Task notes

The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, each standing behind a table upon which there is an empty glass.
All of the contestants are blindfolded, and are wearing vests with columns of loops running down either side of their chests. There is also a row of loops running across their bellies.
Each loop holds a glass tube with a screw-top lid. Only some of the tubes contain water.
After the task is read, Vasco clarifies that the contestants are allowed to smell and taste their liquids, if they so choose.
Though it isn’t explicitly confirmed, based on the less-than-scientific method used to determine the water content of each glass, it appears that all of the clear liquids really are water, and not other clear liquids such as vinegar.
