Task notes

  • The task takes place in the caravan, within which David locks the contestants, once they have entered, by padlocking a chain which prevents the door from opening more than a couple of inches.
  • There is a magnifying glass and a piggy-bank containing 99 krona in change on the table.
  • Just outside the caravan, there is a plinth, upon which there is a small bowl of rice porridge, containing an almond.
  • A cupboard in the caravan is locked with a four-digit combination lock.
  • Visible through one of the windows are four number-shaped foil balloons, anchored with bricks, which give the contestants the code for the combination lock (5701).
  • The fridge is also padlocked, and contains a screwdriver frozen in a block of ice, and a box containing a phone, which is fastened closed with a screw.
  • On the counter, there is a Thermos flask containing hot water, and a large ceramic bowl.
  • When the contestants call the only number saved in the phone, they are connected to an answering machine for David Sundin's key business, which informs them that he sells house keys, car keys, and 'caravan padlock keys', each for just 100 krona.
  • The missing 1 krona coin is found in the storage space beneath the table seating.
