Mastertasks:

Transfer water from one fishbowl to another

Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, both fishbowls are on the same table together, and this at the same height (making any potential syphoning more difficult), and many of the items supplied are different than in the original version. The wording of the task brief also allows for the contestants to transfer water back and forth between the bowls, rather than in just one direction. Contestants are not disqualified for moving the fishbowls, but any movements (even if accidental) are taken into account during scoring. While there is no secret additional extra element to the task leading to point deductions (i.e. no penalty for eating chocolate – in fact, no chocolate is event present), one of the contestants is assigned the extra challenge of coming up with new pet names for the Taskmaster, each time they move water.

Task notes

Also on the table, there are two fishbowls (one empty, and one filled with water), a snorkel, a swimming cap, a rubber glove, a copper sauna ladle (which is initially very effective, but becomes less so as the water level in the fishbowl drops), a roll of cling film, a roll of masking tape, a foot-operated pump, the nozzle attachment of a vacuum cleaner, and a perspex cube (which is too big to fit into the fishbowl) in which there is a chunk of candy floss.
When scoring the task, Jaakko takes into account any mistakes the contestants make during their attempts (i.e. moving the fishbowls), in addition to the amount of water moved. However, no-one is disqualified for moving the fishbowls.
