Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Inflate, tie and pop as many balloons as possible in 10 minutes.

Once you pop your first balloon, you may not inflate any more balloons.

If any of your balloons are still inflated after 10 minutes you are disqualified.

Most popped balloons wins.

Also, you may not look at a clock or any sort of timing device at any point.

Your time starts now.

Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • David struggled to find a balloon pump, and later struggled to pop the balloons by jumping on them, resorting instead to stabbing them with a knife. He managed to inflate and pop 14 balloons in 8 minutes and 53 seconds.
  • Ed managed to inflate 41 balloons and pop them in exactly 10 minutes with his insulin needle.
  • Jo managed to inflate 13 balloons and pop 12 in 6 minutes and 58 seconds, but as she missed one balloon, she was disqualified from the task.
  • Katy started popping her balloons after 10 minutes and 15 seconds, so she was disqualified from the task.
  • Rose managed to inflate 17 balloons and pop them in 7 minutes and 25 seconds.
