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.

I was thinking it all along but I still say Loo's way could work- put all the cards in the best order for you to remember them and then recite them when you get there and if he calls you out, confirm that the task says "the order that they are currently in" and currently means now so, at any time you read the task, it's the order that the cards are in at that time!

@@funlovingvoyeur Task: "In five minutes you must return this pack of cards to Alex in the lab and tell Alex the order that the cards are currently in...." Anyone well versed in English could very easily interpret that to mean that you need to recite the cards in the order that they are currently in when they are returned to Alex. So its a very good argument to say that you could reorder them before returning them and recite them in the order they are currently in once returned.

@@brianofmoore You could make that argument if the word "currently" was omitted, absolutely. If you don't see the problem with the beginning of the sentence describing a time in the future and the end describing the present, and the way those both relate to the time the task is first read, you're not as clever as you'd like to think. To be clear, it's 100% okay to be wrong about things! Just, y'know, try to be less pompous about it. "At the present time" and "at that time" are different concepts. The comment you're replying to already pointed this out, but since it bears repeating: given that "now" and "currently" are synonymous, you're suggesting you could just reread the task and say it clearly states your time starts now at any point, so you should never run out of time. Do you think that's also a very good argument, or do you see how you can't just substitute either of those words for "presently" whenever you like?

Rather it becomes a disability when you have difficulties reading and following instructions with a tendency to missing important details. There's also some truth to "it takes one to know one". Might be something else completely of course, but that's just the feeling I'm getting as someone with ADHD themself and who meet a lot of people with ADHD.
