Task briefs

The initial task brief is laid on top of a mysterious wire object held by a large binder clip, on the desk in the study. The follow-up task brief is read out on stage in the studio, as with any other live task. The briefs for the task are as follows:

Bring an item to the studio recording that the least amount of the other participants know what it is.

If no-one knows what your item is, you get no points.

Your time starts now.

Guess what the other contestants’ items are.

Each correct guess gives 1 point.

Task notes

Lasse clarifies, in the studio, how the scoring of the task works for the owners of the objects:
- if only one person identifies a contestant’s object, the object’s owner earns 3 points;
- if two contestants identify the object, the owner earns 2 points;
- if three contestants identify the object, the owner earns 1 point;
- and if everyone – or no-one – identifies the object, the owner earns no points.
The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, each standing behind a plinth, and equipped with a small chalkboard, some chalk, and a chalk eraser.
For each object, the contestants are given a set amount of time to write their answers on their chalkboards.
Each mystery item is placed on a slowly rotating turntable on another plinth in front of the contestants.
