Guy tried to use a compass that didn't work, starting to walk away from the Taskmaster house across the driveway, ending up guessing a random part of the garden. He was 30.97 metres away from the correct location, receiving 1 point.
Laura tried to use a compass that didn't work, unaware of how to read a compass, ending up impaling her umbrella into the driveway. She was 30.57 metres away from the correct location, receiving 2 points.
Matt initially tried to work out north by licking his finger, before deciding the house would be a north-facing house. He then decided that the task would be a trick task where the answer was where the umbrella was, deciding to impale the umbrella into the ground next to the red mat. He was 37 centimetres away from the correct location, receiving 5 points.
