Task brief

The task brief is received in the middle of a field, where there is a small wooden table with wheels and an attached rope loop, and a wooden crate containing tin cans. The brief for the task is as follows:

Attach the rope’s loop around your waist.

Build a tower of cans on the table.

When David whistles, you should introduce yourself with name and country of origin.

If you fail to do so, you will be disqualified.

You may only say each country once.

You have five minutes.

Task notes

The table stands equidistant from David and the wooden crate, and the rope is only just long enough for the contestant to reach both without disturbing the table.
In the studio, David clarifies that he blew the whistle every 15 seconds.
When the contestants’ attempts are shows, it is quickly revealed that the wooden crate has no bottom (it appears to be the same crate used in a task in the previous episode), so it is not possible to move all of the cans closer to the table in one go.
