AN OPEN CHALLENGE

Here is a challenge open to all.  The challenge is open-ended, there is no time limit--at least none imposed now.  I can afford to be generous, because none of you will be able to claim the prize!  Before I present the challenge itself, here are the rules:
- The challenge is, as mentioned, open to all, but only a MHS NJROTC cadet may actually receive the prize.  An outside winner will simply receive a public acknowledgement.  There is but one prize.
- The challenge will run until I grow weary of your feeble attempts to win.
- There are five questions.  The first person to correctly answer any three wins.
- Scoundrels who attempt to guess will be disqualified.

Here are the challenges:
  1. You are the navigator on the USS Neversail.  Why would you send one of your quartermasters to get a can of relative bearing grease?  ("RBG")
  2. Is there such a thing as left-handed monkey wrench?
  3. I ask "How long have you been a Cadet"?  What do you answer?
  4. Why are there no crow's feet on ships? (At least in theory--in practice, of course, there are often many.)
  5. What would you find in the ship's manger?
Good luck!
