Task brief

The actual text of the task brief is not known. The text below is paraphrased based on information disclosed in the episode:

Welcome to the new national sport, office chair curling.

The participants will, one-by-one, sit in this chair, then I will pull them back as far as they themselves want, until they say 'stop'.

There is a rubber band that is tightened, and they will be shot, or calmly rolled - it depends - forward.

The goal is to get as close as possible to the Kongen Befaler mark.

Whoever is closest gets five points.

Whoever is furthest away gets one.

You are not allowed to put your feet on the ground, or jerk the chair around to get it closer.

Task notes

The contestants are seated behind a screen on stage, preventing them from seeing an office chair, which has been set up on a long plastic carpet runner, with a large elastic band anchored to the stage either side, allowing the chair to be catapulted towards the front of the stage.
In front of the stage, a crash mat has been set up to catch anyone who travels too far.
The contestants are provided with an optional helmet, as safety gear.
