In this version of the task, the contestants must choose whether they want to paint on a canvas 10 centimetres or 2 metres above them.
In this version of the task, the contestants are instructed to choose a distance of either 2 metres or 20 centimetres. However, they are not provided with any context for how these distances affect the task, prior to making their decision. Instead of being instructed to paint a flattering portrait of the Taskmaster, they are told to portray whatever they think are the two strongest characteristics of his persona.
