Task brief

The contestants find the task brief within a basket of eggs on the balcony at the side of the house. The brief for the task is as follows:

Throw an egg onto the Christmas table.

The eggs must be thrown from the balcony.

Whoever lands a whole egg closest to the middle of the Christmas table wins.

Broken eggs do not count.

You may not leave the balcony, and you have 20 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

The task takes place in front of the shed, where a circular target has been painted on a table, which is also decorated with tinsel and a small figurine of Santa Claus.
David observes from atop his umpire's chair.
The contestants are provided with a tank of helium and box of supplies, including duct tape, bubble-wrap, uninflated balloons, an umbrella, a reel of cord, a small basket, and a small fishing net.
As Babben points out, the table has castors (in Swedish, the words for Christmas ['jul'] and wheel ['hjul'] sound very similar), so could have been moved closer to the balcony, if the contestants had found a way to hook and pull it.
