Task brief

The task brief is laid on the table in the lab. The brief for the task is as follows:

Put five peppernuts in the small bowl.

You must wear the flippers like gloves throughout.

Most flour remaining on the plate when the time is up wins.

You have five minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

Also on the table, there is a plate – precariously balanced on a cocoa mug – with a mound of flour on it, a pair of red flippers with Christmas trees painted on them, and a small, empty bowl.
Before they read the task brief, Mark tells the contestants to wear the flippers on their hands.
There are five peppernut cookies hidden within the mound of flour. Peppernuts are small, spiced cookies, which are popular around Christmas. Despite the name, they do not contain nuts, but they are the size of nuts.
There are eight Christmas stocking hung from the back wall of the lab, ostensibly as festive decoration. However, the board from which the stockings are hanging has a gap behind it, which has been filled with peppernut cookies.
The stockings themselves each contain a few Maltesers, which are similar in size and shape to peppernuts, as red herrings for those contestants who are looking for a workaround for the task.
