Snap. I assumed everyone was like this until a year or two ago. Like how people could remember how others looked, what they meant when they said close your eyes and imagine you are on a beach, I thought that was just words, didn’t realise that they could actually visually imagine objects.
They should've included Sarah making an unintended 5 head move by having her hand photographed making a specific sign then realising she could just find that. Not the proper intended trick solution but it paid off nonetheless
I ask a similar question on occasion, specifically how does the dictionary define the word right without using left(because it would create a weird paradix between the two words).
The task only said "find the back of your hand" not that i had to be one of the photos. So easiest would have been to point at the literal back of youe hand
I think I would have got that one, but for completely the wrong reason. My instinct was that letters on the same colour flags would form words or phrases to be used, and I would start with red just because red is the 1st colour (ROYGBIV).
The memory task is underrated. Katy smashing it, the youngsters acting first and thinking second, Rose adorably lying on the couch in frustration knowing she's bungled it, Jo wandering outside, completely misunderstanding the assignment and David channeling Mark Watson powers and getting 4 points for being less shit than most of the others
a little fun fact (at least it's fun for me), the mini sculpture that they focus on during the water task, is from the mathematician archimedes, he was the one who discovered how to calculate the volume of irregular objects, according to the story, by putting them in the water (i dont know if they talked about this on the full episode, i hope they did)
More than this, he figured out the relation between the force exerted on an object in a liquid, its density, its volume, and the density of the liquid, which is arguably a much more important result. In the legend it allowed him to calculated the density of the crown of a king and proove that the jeweler who made it stole some of the gold. It also instrumental in designing boats as it helps you determine the center of its floating force. And finally it explains how hot air balloons work.
I would have got that because I spent my childhood going to Eureka every weekend and hanging from the ceiling in the lobby they had a sculpture of Archimedes that was repeatedly lowered into a bath tub.
The hands bit is some of the hardest I've laughed at this show. And I'm certain as sure as anything that John immediately regretted having said it as soon as he got to the studio. Such a legendary bit.
I think I’ve seen something like that, but they didn’t include footage from her “take a nice stroll with Alex” interview task from RUclips, which is imo one of the most wonderful things on this platform. So there’s definitely scope for someone to do that.
So many tasks are exercises in situational awareness more than creativity, but time is used to manipulate the contestants. The best moments are like with Rose in Season 9, as soon as she got to the caravan, she knew *exactly* what the real task was and how badly she'd borked it. Her frustration is just so lovely.
The Stirring Speech Task and the moment of the contestants reading out their speeches to dramatic music was one of the funniest moments ever on Taskmaster. I think I laughed so hard I tasted blood.
The hands task reminds me of a Terry Pratchett - Granny Weatherwax bit. She's trapped in a magic hall of mirrors. "“When can I get out?” WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT’S REAL. “Is this a trick question?” NO. Granny looked down at herself. “This one,” she said." As soon as the question was 'find the back of your hand' my immediate response was This one! ✋ I'm kinda suprised that wasn't the answer. Then again alex might have been murdered...
Such a good book, so many clever jokes in there. The one that took me like 5 reads before i got it was that Emberella is Cinderella (which is fairly obvious) but specifically where the panto abbreviation of Cinders matches up with Embers. I always thought it was a silly joke because her name sounded like umbrella, but there's always another layer to pTerry
Meanwhile that would be a wonderful premise for a horror novel, if the character never figured it out Poor character is dying of thirst and the ominous voice is like HONESTLY I DIDN’T THINK IT WOULD BE SO DIFFICULT
I was thinking all the letters of a certain color would make a word, and was pausing the video trying to unscramble the words, until I realized I couldn't see all of the letters at once.
Honestly, the small-fish-tank-in-large-fish-tank would have been my solution too. Just push it down the needed amount to raise the water level as desired.
Wouldn't work. It's physically impossible to submerge an air pocket that large without the water suddenly erupting upwards and spilling at least a little out of the tank, thus disqualifying you.
@@HOTD108_ What are you talking about? Just gently lower the small tank in, right side up (i.e. the open side is on top). The further you push it in, the more water is displaces; push it down just the right amount and it'll bring the water to the top. It won't be very stable, but that's fine as long as you don't let go. Don't make any sudden moves and nothing will splash. Maybe insert it into the water coner first to make sure you don't trap an air bubble on the bottom which might escape later and splash.
@@kawaiilotus Pick 5 other small random objects and toss them in first. (Or 3 other objects, if the judge decides to count your hands as objects. Be sure to ask if he will first!) My point is that the small fish tank, by virtue of being pushed down with your hands, can displace however much water you need it to.
In an alternate universe, Alex locked the caravan behind him and they needed to use the hanging things to get inside, rewarding Ed and Rose for their quick thinking while punishing those who spent time memorising for no gain.
Until the full eps come in, look up her interviews (and stand-up). She is such a great and unique person, and I'm in Taskmaster's debt making me to be aware of her and learn about her.
8:43 - “How come those giant metal things float on the water? 'Ships', I think that’s what they’re called.” I mean...like the small fish tank, they are full of air, eh?
No... imaging you do 16 tasks a day of filming. Some of them "fastest win", some of them smell like a trap but quite obvious (pull the 5 pound notes or pull the sheet from below the eggs) some of them confusing and needs thinking (time shop), some of the really time boxed (sit on the chair in the secret room, or "Attack the Biscuit"), some of them two parters bc "Alex" needs to go shopping (build a snowman, make a sandwich) and you shoot another task in the meantime... and in the middle of this carousel you suddenly end up Alex telling you 15 random stuff then the task is "meet Alex in the caravan timeboxed". It is not so obvious.
Why did they not show the best "find the back of your hand"-one? Sarah actually nailed it by making sure the answer was right there. Odd editing choice.
@mii5951 when they had her place her hand originally, she made a sign with it. They couldn't tell her not to so it turned out to be the easiest solution.
It doesn't fit the criteria of this video, though, which is more like times the answer was secretly given . Sarah's thing was more her being lucky that she thought making a shape with her hand would be funny.
@@MKBergenyou are right that it doesn't fit this compilation, but I probably would have kept in Alex taking the photo as a nod to it. But I am pretty sure she wasn't just trying to be funny and got lucky. She just made a fist, not exactly known as something funny. She correctly guessed that there would be a benefit to having hers be different than what everyone else would naturally do (which isn't an unreasonable assumption on this show).
In the hands one I thought the trick was just to Point at the back of your own hands and that none of them were real. Cause task was just: find the back of your hands
for the fishtank one, could you just pour the water from the big fishtank until it fills the smaller one, then break the big fishtank so that the little one is the only fishtank left? If there's only one fishtank then theres nothing to compare the size to, so you could technically call the smaller one a big fishtank if its the only one there.
It will never help me in my life, but as someone who wears somewhat distinctive rings on both hands I would have gotten the hand picture one for sure. Unless they put mine up high, then I may not have been able to see it XD
Alex failed the Eureka fish tank task by removing water from the tank. On his hands. He needed to insert the bricks without getting his hands wet. He removed water from the tank. Disqualified!
I’m sure it’s been said somewhere before, but Alex holding the brick and placing it in the water His hands being in the water, then, leaving the water meant that some of the water left the tank. So that would be a fail.
With the hands (and this is from someone who hasn't seen the whole task nor finished the video yet), is pointing to the back of my own hand an acceptable answer? Cause like, I don't think it said it had to be the polaroid, just that you had to find the back of your hand.
Making a guess having just heard the challenge: The small fish tank is exactly the volume of the space left on the big fish tank. Put the small one in and put the last five items in the small tank to keep it down
I'm very surprised the answer to the water displacement one wasn't to put 5 things in and then pour in enough water to reach the top - Judy literally brought in a kettle from the other room and just used it to test things lmao. I also feel like pouring it might have even been safer than the "real" solution because it's less likely to cause it to overflow if you're pouring it carefully vs putting heavy-ish objects in, and you have precise control over the water level in case the eureka bricks have become an imperfect solution (due to evaporation or otherwise).
Lol the answer grid on the back of the officiant's coat for the pink ladies xD. Also, finding the back of your hand....lol....I would have completed that instantly. Never said it had to be a photo
Before they start, the back of your hand one should be easy. I remember Discworld, Granny Weatherwax in a hall of mirrors. She had to find the one that was real. She looked down at herself. "This one."
"Find the pink ladies, if you find the green egg you are disqualified". If someone had looked up underneath the table and spotted the green egg - thereby finding it - would they not be disqualified? If they had noticed the grid, and chosen NOT to look under that bowl in the corner, they might conclude or assume that the egg has to be there, but without looking, we'd never really know - Heisenberg's Uncertainty Egg - but once they actually know the egg exists, and where, haven't they found it?
I thought the first one would be one where nobody gets points because they all sat down in the caravan despite Alex saying „don‘t sit down“ as one of the first things at 0:21. But either that was only meant for the lab or Alex himself forgot about it 😅
"Find the back of your hand" Me, who lacks enough spatial awareness to even register the fact that the things on the walls are pictures of hands and/or lacks the language skills necessary to realize "find the back of your hand" could more specifically mean "find the _picture_ of the back of your hand": "Here it is!" 👉🤚
For the hand one I’m half way through and as a viewer I’m already realizing that most of the hands are the Right hand while they took a picture of the left.
There's actually a trick to memorize all this. Just create a story. I tried one 5 mins ago and here's the items I can remember: "There was a bird (feather) who perched on a *water bottle* and then comitted suicide by hanging (*rope*), and then someone put it in a *jar* and then shot it (*gun*) and then smoked a *pipe* in celebration". Yeahh.. it's not perfect but it gets you closer than you would've without it.

