Beat on the drum after exactly a given number of seconds

  • In this live studio task the contestants are instructed to approach and then beat on drum after exactly a given number of seconds (often 9.58 seconds, which is the world record for the 100m sprint).
  • A bonus point is usually assigned to the contestant with the most unique or flamboyant walk up to the drum.

Original version

Adapted versions
