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.

[@mattr791]

Used to work night shift at a small grocery store a bit of advice if anyone wants to build a box tower. First stack as high as you can reach then you have to lift and put your stack ontop of the new boxes. Careful to lift evenly/smoothly but given some practice the ceiling is the limit

[@weeb8812]

wait that's such an amazing solution

[@damonhtoo]

This is the answer but in the episode's scenario, you also throw the tape over the tree branch and thread it down the middle of the boxes to provide lateral stabilization.

[@ToxicAudri]

Easier way. Lay the cardboard end to end, open them to make tubes, use some of the cardboard by tearing it to use it as honeycomb for internal structure to prevent if from wanting to fold back flat (wedging strips from one corner to the opposite, forcing it to remain squared), then once you run out of cardboard tape it together and hoist it up with the tape attached to the top end and use Alex as an anchor for the bottom to allow you to hoist it up rather than drag it on the ground, and ta-da~!

[@agilemind6241]

[@damonhtoo]

Ironically he almost had the best way of doing the task. He's the only one that actually used the tape. What he should have done was - 1. Attached the tape to a rock 2. Unravel as much tape as possible from the roll and cover it in dirt or fold it in half so it's no longer sticky. 3. Throw the rock over the branch 4. Assemble multiple boxes but leave the tops open so it didn't count against his time. They said it counts but I disagree. 5. Close first box. (clock starts) 5. Thread the tape-rope through the center of both ends of the box. 6. Close the second box and thread the rope through that too. 7. Lift the first box and slide the second box underneath it. 8. Repeat last three steps until the time expires. In the end you have a tower of assembled boxes that's laterally stabilized by the rope running through them all.

[@OsrsNooby]

@@Fucisko Sergio S is 100% correct. Either both were boxes or neither were boxes. IMO, a fully assembled box includes both sides being folded over one another so it's securely closed, which never happened.

'Tall' can also be used when comparing height."

Task: "Build the highest tower" Rules: "You have five minutes from when your first box is assembled, and a maximum time of twenty minutes, starting now." Definition of a tower: " A tall narrow building, either freestanding or forming part of a building, such as a church or a castle." James had the right idea I think, if he got up the tree and attached something to it, like maybe one of those boxes, it's forming part of a building, like a tower on a castle.

[@breyer1236]

Even better, thread the tape through several boxes, have the tree hold the top few boxes, stack boxes as high as you can under the dangling boxes until the meet

[@86niisan8686]

take 2 unfolded boxes, get out of the woods, go to the nearest building with an elevator, you have 20 minutes to do so! Go up to the top floor to ensure you are standing higher than any box tower your compettitors could have made under perfect circumstances. Now fold both boxes and place them on top of eachother. for a show where you are rewarded for reading between the lines, that was not so hard now was it? i mean, theres contestants getting in a car going to a STORE named gap, instead of looking for a physical gap nearby.

[@johng9461]

It can't be an open box if it has never been a closed box before. If an unassembled box is a box then they were all already boxes when they laid flat in that pile.

[@davidpetersen9276]

I feel like building a stable first tower like Jessica's and then leaving it as a backup while you build a separate less stable crazy box is the play.

[@Nevertoleave]

Lay the non-assembled not yet boxes in a line so the edges that will be one side of the tower are touching then use tape to secure them together. Then you just have to pop them open, tape the flaps closed in one long piece of tape. Same on the other side. Roll over and tape the last side as much as you can. Then get Alex to help you but steadying it as you erect one end. Using tape attached the end that will be the top would be easiest, then just kinda pull

[@ToxicAudri]

The issue with that is because they have no internal structure, they will want to fold back flat, you need some internal structure, you can do that easily by using some of the cardboard, tear pieces to wedge it from one corner diagonally to the other, making two hollow triangles inside with one strip, then basically do what you say, tape it together, use tape on the top to hoist, get Alex to act as an anchor to allow you to hoist it up, and you got your tower, and it shouldn't collapse back down flat like Rod's did when he was trying to stand his up.

[@chimkinnugget7134]

Erect

[@tequilacollins]

Having won an almost identical contest years ago, here's how I did it: Stack 2 boxes. Secure them with tape (don't need lot). This is your main tower. Stack 2 more boxes in a mini tower (with tape). Grab main tower from the bottom and put on top of mini tower (with tape). This is now your main tower. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until time runs out. Doesn't matter how tall your main tower is since you're only working with the bottom of it.

[@erickeenan3013]

[@c2i2n2d2y2]

I mean a collapsed box is also a box! The rules said first assembled box!

[@benglaser1345]

"That is more of a tower than what you did to him" was perfect

[@zxnod]

So what we learn here it's very important to read carefully and then act.

[@---cr8nw]

Honestly, James was on to something. The task said "highest tower" not "tallest tower". So, if he had made an actual tower instead of just a box, and then hoisted it into the air, he could've won. Sort of.

