Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Choose an object and a blowing tool, then blow your chosen object to gather points on the playing field.

You may only use each tool and object once.

The available spheres are a beach ball, a whiffle ball, a golf ball, a ping-pong ball, and what appears to be a blueberry.
The available blowers are a leaf-blower, a confetti cannon, a recorder, an uninflated balloon, and a length of hosepipe.
A narrow extension has been added to the front of the stage, and is divided into sections, each of which affect the contestants’ scores in different ways. This appears likely to have been inspired by the scoring system featured in the ‘Duck-slide’ task.
The sections of the stage extension are labelled as follows (from the one closest to the plinth, to the one furthest away):
- 1 point
- -3 points
- 3 points
- Double points
- Swap points
- 5 points
- -5 points
- Go back to 0
- 7 points
- 100 kroner in cash [roughly £7.50 or US$10]
If a sphere falls off of the stage or extension, the contestants lose 9 points.
The points earned are in-game points, not series points.
