Task brief
The brief for the task is as follows:
Convince the Taskmaster that your feet are not in ice when they are in ice, or that your feet aren't in ice when they are in ice.
You must keep your feet either in ice, or not in ice, for 30 seconds before the Taskmaster makes his judgment.
If the Taskmaster is correct, you are disqualified.
Last player standing wins.
Task notes
- The contestants are lined up on stage with no shoes on, each standing behind an open-topped wooden box containing a plastic tray full of iced water.
- The front of each wooden box is obscured by a taller wooden panel, which is connected - via a length of red rope - to another wooden panel in front of Greg's rotating throne.
- Greg is thus able to pull on his end of the ropes, after making his guesses, to reveal whether he is correct or not.
- It's unclear whether the task was actually mis-written to basically repeat the same condition twice ("your feet are not in ice when they are in ice" and "your feet aren't in ice when they are in ice" are the same), or whether Jenny just mis-read it.
