Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A sponsored "jail-breakis the latest charitable extravaganza. It was particularly appropriate because the proceeds are to be used to improve youth-club amenities, which may help to discourage youngsters from getting into prison.

The exercise was arranged by the London Federation of Boy's Clubs. It required about a dozen teams, each of three boys, to get as far from London as they could in six hours after being "released" from the City of London police headquarters.

Downside Youth Club's team persuaded National Express to give them tickets to Manchester by White Arrow Coach, in which they covered 220 miles in four hours twenty minutes. Their sponsorship is expected to have raised £100.

National helped another team to do the trip from Victoria to a hovercraft which was to take them to Dieppe. The greatest distances were, however, covered by some "stowaways" on aircraft to Scotland.
