Complete a series of actions while estimating time
- In this live studio task, the contestants are instructed to perform a series of actions while mentally keeping track of time.
Original version
In this version of the task, the contestants are divided by screens so they cannot see one another, and must sit silently with their eyes shut for 30 seconds, then wave and smile at the Taskmaster for 30 seconds, then lie on the floor and swim for 30 seconds. The winner is the contestant with the most accurate 30 second average.
Adaptations
In this version of the task, the contestants must attempt to squeeze a rubber chicken when 30 seconds have passed, and then ring a bell when 60 seconds have passed. The contestants are not divided by screens, since both actions result in noises being made.
