Task brief

The task brief is presented to the contestants by Alex on an oar in the living room. The brief for the task is as follows:

Either throw five fives in a row, or do 100 press-ups, or eat a raw onion, or find the needle in the haystack, or sit silently for 10 minutes.

You may only attempt two of these things.

Fastest wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • The paddle of the oar has the word ‘EITHER’ printed on it, making it ‘The Either Oar’.
  • On the table, there is a rolled-up pink yoga mat, a six-sided wooden die in a circular wooden dice-rolling tray with a green baize lining, and a whole peeled onion balanced on top of a conical glass.
  • In the lab, there is a tiny haystack consisting of a small handful of hay, with a needle hidden within it.
  • According to the Taskmaster app, a version of this task was originally used during the filming of the New Year’s Treat special in 2024.
