Task notes
- There are two large jars on the table – one labelled ‘THIS’, and one labelled ‘THAT’.
- The ‘THIS’ jar is packed full of ping-pong, tennis, and rubber bouncy balls, in layers, and the bottom of the jar has been cut out so that the balls fall out of it when it is lifted from the table. The ‘THAT’ jar is empty.
- Also on the table, there are a hand whisk, a ladle, a pair of tongs, a dustpan brush, and a roll of red gaffer tape.
- On the shelf beneath the table, there is a vacuum cleaner.
- On the underside of the table, beneath the ‘THIS’ jar, there is a yellow and black sign warning the contestants not to lift it.
