Summary[]
The task was presented on a large piece of paper. The contestants had to make exactly 99 holes in a piece of paper that form a recognisable pattern. If they made too few or too many holes or looked at or spoke to Alex, the contestants were disqualified. On the machinery located behind the contestants, various items used to make holes could be found.
Performance[]
Frankie Boyle: Frankie silently found a pair of scissors and stabbed holes in the paper in the shape of a sun, ignoring Alex's questions. He made 99 holes in the paper in 5 minutes and 51 seconds, receiving 5 points.
Ivo Graham: Ivo continuously spoke to himself whilst finding the different objects and deciding to make a smiley face with a golf tee. Despite making 99 holes in 5 minutes and 9 seconds, he accidentally spoke to Alex at one point, so was disqualified from the task.
Jenny Eclair: Jenny immediately answered a question from Alex but decided to carry on doing the task by folding the paper to make holes quicker and using a golf tee she had found, continuing to answer Alex's questions. As she made 109 holes and talked to Alex, Jenny was disqualified from the task.
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Kiell managed to find a fork before attempting to make holes in the task, eventually noticing the piece of paper on the table and making the shape of a rectangle. He made 99 holes in the paper in 11 minutes and 47 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Mae Martin: Mae immediately looked at Alex so was disqualified from the task.
