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.

The issue is with such a short time limit, making sure you don’t get disqualified should be your main concern. Just look at Mawaan making no attempt to be accurate and getting 3 points as opposed to Katherine and Johnny putting in real effort and getting 0 If they had 30 minutes, or even 15, we probably see them try to come up with clever ways to empty and then refill the box

I genuinely guessed 1000 when I watched this 1st time round. My reasoning was: The cage is 12x12x12 squares but the balls are bigger than the squares, so allowing for that say 10x10x10 balls = 1000.

I counted 11 balls in a pair of offsetting rows, and 5 such rows, gives 55 balls on one face. And multiplied that by 55 on the next face to calculate a volume through the magic of "completely bullshit math", producing an answer of 3025. Add in the heapage quotient and i got 3080, all before i knew about any smaller balls. I am ashamed. 😂

@kittysplode 10 ай бұрын

a square isn't 11x5 and it isn't a 4d cube.

@DaddyBeanDaddyBean 10 ай бұрын

@kittysplode I stand by the first part: pause the video when there's a clean shot of one side of the crate. I counted six balls in the bottom row, five in the second, sort of nestled into the spaces between the six in the row below. Those two rows taken together have 11 balls, and I counted five of these 6-5 pairs of rows, so one face of that cube has about 55 balls. And I just counted all the balls on that face individually - ignoring the ones sticking out the top as they are part of the heapage factor - and got 59. Therefore 55 is a decent estimate of the balls on one face, off by less than 10% of the actual count. The rest of my math was of course completely and utterly wrong, and I have no defense for that. 😂