[@funwithcoding2818]

Honestly just putting a box at the top of a tree would’ve been my approach. He just can’t climb apparently

[@Infammo]

Funnily enough the task said the timer starts when you "assemble" your first box. The word assemble, by definition, means brining together two or more items to make something. Thus a box can't be "assembled" without tape and the clock shouldn't start with any folded box.

[@RealSmevold]

[@rakuengrowlithe4654]

[@nazamroth8427]

To be clear, the task *did not* specify that you had to use the cardboard boxes as your tower. I would have just climbed one of the trees and put a rock on one of its branches. I made a tower from some wood and a rock.

Make all boxes except 1 side of each. Tape up bottom, so that all boxes are in a row on the ground. Tape sides too. Get tops (open sides) of boxes ready for folding. Quickly tape last side up and raise the entire thing up.

[@LifeofB108]

Hello! They should have taped the boxes all together lying flat, then stood it up!

[@ToxicAudri]

Wouldn't have worked well, Rod's attempt proved that, his collapsed flat at one point when he was trying to stand it up, he had the right idea with internal structure, but could have done it with a strip of cardboard inside, wedged between two opposite corners, making two hollow triangles inside the square tube, that would have given it all the structure it needed to keep it from folding back down flat. Otherwise, same process as you say.

[@ccggenius]

@@ToxicAudri Not necessary. All they needed to do was weave the flaps such that the ones outside or inside are opposite each other. it'd take a bit longer because you aren't claiming the height of the flaps as part of the tower, but it's super sturdy. Also, as long as you don't fold any flaps over, you get the full time. Build it horizontally, stand it up when you're done, BOOM, chicken dinner.

To be perfectly fair to James Acaster, if he was able to get a single box up like 100 feet. It would be the highest tower. It wouldn't be the tallest, but it would be the highest. Very fine distinction. After all, if a like small biplane was flying at a couple hundred feet while a large jumbo jet was still on the runway, the biplane would be higher, while the jumbo jest would be taller.

Spread the flattened boxes out a bit, build as many as you can in 2 minutes just using the method of folding the flaps in to each other, don't bother with the tape to save time. Then as you stack them, tape the boxes to each other and maybe tear some boxes up to make side braces for the joins. Once you can't reach the top then you have to lift the entire tower on top of existing boxes and repeat. Push the tower up from the bottom basically.

[@ToxicAudri]

Better way would be to lay the cardboard end to end, open them to make tubes, use some of the cardboard by tearing it to use it as honeycomb for internal structure to prevent if from wanting to fold back flat (wedging strips from one corner to the opposite, forcing it to remain squared), then once you run out of cardboard or start running low on time, you tape it together and hoist it up with the tape attached to the top end and use Alex as an anchor for the bottom to allow you to hoist it up, and ta-da~!

[@Zedja]

Since Rhod stated he didn't make a box, then technically he didn't build a box tower.

[@huh_wtf]

The best approach would be to build all the boxes lay them horizontally side by side. Now use the tape and stick all the four side in, one strip for one side. Then make a rope out of the remaining tape, stick one end firmly to the the box train and tie a heavy stone on the other, now throw the stone over a tree branch and pull.

[@ToxicAudri]

After you build the first box, you have 5 mins. Not enough time to build them all. The trick would be to lay the cardboard end to end, open them to make tubes, then tape it together, could even use some of the cardboard by tearing it to use it as honeycomb for internal structure to prevent if from wanting to fold back flat (wedging strips from one corner to the opposite, forcing it to remain squared), then once you run out of cardboard you hoist it up with the tape attached to the top end and use Alex as an anchor for the bottom to allow you to hoist it up, and ta-da~!

If Rod never assembled any boxes by the end of the task, it can't really be a cardboard box tower.

[@ToxicAudri]

That wasn't the challenge, in fact cardboard was never mentioned, the challenge was to "Build the highest tower" the cardboard could be considered a red herring, meant to trick and distract you, making you jump to the conclusion you have to use the cardboard. The rules of the challenge however state "you have five minutes from when your first box is assembled, and a maximum time of twenty minutes, starting now." So the rules assume you will use the cardboard, and boxes being the most obvious way to make a tower with cardboard, but it never said you have to build the tower with cardboard boxes.

[@inmuyataz]

This is the first time i feel a lot smarter, i mean u can stack the tower on a box rather than stacking boxes on the tower

[@ToxicAudri]

That's pretty good, but the issue is the boxes without the flaps closed are hollow tubes that want to fold down flat, if you fold the flaps and make a box, you only have 5 mins from that point, if you want to keep as much time as possible you don't make a box, (could possibly use it to extend time though, unclear however) but all you need to do is make a long tube, put strips inside wedged in the corners making two hollow space triangles for structure, then tape them together seal the bottom, and tape the top, without cutting the tape (important) get Alex to hold the bottom, and pull the tape attached to the top, and that's your tower.
