Jimmy guesses some passwords

Jimmy starts off by trying to ask Tom Cashman 'what's the password?', which Tom accepts as the first password.

Subsequent accepted passwords are 'roses are red, violets are blue', 'how old are you?', and 'flower'.

He believes there is a pattern, but can't remember his previous successful guesses.

Unsuccessful guesses, as Jimmy gets increasingly frustrated, include 'my name is Jimmy', 'the flower is red', 'toys', 'Taskmaster's stupid', 'can I please just figure it out in my brain?', 'what's the password, Tom?' and 'do you even want these flowers?'.

Starting to give up, he lies down on the path at the 20th rose and guesses 'get comfortable, Tom', which is accepted.

At this point, the only letters not used are 'E', 'K', 'Q', 'U', 'V', 'X', and 'Z'.

He apparently starts working his way through the alphabet at this point, guessing 'a word beginning with C', 'a word beginning with D', and 'a word beginning with E' (which Tom accepts).

He then continues this tactic, resorting to just saying the letters in turn until he reaches 'X', which Tom accepts.

His final accepted password is 'zebras are cool'.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson shares how satisfying it was for him to watch Jimmy lose his shit, after seeing him being so positive and happy on children's TV for so many years.

Tom Cashman reveals that Jimmy made a total of 323 guesses, which secures him second place.
