- In this task the contestants must complete one or more tasks while also remembering to say a word (sometimes 'metronome', and sometimes a word of their choice) between each tick of a metronome.
- In some versions of the task, they have to complete a series of mini-tasks, such as inflating a balloon, and eating poppadoms.
