Find the Pink Ladies. Avoid the Green Egg | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@jennatodd4664]

Alex playing Iain like a fiddle by asking him if he wants to showboat is so underrated

[@201081hero]

His unnecessary DQ on this task is up there with his overconfident volcano failure

[@GarrettPDGA]

I got all the apples.... but, what if?

[@kisbie]

‘Look at the cow’ --------------> ‘Look at Alex’s clipboard’ --------------> ‘Look at the other side of the cow’ is a sublimely constructed wild goose chase as well. 😂

[@alexortiz9777]

I was certain they'd find the egg at the end of the chain 😅

[@luciahoneybee]

I don't understand why he fell for it, though. The clue that he found clearly stated that there were five apples, and he had already found five, so why keep looking? What did he think he would find, if not the green egg? I know that his disproportionate ego played against him a lot on Taskmaster, but this just seems plain... stupid? 😅

[@UltraDumbass1782]

I do feel sorry for Alex. It does seem like it would’ve taken a lot of effort to do these things, and nobody even notices a lot of the time. It makes me wonder how many times Alex was thinking of something happening just for it to never happen.

[@RickyRatte]

As somebody who also often hosts his own games, revealing a hint nobody found is just as much fun as watching somebody finding it

[@wobblysauce]

It is only as difficult as the person doing the task, so placing hints is for all ranges.

[@tsurugizaki]

He mentions in the AMA videos that there are also a lot of times that he's been surprised by contestants finding loopholes that he didn't think of, so that's something

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

I've learned that if ever on Taskmaster: 1. BE OBSERVANT! Always ask Alex to turn around in full circle, just to assess if he has any clues prior to starting the task. 2. BE CAREFUL IN YOUR MOVEMENTS AT ALL TIMES, especially when the task states a clause referring to NOT doing something, hence consequences. 3. ALWAYS ASSESS ALL POSSIBLE ROUTES TO PERFORMING THE TASK BEFORE beginning. 4. Think out of the human reflex box. 5. READ TASK CAREFULLY AND FULLY SEVERAL TIMES before beginning or inquiring anything. 6. If something seems out of place, it probably is. Do NOT disregard that gut feeling. 7. LOOK UP, OVER, IN, AROUND, AND UNDER EVERYTHING. 8. Do NOT read into the task; twist words when possible, to be following the rules, but creative about it and not necessarily what was intended, but still allowable.

[@starbuckslover005]

Yeah, but if everyone was actually good at the tasks, where would be the fun in the show?

Thanks il remember this when I never go on task master

[@Snor947g]

alot of the tasks could b beaten fairly easy doin stuff like this but at same time i think it kinda defeats the fun to play it like this

[@markjohnatienza2025]

Taskmaster teaches us how to violate the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law.

[@matthewtE]

I can't believe he used statistics to find the chances of an apple being underneath a bowl.

[@jackblack2264]

His math was wrong. He was calculating the odds of flipping 3 bowls and not hitting the green egg for the situation where zero bowls have been flipped. However, he had already flipped 2 bowls at that point. If he wanted to know the chance of not hitting the egg with his next bowl, it would have been 6/7 or roughly 85% chance. Also, he did all that multiplication (8*7*6)/(9*8*7) when he could have cancelled and instantly gotten 6/9 = 2/3... roughly 66%.

[@nathansavage8692]

Anyone else wondering if there was anything special under the plant pots on the tables in the background?

[@JamieAubrey]

There usually is

[@arnastubuttwehak994]

He was making the same assumption that Greg excoriated Sian for - that the task was just to guess.

[@ElectroTherapyFTSoul]

2:16 - 2:21 Utterly relatable!

[@justscrobbler1897]

How do people go on this show and not click there will be a pattern hidden somewhere? There always is.

[@jadanejda9674]

Some of these people have never seen the show, only paticipated. They also do a lot of tasks in a short time, so they don't really get the opportunity to evaluate if they should have done things differently.

