Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Gather a herd of animals with exactly 22 legs.

You may not harm any animals.

You may only use animals on either side of this wall, and you may not use each other.

On Alex’s whistle, you must hurl one of your herd over the wall.

When your herd has 22 legs, only then may you don your tutus.

First team in tutus wins.
A shot of the two teams each with a one-legged flamingo, a two-legged kangaroo, a three-legged dog with, a four-legged Patatas, a five-legged monster, and six-legged ant. Both teams and set of animals are separated by one wall.

Task notes

  • The contestants are stood in their teams on either side of a partition wall, down the centre of the stage.
  • Each team has a herd of six stuffed toy animals arranged on a wooden bench, in order of number of legs: a flamingo with one leg, a kangaroo with two legs, a sick dog with three legs, Patatas the cat with four legs, a monster with five legs, and an ant with six legs.
  • Each team must throw one of the animals over the wall when Alex blows his whistle, every 15 seconds.
  • A pink tutu is laid on the floor next to the bench for each contestant to put on, when they achieve the correct number of legs.
