If you're correct, your points are doubled.
If you're wrong, the other team gets your points.
Task notes
- The contestants are stood in their teams on stage, with one member of each team wearing fishing waders.
- Next to each team, on either side of the stage, there is a shopping trolley full of assorted objects, including toilet rolls, a frying pan, a mop head, a birthday card, a rubber duck, some balloons, a fishing net, a sponge, a stuffed toy cat (Patatas?), a toilet brush, a towel, a colander, a rubber fish, and a sink plunger.
- The second part of the task is only completed by the team which won the first part, and Alex gives the team one minute to give their answer, which provides them with enough time to completely unload the objects from the waders.
- The correct number of items that the team must guess, in order to double their points, is represented by the birthday candles on the cake, on the front of the birthday card.
- There are some similarities between this task and the 'Fill your trousers' task featured in season 6 of Bäst i Test (which itself appears to have been based on a task from one of the Taskmaster books), but they are different enough that this task is categorised as original here.

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Frankie does well to load up Ivo's waders single-handedly, but finishes just behind the team of three. As the other team start the second part of their task, Ivo asks if he can remove his hands from his head, but is told by Alex that he cannot. Frankie is seen re-reading the task briefs, and then Ivo jumps up and down to dislodge some of the items from his own waders, and kicks a colander over at the other team, in an attempt to sabotage them. With the team of three successfully completing the second part of the task, Frankie and Ivo end the task with zero points.
- Jenny and Mae, with their two sets of hands, unsurprisingly manage to get all of the items into Kiell's waders first. Having been assigned the second part of the task, Mae acts as the designated counter, while Jenny unloads the items from Kiell's waders back into the shopping trolley. Kiell removes his hands from his head and helps unload the items, but it seems that this was not in violation of the rules for this part of the task. At the end of their minute, Mae shares that they counted 29 items, which turns out to be the correct answer, which was hidden in plain sight on the birthday cards. The team members therefore earn 10 points each. Note: when Alex tells Frankie to look at the birthday card in Ivo's waders, there seems to be some outrage and confusion in the audience, with people perhaps assuming that the birthday card was an item the team of three had somehow missed counting.