[@Asquid1987]

It's called a script

[@Giggi2222]

Alex brings their guard down with a lot of tasks without hidden patterns then introduces one randomly is what I presume

[@breakingaustin]

Pretty sure Sian knew it was the green egg cos it made a loud crack against the side of the bowl that even the mics picked up.. just saying..

[@1996Pinocchio]

Are you allowed to inspect the scene before opening the envelope?

[@louisehastings332]

Task idea: explain the bird and the bees (or periods) to a teenager (or make a video.). Points get deducted for wrong information.

[@geckohunter123]

I thought Pink Ladies were glasses of pink lemonade like in Coraline 😂

[@MrJamesbondo07]

so are you gonna resume uploading full episodes or is the business model of channel 4 more american than british

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

I mean, you could just flip the bowls over before reading the task, and then win.

[@FullPwned]

It does not work like that, as the task is the same. You have would found the green egg, even you were unaware of the task. This has happened other times. For instance, the time of opening the jar without reading the task or do not eat the chocolate.

[@VideoGuy232]

Aside from the fact that that’s not how tasks work (they’re mandated to read the task before beginning each time with few exceptions), that doesn’t change the fact that if they started flipping at random, they would still most likely discover the green egg which would DQ them. Because the task, whether read or not, is to avoid the green egg. Even if they could avoid both of those issues, they have no way of knowing beforehand whether the task entails them flipping the bowls or not. So no, not even close

[@Imperial_Squid]

@@VideoGuy232 They're absolutely not mandated to, it's just strongly recommended hence "I wouldn't if I were you". Nothing says you can't if you're confident eg Rhod's mayo jar

[@1MoTimeRound]

@@VideoGuy232 Not always. There was a tie-break task called "Open the Mayonnaise" where the jar had petroleum jelly on it. Joe L. opened the jar without reading the task and was rewarded with a time of 0 seconds.

Feels a bit pervy looking up at an apple, such a gentlemen is Joe Thomas

[@homagetogorto]

I've only just realized that he said it because he didn't know they were apples yet. But I wish I hadn't. Joe being weird and sweet is more fun.

[@TarotVylan]

I thought the same thing until the first apple appeared and I remembered that pink lady can be a type of apple 😂

@@Cora.T I didn't know it was an apple until they said it was. I'd never heard of them until I originally saw this task. Pink figurines is what I would have looked for.

[@user-td4gh6kj2z]

Sian absolutely blew my mind, and then crushed my spirit in this, she guessed all five pink ladies and only one tangerine in between, and even guessed the egg correctly, but had already touched the bowl.

[@matthiasknutzen6061]

She didn't gueas the egg, there were only eggs left 🤦‍♂️

@@matthiasknutzen6061 she had two choices, one was an egg, other was a tangerine. She was almost perfect in her choices

[@mrquirky3626]

She slid the bowl across the table first so I think she realized the egg was in it when she heard the shell rattle off the inside of the bowl.

[@jasondean88888]

She didn't "guess" the green egg. She moved the bowl, the egg rolled and hit the bowl while her hand was touching it, and an egg hittinf a bowl feels different than an orange or apple. She was lucky, and then stupid. Not psychic.

[@boi8564]

think it like this: 9 possible choices with only 1 unfavorable outcome

[@BethanyLowe8773]

"Do you know how much work he has to put into these tasks?!" A beautiful task, aesthetic and under-estimated, that Derren Brown could have been proud of. Once again the levels of game theory effectively split the contestants.

Sian’s clairvoyant predicted she was clairvoyant. So those are two people who are definitely not clairvoyant.

Surely, had anyone found the pattern in time they would have been disqualified, no? They would have located the green egg. Is that not the same as finding it?

I'd argue that knowing the location of something because of a map or being told is not the same as revealing the green egg yourself and finding it

I would say "no" on the grounds of "that'd be a lame way to disqualify people". Not really fun or fair.

If I tell you "There's apple pie in the fridge" have you found the apple pie? If anything, I'd argue that you can't find a thing after a reliable source tells you where it is. I'm not really finding apple pie when I open the fridge that you told me contains apple pie.
