Task brief

The task brief is laid on a table between the two comfy chairs, in the study. The brief for the task is as follows:

Guess who’s hiding behind the Santa mask.

Santa can only answer yes or no.

You may not touch Santa.

You must make a guess to David within eight minutes.

Whoever asks the least number of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • Seated in one of the chairs, there is a man wearing a Santa Claus outfit, including a mask.
  • Santa may only respond to the contestants’ questions with his paddles, which read ‘ja’ (‘yes’) and ‘nej’ (‘no’).
  • Although Santa only responds to ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions directed at him, all such questions are counted against the contestants, regardless of to whom they are posed.
  • Santa turns out to be the legendary journalist and news presenter Bengt Magnusson.
