Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • James checked what was on around the house, and caught Alex turning Ollie around, running to and from the switch to catch Alex again. He worked out what the switch did in 5 minutes and 35 seconds.
  • Jessica ended up running around the house, trying to work out what the switch did, before realising that Ollie had moved. She worked out what the switch did in 11 minutes and 49 seconds.
  • Kerry ended up running around the house, trying to work out what the switch did, before realising that Ollie had moved. She worked out what the switch did in 9 minutes and 26 seconds.
  • Phil ended up running around the house, trying to work out what the switch did, before realising that Ollie had moved. He worked out what the switch did in 10 minutes and 50 seconds.
  • Rhod turned off another switch connected to the main switch, claiming nothing would happen when he turned on the switch, not realising that something could be happening outside of the lab. Although he 'completed' the task in 3 minutes and 37 seconds, he received 1 point for getting the answer wrong.
