Like, after the baked beans thing, he could have been like, "Did anyone else count spaghetti hoops as well!?" But instead he just sat back and waited for the next bit to appear naturally. He may have been frustrated, but he's still got a comedian's wit, and I really appreciate that.

    Wait. In the cheeky text messages task, the actual task was "one message a day for the next five months", and the 150 was just a separate remark from Alex simply calculating 5 times 30. If Mark actually sent one message every day for five months, and there were 148 actual days, 148 messages is absolutely enough for the completion of the task.

    • @51Dutchman
      @51Dutchman 3 года назад +40

      Wouldn’t work. Lowest number of days over 5 months is if the end of the months of February through June are accounted for, which would be a total of 28 (assuming it’s not a leap year) + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30, or 150. Still a bummer.
