Task briefs

The first task brief is hung on a length of string from the ceiling of the lab. The second task brief is laid on a small table on the side of the road outside the Kongen Befaler house. The briefs for the task are as follows:

Go and sit with Olli within two minutes.

He's somewhere on the grounds.

List as many things as you can remember from what hung from the mobile in the lab.

Also recount what Olli said to you when you entered the lab.

You may not go back into the house.

Task notes

Also hung from the crude mobile constructed from two planks of wood attached to the ceiling of the lab are a variety of other objects, including: a framed photo of Atle, a copper kettle, a wrapped sweet, a small telephone receiver, a screw, a small plastic sled, a small china coffee cup, a roll of gaffer tape, a pair of scissors, a water pistol, a toy fire engine, a small lampshade, a slice of white bread, and a comb.
Things Olli says to the contestants between the time they enter the lab and the time he leaves include: "Welcome inside", "Boat service", "Your fly is open", "Rubber band", "Small moose", "Bamboo", "A hand on the ground, my dad used to say", "And quack", "There's the letter", "Open it as soon as I'm gone", and "And offside rule".
After leaving the lab, Olli sits at a small table near the end of the driveway. The table is covered with a tablecloth and has two small cups of black coffee on it.
