Task notes

The contestants remain seated for this task, but each has been provided with five table tennis paddles, each of which has the name of one of the contestants printed on it.
In the first round, the prompt is ‘Who has visited Rovaniemi the most?’. Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland, and the official hometown of Santa Claus.
In the second round, the prompt is ‘Who has skied to school the most?’ This nature of this question implies that the person is likely to either be older (and who therefore grew up before snowmobiles were commonly available), or is someone who grew up in a more rural part of Finland, where roads are not so frequently cleared of snow.
In the third round, the prompt is ‘Who has ordered the most items from TV Shop?’. TV Shop is a block of infomercials, shown late at night after TV channels have no programmes left to air.
In the fourth round, the prompt is ‘Who has requested the most autographs?’.
In the fifth round, the prompt is ‘Who has done the most winter swimming in the past year?’. Winter swimming is swimming in a hole cut into the ice of a frozen lake, followed by an immediate sauna (to prevent hypothermia). This is commonly done in Finland for its health benefits, not for recreational purposes.
In the final round, the prompt is ‘Who can fit the most eggs in one hand?’.
