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.

A lot of people here think they're geniuses but no, "what happens when the switch is flicked" does not mean there needs to be an electrical effect. It doesn't say "what does this switch control" which would be nothing. But when the switch is flipped, Alex rotates the statue, even though the switch isn't actively controlling the statue rotation.

So how did Alex know when to turn the statue? I suppose a cameraman or stagehand in the room signaled him somehow, but how could they do that without tipping off the contestant?

He just turned it when they went back in again after coming outside. Alex turning the statue had nothing to do with the switch - they just had to go out and back in to give alex time to turn it.

There was a camera in the lab with the switch. Alex probably had that video streamed to his pad, then hiding it to show the timer when needed.

@@simontay4851 So if they never switched the switch and went back out things would change no matter if the switch was flicked or not. Nah they have to have some kind of notification system to Alex if the switch was actually switched or not. I'm guessing a live feed of the video somehow. =)

Im going to be real, I would have torn the wires off/out of the wall since the only caveat is the switch itself couldn't leave. Switches are just ways to safely complete a circuit, but you could by all means complete it manually.

You're not properly considering the entire scope of the word "do". Imagine someone on the street that you flip the bird to, and that person becomes offended. By your logic, they became offended of their own accord for no traceable reason and you didn't "do" anything. Reactions to stimuli don't need to stay within the same medium, and don't always have to be totally predictable to be traceable to a source. If it wasn't the switch that was sending him to go turn the statue, are you suggesting he was turning it randomly? Or that the fact that he had a theoretical choice not to turn it somehow diminishes the domino chain that led him to turn it?

The task says "work out what happens" when you flip the switch. ie the switch doesn't have to "do" anything in the mechanical sense, but switching it does still cause something to happen. Personally, I think if what rhod did resulted in Alex not knowing when to turn the statue, then he's correct, but we don't get to see that.
