You have been chosen to take part in an activity together with a group of twenty other individuals. You have been given the instructions that require each of you to go through an obstacle course that is fifty meters long while keeping your eyes closed. You will be eliminated from the competition if you collide with any of the obstacles along the path. When you do a practice trial run with your eyes open, you will find that it is not difficult at all to walk through (navigate) the course. You will not be permitted to observe the new course layout before your try, since the obstacles on the course will be modified following the completion of each person's run through the course.

There will be only one opportunity for you to complete the challenge with your eyes closed, and you will have a maximum of five minutes to do it.

What specific steps will you take to ensure that you are able to complete the obstacle course without any problems?
