Highest tower wins.

Also, whilst building your tower you must shake Alex’s hand and say you’re from a different country once every 10 seconds.

Your time ends when you fail to shake Alex's hand and say you’re from a different country before Alex blows his whistle.

Your time starts when Alex blows his whistle.

Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • Despite listing 62 countries and building a tower 10 cans tall at one point, Aisling missed the very first whistle. She therefore only actually built a tower 1 can tall.
  • Bob realised the task didn't state they had to keep the rope tied to their waist, so removed it. He named just 3 countries and built a tower 6 cans high.
  • Mark named 92 countries and built a tower 6 cans high.
  • Nish named 25 countries in alphabetical order, and built a tower 5 cans high.
  • Sally named several countries more than once, as well as several states and cities. Despite building a tower 8 cans tall, she had only built a tower 2 cans tall by the time she made her first mistake.
