Summary[]

The task was cut in half and displayed on the table. The teams had to initially find the other half of the task, while under the impression that they always had to hold hands. The other half of the task was located inside the record disk inside the hutch. One clue to locate the second half was a series of numbers on the back of the task that indicated the words in the task that spell the phrase "THE OTHER HALF IS IN THE DISC" shown underlined. Another clue was hidden in the cake in the lab that took the contestants into the hutch by counting steps, and finally there was a CD player on the Taskmaster Statue, hinting the task was on the disc.

After finding the second half of the task, the teams had to eat half of the cake in the lab, put the other half in the post box, put a flower on the task, and sit on the task.

The other half of the task was written in red on this page.

Performance[]

Joanne McNally, John Robins & Sophie Willan: The team of three were at first fooled by the clock decoys, until they immediately entered the hutch and found the other half of the task. Whilst John ate half of the cake, Sophie found the hidden note in the cake and followed the instructions back to the hutch. They eventually found the postbox and finished the task in 10 minutes and 5 seconds, receiving 5 points.

Nick Mohammed & Steve Pemberton: Steve initially held Nick's hand very tight, before they were both fooled by the clock decoys. They casually strolled around until they found the cake and the note that led them into the hutch and to the other half of the task. They completed the task in 11 minutes and 12 seconds, receiving 4 points.
