Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Say the word ‘metronome’ between each tick of this metronome.

You may not touch or stop the metronome.

Also, you must blow up and tie a balloon so that it’s bigger than your head, neatly gift wrap the balloon, and eat three whole poppadoms.

You have five minutes.

The person who accomplishes the most things with the fewest missed 'metronomes' wins.

Your time starts when the metronome starts.

Attempts

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

  • Charlotte struggled to blow up the balloon, at one point saying the word 'metromome'. She ended up spinning poppadoms in an attempt to eat them fast, but ended up spitting them out. As she did not eat all of the poppadoms and missed 7 or 8 'metronomes', she received 1 point.
  • Jamali quickly blew up the balloon and popped it as he wrapped the balloon. As he began to eat the poppadoms, he recorded himself repeating the word 'metronome' so he did not have to say the word and eat at the same time. He missed 3 'metronomes', receiving 4 points.
  • Lee panicked, not realising it was timed. After wrapping up the balloon, it popped in his face, and he ended up shouting "I have a BAFTA" as he tried to hurriedly eat poppadoms. He missed 3 'metronomes', receiving 4 points.
  • Mike speedily set apart completing the tasks, as if it was a normal thing to be asked to do. He only missed 1 'metronome', receiving 5 points.
  • Sarah blew up the balloon but as she began to wrap it, it popped. After trying to eat the poppadoms, she attempted to inflate another balloon so she could wrap it, but that one deflated. As she did not complete any of the three tasks in the end, she received 1 point.
