Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Put a headband around your head and shove as many things from the kitchen into it as possible.

Then make a pancake at least 20cm in diameter, and eat the whole thing.

You have two minutes to shove things into the headband, and then eight minutes to make and eat a pancake.

The winner is the one who keeps as many things in their headband as possible.

Your time starts now.

Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

  • Ante begins shoving utensils in his headband, but is wise enough to realise that there are some things he will need to leave out of it, like a spatula. Ante clearly has no idea how to make pancake batter, but he still manages to make one. He covers the top in a layer of a hazelnut and chocolate spread, and successfully eats the whole thing before time runs out. Ante's headband contains 12 items in the end., and he earns second place.
  • Ana does not get very many things into her headband, as she does not find the cutlery until the end of her time. Instead, she shoves several large things (like a set of tongs and a bowl) into the headband. Luckily, one of these things is a roll of garbage bags, and each bag was counted individually. Ana does not start eating until her time is almost up, but she still manages to finish the entire (very hot) pancake right before the whistle blows. Ana's headband contains 25 items in the end, and she wins the task.
  • After putting in a few utensils, Lidija panics about what to put in her headband. Most of the things she tries to add send other items falling out of the headband. She is confident in her ability to make pancake batter (even revealing that she made pancakes the day before). However, she is slow in making her batter, and as a result, her pancake is too raw for consumption by the end of her time. She finishes cooking the pancake anyway, and shares it with Luka. In the studio, Luka reveals that Lidija needed an additional seven minutes to cook and eat her pancake. Lidija's headband contains 11 items in the end, and she earns last place.
  • Igor fills his headband almost exclusively with things that would be helpful in making a pancake, like a whisk and a spatula. Igor has no idea how to make a pancake, and his batter is very watery when he pours it into the pan. As such, Igor does not have a pancake that is cooked enough for consumption by the end of his time. He starts eating it anyway and, while doing so, his entire headband falls off of his head. In the studio, Luka reveals that Igor needed an additional two minutes to cook and eat his pancake. Igor's headband contained just nine items until it fell off. He earns fourth place.
  • Enio shoves individual toothpicks into his headband, before confidently making his pancake. He covers it in some sort of fruit spread before eating it, even licking his plate clean. Luka reveals that Enio completed the task in 6 minutes 15 seconds, and had 268 objects in his headband in the end – 267 toothpicks and one spoon. However, Enio's pancake was smaller than the task required, so Enio earns third place.
