Task brief

The task brief is laid on a cushioned stool in the gazebo. The brief for the task is as follows:

Do something brave with the pen(cil) or the sword.

The bravest act wins.

You must choose the pen or the sword before David has eaten his apple.

You have 10 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • Also on the stool, there is a sharpened pencil, a katana sword, and an apple, which David immediately begins eating at pace, once the task brief has been read.
  • The Swedish word ‘penna’ can refer to any hand-held writing instrument, including both pens and pencils, so the Swedish version of the phrase ‘The pen is mightier than the sword’ (‘Pennan är mäktigare än svärdet’) covers both types of writing implements.
