🔍 Key Concepts
• International Code of Signals (ICS) hoist procedure
• How numeral pennants and substitute flags are used when the same flag appears more than once in a group
• Order of hoisting letters vs. numbers and where the answer pennant is placed
💭 Think About
• Think about what the group "1.33" really means in terms of flags: how many times does the numeral pennant for 3 appear, and how is repetition shown?
• Ask yourself: when the same numeral is repeated, do you physically hoist the same numeral flag twice, or do you replace one occurrence with a substitute flag? If so, which substitute?
• Consider the correct sequence: first flag(s) in the group, then where the answer pennant goes, then which substitute (first, second, or third) would represent the repeated numeral.
✅ Before You Answer
• Identify which flag represents the repeated numeral 3 and match it to the correct substitute flag number (first, second, or third).
• Verify that the answer pennant is in the correct position relative to the numerals and substitutes in standard ICS practice.
• Make sure the chosen option uses only one physical 3 pennant, with the second 3 shown by an appropriate substitute, not a second 3 flag.
