Mastertasks:

Something that one or more of the cast members can't identify

Mastertask notes:

In this homework/live version of the task, the contestants must aim to bring in something that the most other contestants won’t be familiar with, rather than just one of them. All of the other contestants get to make a guess at what it is on the stage, as the live final task of the episode. Points are assigned based on how many of the other contestants are able to correctly identify their object. However, if they bring in something that none or all of the contestants can identify, they are disqualified.

Locations:

The Glass Hall, Stormester House (Season 8 - )

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.
