    ------------
    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

    These bags are rated for a specific max weight (usually 10kg or 15kg, the newer recyclable materials are usually on the weaker side), that should be specified on them. Liza circumvented that by actually hanging the bucket by its handle. Adding gaffer tape to the handles was also quite a good idea to increase the bag's durability.

    1. Get rid of the height, so lower the bag almost all the way to the ground, that's why they used pallets.
    2. Fold the bag as many times as possible, braid it or twist it and increase the bags tensile strength.
    3. Use sand or gravel to fill the bag progressively and fill it to it's full extended volume.
    Maybe one of this ideas work, or perhaps a combination of all.

    • @LiterallyRain
      @LiterallyRain 3 года назад

      Wouldn't be the plastic weight gaining weight, would be the stuff on/in the plastic bag adding weight.
      They interpreted the task as "Make the weight display the highest possible weight without using anything other than the plastic bag to hold objects and without using anything else to reduce the load on the bag," which is not the task. The task is to make the PLASTIC BAG heavier, which you can only do by changing the gravitational factor. Speed also affects weight, so you could increase the weight of the bag by having it fall downwards. You can imagine it as a rock having a greater weight (momentarily) when you drop it on top of a weight from a height, than if you just lay the rock on the weight in a stable position.

  • @MikaeruDaiTenshi
    @MikaeruDaiTenshi 2 месяца назад

    After hearing the task, here is what I'd do:
    1. Fill the bag with water.
    2. Find heavier objects to put into the bag.
    3. Win.
    (Sidenote: If possible, find another bag, either the same size or a smaller one. The smaller one would be a bit of a cheat though, as it may be "inside" the bag, it wouldn't make the outer bag heavier and instead, would lift some of the weight from the bag, so it won't rip as easy. But since the outer bag doesn't have the weight on it, that's what would make it a cheat. As for the bag of the same size, it would technically not be a cheat, at it would just prevent the outer bag from ripping, but with them being the same size, every weight in the inner bag would be also on the outer one.)
    ^ Which is why I also believe Liza was kinda cheating, because most weight was distributed on the bucket, rather than the bag around it.

    I'm genuinely curious what would have happened if someone completed the challenge on a technicality of the phrasing by saying "the" bag is as heavy as it will ever be, because "the" bag's weight does not change regardless of how many items you put in or take out of it. It's just the weight of "the" bag. You can't make "the" bag itself heavier, you can only fill it with heavier objects for an overall weight that is heavier.

Still, fair point; the wording is ambiguous.

Most of her bags weight was being held up by the handle of the bucket, not the handles of the bag, which means her bag was hanging assisted by the bucket.

    None of them actually made the BAG heavier as tasked, they just put heavy stuff in the bag. The task was not to make the heaviest collection of items being held by a bag. Instead, knock out some of the pallets and hang the bag from the hook closer to the ground. Less distance to the Earth, more gravitational force, bag is slightly heavier.

    The first thing I thought was why didn't people use more bags??? To me it is common sense to "double bag" anything heavy that'll rip the bag. Just slap more bags until it is too strong to break, in that sense, as long as you put the bag on the outside of other plastic bags, it is carrying their weights. One or two bags might rip but if you can get like 10 or more bags then they just won't rip.
