Silent Military Communication

How could a member of the military communicate silently and without light?

Show the answer »

By using braille.Braille was based on a tactile military code called night writing, developed by Charles Barbier in response to Napoleon’s demand for a means for soldiers to communicate silently at night and without light. In Barbier’s system, sets of 12 embossed dots encoded 36 different sounds. It proved to be too difficult for soldiers to recognize by touch and was rejected by the military.

Everyone Is Doing This Same Thing

Right now everyone in the world, no matter where they are, is doing the exactly same thing. What is it?
