Count macaroni into a container
- In this task, the contestants must attempt to accurately count pieces of macaroni into a vessel.
- They begin with a very short time limit, but this limit gets reset each time they correctly set themselves and solve a new multiplication calculation (thus likely causing them to forget the number they have counted to so far).
- The contestant who most accurately counts the pieces of macaroni they've placed in the vessel wins.
Original version
In this version of the task, the vessel into which the contestants must count the macaroni is a blue cup, and the contestants begin with 20 seconds on the clock.
Adaptations
In this version of the task, the vessel into which the contestants must count the macaroni is a Viking drinking horn, and the contestants begin with 30 seconds on the clock.
