Ikr, what was he even thinking there 🤣 must have acted thick for comedy sake. That or he got an incredible brain freeze haha

[@travelwell6049]

Sometimes when filming that many tasks in one day you just want it done and over with. He made a half hearted effort in which to form his guess. 🤷‍♂️ I would’ve probably done the same.

[@BlueFlash215]

As a baked bean, I can confirm that he thought it's the best method

[@cjchess1]

Josh would have loved doing this one. he ABSOLUTELY would have done Phil's method, and used his memory of his solo task in season 1 to know how many beans are in a baked bean tin.

Actually Josh did get a point for his counting tasks, and that was actually crucial because he beat Frank and Romesh by just 1 point.

Can you get a circumference of a square object? Surely that's perimeter?

[@squiglemcsquigle8414]

Circumference is the distance around something or for the more precise definition the enclosing boundary of a curved geometric figure. So no not a circle ang geometric shape can has a circumference

[@Cynndora]

They totally robbed Rhod on this one.

[@theplasmawolf]

I tend to agree, he did a lot of work by very precisely measuring all the thing, but forgot that not all beans are of equal length and that's pretty important. Really worked against him, but those are the rules.

[@Taolan8472]

Not really robbed, he should have taken a mean bean measurement. The argument of measuring the juice though is kind of nonsense.

[@davidgoransson2933]

Why, even being 1mm off would give a 10% error. Lazy to just measure one, so easy to measure 10 and cut most of the error!

[@frosthammer917]

@@Taolan8472 I think they miscommunicated and didn't actually mean to measure the juice but that once a bean dries it physically shrinks while still juice covered beans are usually larger.

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

I mean, they had a number measured before and thats what they were supposed to get closest to. Rhod was very far off because he didnt be precise enough before doing his maths.

[@jh5401]

why is no one talking about the fact that the caravan doesnt have a circumference, because it isnt a circle

[@MinekEzQM]

If you treat a contestant like they treated Rhod, you can expect them in your wardrobe by night.

[@scottycheesecake]

Rhod didnt think of the shrinkage!

[@DragonSpawn4Twenty]

Taskmaster at its best!! 😙👌

[@komodoguy152]

I mean, if we wanna get technical, it’s zero because circumstance is a special form of perimeter reserved for circles and spheres- and the caravan is neither. We would want the perimeter rather than circumference in order for the correct answer to be valid

[@paxarcana5811]

If you're talking geometry, you are right. However, in common parlance, circumference also means the distance around something, so they did word the task adequately.

[@marianolaguzzi]

Was about to point that out myself. Honestly if I had been in the task I'd have (after screaming at Alex because of how non sensical the task was) probably found the middle of the caravan, measured the bean distance from that to one of the walls on the long side, then figured out the circumference as if it was a circle and that distance was the radius

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

A perimeter is the circumference of a square. Circumference has multiple definitions, one is the more specific one in maths specifically refering to a curved figure. The other one is a more broad definition thats simply "the distance around something". So they'd lose that argument. :P

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

[@RoyTheMouth]

This is one of those tasks I would have loved to see the contestants reactions to each others methods as per the earlier series

[@JamesJames-zz6up]

Rhods math was wrong regardless. He mesured the caravan in inches and the bean in centimeters, and then multiplied. He should've mesured both the caravan and bean in centimeters and divided instead. Also, he said 2.5cm for 1 bean? That's way off.

[@MinekEzQM]

6:21 - 1cm per bean by Rhod, and Alex measure was 1.3cm.

[@Confidence_isFashion]

No, he converted inches to centimetres. 1 inch equals roughly 2,54 centimetres. Only after that conversion came the bean counting

[@dylanvitt2449]

^ good catch@@Confidence_isFashion . 510 in * 2.5 cm/in * 1cm/bean = 1275 beans. Using 1.3 cm/bean, you get 980 baked beans. So Rhod was 295 baked beans off, while the 700 beans guess was only 280 off. Assuming 510 inches is the correct perimeter, and 1.3 cm/ beans correct conversion. Would love to see how Alex and the crew determine the "correct" answer for some of these tasks, seems difficult.

