Task notes

Nearby, there is another garden arch with wire mesh and a small side table. Attached to the wire mesh of the garden arch, there is a banana, a didgeridoo, a pint of draft beer, a mannequin head, an artichoke, a laminator, a weighing scale, a plush elf, a stuffed parrot, a bag of candy, a ball of yarn, a wok, a xylophone, a plush zebra, and a trout pillow.
In Danish, the mini-tasks to be completed consist of a verb and an object (or objects) with consecutive letters: ‘Angrib Bananen’; ‘Charmér Digeridoo’en’; ‘Eliminer Fadøllen’; ‘Gok Hovedet’; ‘Ignorer Jordakokken’; ‘Kast Laminatoren’; ‘Massér Nissen’; ‘Opdag Papegøjens Quiz’; ‘Ryst Slikket’; ‘Trævl Ulden’; ‘Vej Wokken & Xylofonen’; ‘Ynk Zebraen’; and ‘Ændr Ørredens Å’.
The Dano-Norwegian alphabet consists of 29 letters, with the additional three letters being ‘Æ’, ‘Ø’, and ‘Å’, which are placed after ‘Z’, alphabetically.
As the contestants begin reading the task brief, Mark lights a fuse hanging from the bottom, leading to most of the paper going up in smoke, and making the majority of the text unreadable.
