Task briefs

The task brief is found inside a fish bowl, on top of an oil drum, in front of the Taskmaster house. The briefs for the task are as follows:

Put the most carp pellets in the fish bowl.

You must not bend at the waist or the knees at any point.

You have 15 minutes.

Your time starts now.

On the back of the task brief:

Beware! The rooms are boobytrapped!

Tin cans containing carp pellets are located within the plastic dome, the caravan, the lab, and the living room, but all are booby-trapped in some way to make collecting the pellets more difficult.
The can in the plastic dome is placed on top of a colander on a plinth, but has no bottom to it, so the pellets will all drop out, if it is lifted.
A trip-wire is rigged up inside the entrance to the living room, which will pull the can of pellets in that room off its plinth, if tripped.
A can of pellets mounted in the caravan's sunroof is connected to a pulley system which will tip it over, if the contestants do not disconnect it before opening the lower half of the door.
A plinth in the lab, atop which there is a big can of carp pellets, will be toppled by another pulley system, if the contestants open the lab door too far.
To aid the contestants in retrieving any pellets which end up on the floor, Greg's giant statue in the garden is holding a long-handled dustpan and brush set.
