Summary[]
The task was presented on the steps in front of the course. The contestants had to complete the course on the bike as slowly as possible, constantly moving forward. Every time they put their foot on the floor, missed an instruction or left the course, their time was paused and their final time was halved.
The contestants had to: burst a red water balloon into the bucket; take the hat from the mannequin and put it on the other mannequin's head; and read and post a letter saying 'I am a speedy cyclist' into the mailbox.
Performance[]
Alan Davies: Alan managed to stay on the course but struggled to post the letter. He completed the course in 72 seconds and made 5 mistakes, so his final time was 2.5 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Desiree Burch: Desiree struggled to pick up the things on the course but did manage to stay on the course. She completed the course in 84 seconds and made 5 mistakes, so her final time was 2.625 seconds, receiving 5 points.
Guz Khan: Guz seemed to complete the tasks effortlessly but kept putting his foot down as he tried to post the letter whilst pedalling on one side only. He completed the task in 64 seconds and made 7 mistakes, so his final time was 0.5 seconds, receiving 3 points.
Morgana Robinson: Morgana put the wrong coloured water balloon into the bucket and kept putting her foot on the floor, thinking Alex couldn't see. She completed the course in 68 seconds and made 9 mistakes, so her final time was 1/16th of a second, receiving 1 point.
Victoria Coren Mitchell: Victoria did not know how to ride a bike so ended up learning during the task. She managed to ride the bike and complete the course, but had to put her foot down to stop as she never learnt how to use the brakes. She completed the course in 95 seconds and made 8 mistakes, so her final time was 0.124 seconds, receiving 2 points.