[@emcamp24]

I'd immediately fail this one, it took me like a minute to remember what a circumference was. Love these videos.

[@Datamining101]

I would have insisted that only circles have circumferences. Rectangles have perimeters.

The worst part about this was only having 3 minutes. I would have known to use Rhod's method right away, but you have to find a measure tape and calculator and measure and calculate everything in 3 minutes heck.

[@gopnikolai7483]

If you're really pedantic you can cheese loads of the tasks just by picking apart the wording. 'Work out the circumference of *A* caravan *IN* baked beans'. Google the dimensions of any caravan and work out the circumference... and there you have it, you just finished. A caravan's circumference is the same whether it's in beans or completely bean-free lmao

[@casualpotato44]

[@zyanidwarfare5634]

I don’t know what a circumference is either, something to do with circles

[@dkajj]

They measured perimeter, not circumference.

[@vinny142]

Still surprised nobody answered the questions "how many baked beans?" with just "many".

[@MinekEzQM]

They know that answer would led to a subjective score, which really depends on Greg. He would give it full 5 points, or pull the contestant away to give them a little warning in private, or anything in between. Would you risk it?

[@ericaschner3283]

Yeah, you always gotta take a mean bean average

[@Slayden135]

Circumference implies something that is circular, what you’re looking for is the perimeter of a cross section.

[@a_921]

I'd assime the answer was in the bean can (since it was already open), so I'd make a mess searching for the answer inside, rather than measuring stuff :p

[@Anutushara]

I’d say Jess won. She worked out the circumference in beans on the window.

[@sanderschat]

THIS is a MOCKERY!

[@chrisbarry9345]

Line some up with your shoe to see how many it takes, walk around, do the math

[@simontay4851]

This is how I would work out the circumference/perimeter of the caravan: Get a tape measure, measure the length of 1 bean (its about 1.5cm) then measure all the way round the caravan. Divide the measurement of the caravan by the length of 1 bean. The answer is the circumference/perimeter of the caravan in beanz.

[@vonmatrices]

Wait a minute. Circumference is specific to a circle. I believe they were all measuring perimeter. This question is better rephrased as either specifying perimeter OR asking the circumference of a circle that circumscribes the caravan.

[@Dqtube]

Interesting note, fun fact that we in our language do not distinguish between Circumference and Perimeter. We have one term for both, so I didn't notice it

[@TheKYLEdavid]

I loved his callback to this in a later task “Are these regular seconds, or are they special seconds that have a little bit extra on each end?”

[@MinekEzQM]

Kinda boring would be if they gave Rhod 5 points and let him win the episode before the studio task. Also... it's for our entertainment. It's a great moment (also Rhod referencing to it in the next task)

[@happivaras]

That's some bullshit right there. Rhod you were robbed.

[@KyuuTomoyaki]

Since we know other people have done these tasks while thinking outside of the box, I would have used a tape measure to measure the circumference of the caravan while holding the baked beans in such a way so that my fingers were inside the can. That way I would have "measured the circumference of the caravan in baked beans." That is, I am in baked beans as I am measuring the caravan. Or I could have dumped the entire can over myself, so that I was literally "in baked beans." I don't think anyone could argue with that.

[@gopnikolai7483]

Google the circumference/perimeter of *A* caravan (any caravan, not just this one), and give that as your answer. The number will be the same whether the caravan you chose is in beans or completely bean-free. Almost every task can be picked apart for the wording and destroyed.

[@Gh0stly_fell0w]

cool

[@Alex-zi1nb]

It’s not a circle, how are you calculating the circumference? What orientation? What plane!? This was a very poorly worded task. Props to the taskmasters still doing well