Huge shout out to the editors and the show for producing this online content

And if the task doesn't explain the scoring, plan for a second half.
And behind the table.
Also under the table

I’m here for it! Also, somehow missed this ep.
"Find the back of your hand"
Me, who lacks enough spatial awareness to even register the fact that the things on the walls are pictures of hands and/or lacks the language skills necessary to realize "find the back of your hand" could more specifically mean "find the _picture_ of the back of your hand": "Here it is!" 👉🤚
For the hand one I’m half way through and as a viewer I’m already realizing that most of the hands are the Right hand while they took a picture of the left.
"Seven types of rank t!t" is my new favorite insult.
The world is a better place because of Taskmaster. x
There's actually a trick to memorize all this. Just create a story. I tried one 5 mins ago and here's the items I can remember: "There was a bird (feather) who perched on a *water bottle* and then comitted suicide by hanging (*rope*), and then someone put it in a *jar* and then shot it (*gun*) and then smoked a *pipe* in celebration". Yeahh.. it's not perfect but it gets you closer than you would've without it.
Alternatively, they could have just brought it with them into the caravan if they had thought about it.

For the second one i would have just flipped the small fish tank upside down and put it in the tank with air
I'll be honest if I was on taskmaster I probably would have tried taking the board with everything hanging off of it
Love Jo Brand! 🫶🏻
