Captain Science gave his trusty seaman a task to paint their pirate ship, to change its appearance and protect it from other pirates. It is a task that is supposed to test their patience and discipline.

Big Beard provided ten brushes and pots of black paint and told them they had 40 minutes to finish painting the entire ship.

"Work as a team," said Captain Science. "There is no 'i' in we."

The pirates objected, "There's no 'i' in team!"

But Science insisted. "There's no 'i' in we, I say. Because we are a team."

All the Housemates have to take part in the task, but Science, as Captain, can't be involved. He does, however, get to choose a name for the ship. One cheeky pirate suggested calling it Science, but the Captain said, "No! I'm not that self-indulgent."

Check back later to see what name he did choose and how they got on with their task...
