Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the contestants must try to sneak up on Mark and pat him on the back, while he tries to film them on his video camera. Whenever there is music playing, Mark must film his feet. The contestants' attempts are not over if Mark manages to film them. Instead, they must return to the marker-spot from which they began, and try again. The winner is the person who manages to pat him on the back the fastest.

Task brief

The task brief is presented on a plinth at the edge of the property surrounding the Nærum library. The brief for the task is as follows:

Pat Mark on the back.

If Mark is filming you, he will call your name, and you must go back to the marker and start over.

When the music plays, Mark will film his feet.

Fastest to pat Mark on the back wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

The contestants begin the task standing on a circular marker spot, and must return to that marker each time they are spotted. However, there is no rule about not moving that marker.
Mark is standing on the upstairs balcony of the library, wearing an eye-patch on one eye, and staring through a video camera with the other.
