Soviet riddle picture about tourists

Today, on April 1, I propose you to solve an interesting riddle picture about tourists from a Soviet textbook.

Look carefully at the picture and answer 9 questions.

1. How many tourists live in this camp? answer →
   Answer: 4 tourists. 4 spoons and plates, a list on a tree of 4 people.
2. When did they come here: today or a few days ago? answer →
   Answer: a few days ago. Spider web on the tent.
3. How did they get here? answer →
   Answer: sailed on a boat. Paddles near the tree
4. Is it far from the camp to the nearest village? answer →
   Answer: near. The picture shows a chicken.
5. Where does the wind blow from: the north or the south? answer →
   Answer: from the south. The tent shows a flag indicating the direction of the wind. If you look at the pines, the branches on the north side are shorter. So the wind is blowing from the south.
6. What time of day is it? answer →
   Answer: morning. Using the previous answer, you can determine the sides of the world, and looking at the shadow of the chef you can see that the sun is in the east, so it’s morning.
7. Where did Shura go? answer →
   Answer: he’s catching butterflies. Behind the bushes you can see a net.
8. Who was on duty yesterday? (Give a name.) answer →
   Answer: Kolya. Today Shura is not on duty (he is catching butterflies), not Kolya (he is near a backpack with the letter “K”), and not Vasya (he is taking photos, in his backpack with the letter “V” is a tripod). So Peter is on duty today, and Kolya was on duty yesterday.
9. What is the day and month today? answer →
   Answer: August 8. Today Peter is on duty, so it’s 8th. Watermelon is visible, so it’s August.
