Summary[]
The task was presented in the stacked boxes inside the caravan. The contestants were told there were 10 pairs of glasses in the lab and they had to choose a box in the caravan to put all the pairs of glasses in. They could not leave the caravan until they chose their box. When entering the lab, the contestants had to put all of the pairs of glasses (drinking glasses) into the box they chose, with the lid closed. They could not break a pair of glasses, but if one glass in a pair broke, Greg would allow it.
Performance[]
James Acaster: James chose box I, thinking the pairs of glasses would be spectacles, getting 12/20 of the glasses into his box. He received 2 points.
Jessica Knappett: Jessica chose box E, thinking the pairs of glasses would be comedic giant glasses, getting all of the pairs of glasses into her box. She received 4 points.
Kerry Godliman: Kerry chose box H, thinking the pairs of glasses would be spectacles, getting 15/20 of the glasses into her box. She received 3 points.
Phil Wang: Phil chose box F, guessing that it would be a trick and that he'd have to put drinking glasses in the box, managing to put all the pairs of glasses into his box. He picked the exactly right-sized box according to Alex, but although he broke one glass, Greg judged that as it was not a pair of glasses that broke, his attempt would still count, so he received 5 points.
Rhod Gilbert: Rhod left the caravan before choosing his box, then came back to choose box G, failing to get all of the pairs of glasses into his box. He was disqualified from the task.
