Task notes

The contestants are lined up side-by-side at the left-hand side of the stage.
In the middle of the stage, a large slingshot device has been set up, which they must use to fire action figures equipped with parachutes from the stage.
In front of the stage, a large target with concentric black rings and a ‘TM’ wax seal at its centre has been placed on the floor.
At the right-hand side of the stage, there are four chairs for eliminated players to sit on.
Each contestant’s shot is judged based on the distance between the action figure and the centre of the target (i.e. not the parachute).
There are similarities between this task and other live tasks such as ‘Roll eggs to the centre of the target‘, ‘Don’t get fruit on the pizza‘, and ‘Shove your fish‘, but it is distinct enough in its set-up to be categorised here as original.
