poet says it is.

 Eat your heart out, Shakespeare...

4. Balance Accounts
For a while now I have kept track of my coppers on post-it notes stuck to the box which contains them.

In order to document all of of my spendings, I set up a spreadsheet on Excel. It was vital that I did not change the amount of money in my pocket apart from the exchanges of money recrded. So I couldn't use my money-box or bank account in any way during the last three days.
I have documented changes in my money this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

5. Build a Wall
My original plan was to use slates around the pond in my garden to build a wall. However, it was very cold outside and I didn't want to freeze to death. So I found an alternate solution. I made a wall out of books. More specifically, The World Book Encyclopedia 1981.


6. Take Orders
I go to school. Need I say more?
If so: the teachers are always fussy about things like smart uniform and homework being handed in on time. I am able to take their orders when they tell me to tuck my shirt in or hand in an essay next Thursday.

7. Give Orders
While on my continuing recruitment drive for BMTHØ, I walk up to people and order them to 'join SF0'. As I now have a good sized team, I must be doing something right...
If you don't believe me, ask Gen-Nam. Or practically any other member of BMTHØ.

8. Cooperate
I have a team of SF0 players at my command, ready to compete in any cooperative task we want. If I can get them organised...

9. Act Alone
Many of the tasks I have already completed are proof of my ability to work alone to achieve a goal. See almost any task I have done. Even better, look through this task. I have worked almost completely on my own.

10. Solve Equations
I don't call myself a maths genius for nothing...
I got 192/200 in the maths GCSE mocks, which is easily an A*. I should also be taking a unit of A level this summer.
A successfully solved equation (actually two simultaneous equations) from a recent maths lesson:

The bit which is off the photo (after the 'OR's) is:
=8+1
=9

11. Cook a Tasty Meal
I regularly grill bacon and make BLT sandwiches. This is my favourite meal and if anyone thinks this does not count as a meal, I will personally force-feed them egg sandwiches. And that's bad.
Most of the background noise in these videos is completely irrelevent, as I was talking to my sister and the radio was on. These document the making of a rather messy BLT sandwich. I've made better.




12. Conn a Ship
I had to look this up in a dictionary. When I found out it just meant steer a ship, I thought how hard can it be...?
After a search, I found that I had no ship appropriate for this task, so I had to manufacture my own. The ship was named HMS Origami, giving a clue to the sustainable nature of the materials it was manufactured from. The steering method I chose was two pieces of string, one attached to each side of the ship. The theory was that I could pull on one string to change the direction.
The conditions on the water (the pond in my back garden) were hostile, with huge (compared to the ship) sheets of ice floating on the top.


Although I did complete the task, not everything went as planned, as the following videos show. It did steer, but the trouble was that it wouldn't go forwards. Incidently, I am assured that my voice doesn't actually sound like this. It sounds stupid the way the camera records it.



The wreckage of my ship was not a pretty sight:





Therefore, I can safely say that I am a human being, and not an insect.

The Long-awaited Sonnet
OK, here goes. My first attempt at writing a sonnet (and I hope it actually is one, although I have my doubts). According to what I've been taught in English lessons this is an Alexandrine sonnet, that is 12 lines, rhyming couplets, iambic pentameter. I apologise in advance to people who like poetry.

I have always stated that I can't write
Poetry. Now I discover, I might
Actually be able to achieve it.
Unless I find I have reached my limit.
This iambic line needs ten syllables.
I must be careful to follow the rules.
As Mozart wrote symphonies, I compose
This sonnet - in answer to doubts of those
Who told me that a sonnet this should be,
Rather than other types of poetry.
But in order to sum up let me say:
That it is worse to me in every way.
