Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Make all of these things happen at the same time.

The monsters must be squatting.

The robot must be walking.

The marble must be rolling.

The cradle must be clicking.

The sand must be falling.

The fidget spinner must be spinning.

The candles must be out.

You must applaud when you think you've finished.

Fastest wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • It's notable that though a spinning top was present on the table, the task brief apparently did not require it to be spinning, so it was something of a red herring.

Attempts

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

  • Ardal panicked, failing to spin the fidget spinner, ending up lying on the floor waving his legs. He received 0 points.
  • Bridget initially panicked, threatening the pop-up monsters, but managed to just get everything to happen at the same time according to Greg looking at it frame by frame. As she was slower than Chris, she received 4 points.
  • Chris immediately blew out the candles so they wouldn't relight. He managed to make everything happen at the same time in 2 minutes and 57 seconds, receiving 5 points.
  • Judi panicked, repeating "I think I've got this" as she completed the task, but ended up having a monster pop up before she blew out the candles. She received 0 points.
  • Sophie tried standing on the monsters to keep them down, but ended up failing to keep turning the egg timer. She received 0 points.
