Task notes

The contestants are stood in their teams on stage.
One team member in each team is wearing a helmet with a wire circle and a green lightbulb mounted on top of it, and is also equipped with a handheld mirror.
The other team members are holding a long pole with a beach ball mounted on the end of it, and have been provided with a pair of black-out goggles with a photo of their own eyes printed on the front.
In each round of the game, the contestants switch places, and the objects on the poles are switched out, with the wire shapes on the helmets also being changed to match the objects.
In the second round, the objects on the sticks are pizza boxes, and the wire shapes are short, wide rectangles.
In the third round, the objects on the poles are garden gnomes.
In the fourth round, the items on the poles are potted cacti.
In the fifth and final round, the objects on the sticks are three-tiered wedding cakes with bride and groom figurines on top.
While the pole-holding team members must remain standing on their marker spots on stage, the ones wearing the helmets may walk backwards towards them.
If an object touches the wire shape on the helmet, the lightbulb on the helmet lights up in red instead of green.
