Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Blow a ping pong ball or a beach ball from the mark on the plinth and all the way down the track.

If your ping pong ball or beach ball go off of the track, you are out.

The contestant who blows their choice the shortest distance each round is out.

You must blow with a new wind instrument in each round.

Last contestant remaining wins.

Task notes

  • The contestants are all lined up on along the left-hand side of the stage, each standing behind a table, upon which there are a colour-coordinated table tennis ball and beach ball.
  • On another table just to the right of the centre of the stage, there are a leaf-blower, a can of compressed air, a set of bellows, five recorders, and five drinking straws (the latter two sets of items are also colour-coordinated, to match the contestants’ balls).
  • A rectangular platform is positioned next to this table, in the centre of the stage, along with a plinth, from which the contestants must blow their balls.
