Task brief

The task brief is presented to Anne, Jenny, Josh, and Wil in different locations, just after they’ve finished their attempts at different tasks. The brief for the task is as follows:

Lloyd threw a parsnip over a shed and caught it.

Can you do the same?

If you do it in fewer attempts than Lloyd, Lloyd is wrong.

You have 10 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • After Lloyd Langford throws his parsnip over the shed as his ‘breath-taking’ act in the previous task, he is very pleased with himself, and suggests that the show should challenge the other contestants to do the same. They decide to do just that, setting everyone else the challenge of completing the task in fewer attempts than Lloyd, to bring him down a peg or two.

Notes on task scores

  • Although the task itself was added just to put Lloyd in his place, Tom Gleeson ultimately decides to award everyone except Lloyd a bonus point for completing the task more efficiently than he had.
