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.
On a table from left to right, a yoga mat, a dice on a dice rolling tray, and a raw white onion on a conical glass.

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.
