Task brief

The task brief is laid in a frying pan, on the counter of a food stall next to the caravan. The brief for the task is as follows:

Successfully flip a pancake with your pan onto a plate.

You may only select one combination of plates and pancake from Tom’s Plate and Pancake Shop.

Each pancake can only be used in one attempted flip.

The pancake flipped onto a plate from the furthest distance wins.

You have 15 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

Also on the counter of the food stall, there are stacks of pancakes, and plates of three different sizes.
Next to the stall, there is a chalkboard with the following written on it:
Tom’s Plates and Pancakes
S – Fifty
M – Twenty
L – Five
XL – One
No Refunds
Tom Cashman is stood on the other side of the food stall, wearing a chef’s hat and an apron.
The ‘XL’ plate is so large that it is hidden behind the caravan for the purposes of its dramatic revelation. It is carried out from behind the caravan by three members of the production crew, and then stood up on its edge, revealing that its diameter is larger than most people are tall.
The larger the plate the contestants choose, the less pancakes they have available to flip onto it.
