Task brief

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

Olli will read out various categories, and you must write down one thing from the given category.

The aim is to write the same word as one or more of the others.

If you succeed in doing so, you will go through to the next round.

If no-one has written the same word as you, you are eliminated, and must sit on the loser's bench.

If everyone writes different words, then the round is cancelled, and we start a new one.

You are not allowed to talk to each other.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up on stage behind tables, and separated by screens to prevent them seeing what each other are doing.
Each of them has a chalkboard, a piece of chalk to write down their words with, and a chalkboard eraser.
The categories Olli calls out are: 'something you do on a toilet'; 'something you eat with'; and 'something you do in secret'.
When the game is down to just two contestants, the tie is broken by the contestants guessing how many 'jellymen' sweets Olli has in his pocket (27).
