Task brief

The task brief is presented on a plinth in the garden. The brief for the task is as follows:

Knock down exactly 60 cans.

You must stay on the mark.

You must throw all five balls, but only pull one rope.

Closest to 60 knocked down cans wins.

You have 10 minutes, or until all the balls are thrown.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

A long plank is balanced on two oil drums, some distance in front of the plinth. Stacked up on the plank are 160 cans, arranged in four pyramids of 40.
Attached to the plinth, there are three strings, the other ends of which are attached to cans in the bottom row of the stack (although one of them is so loosely tied that pulling on the string has no effect).
Behind the plinth, there is a circular marker spot mat, which the contestants must remain upon throughout the task.
Also lying on the ground behind the plinth, there are a basketball, a football, an American football, a cricket ball, and an exercise ball.
