Secure the container with the largest item or collection
- In this live studio task, each of the contestants stands behind a container (e.g. a box or bucket).
- Each container either contains one object of varying size (e.g. carrots), or a collection of objects which varies in number (e.g. rubber ducks).
- The contestants must aim to end up with the container which contains either the largest version of the item (e.g. the largest carrot), or the largest collection of objects (e.g. the most rubber ducks).
- Each contestant is given an opportunity to either keep their container, or risk swapping with someone else.
- In some versions of the task, the contestants may get to peek at the contents of their new container, once they have swapped.
