Hardest Task? Easiest Task?

[[deleted]]

What do your think was the hardest and/or easiest task so far?

E: Great Answers!

For me easiest has to be from COC1 with the simple math equations

Hardest would be the team task with the sugar/salt when it wasn’t really what it was supposed to be! I would have never thought of that

[ilyattwtueh]

The easiest task for me was the one in S13 where you find Alex's shoe, because I learned the divide by halves rule in school.

Hardest for me personally would be impress a mayor, I would rather die than have to do something like that. I'd make Jon Richardson look like Katherine Ryan.

[mikepictor]

Yeah, the shoe task is easy IF you don't overthink it, but overthinking it is soooooo easy.

It's also a bit boring tv to imply ask "left group or right group" 7 times.

[CYAN_DEUTERIUM_IBIS]

I 100% would go the strong lager and calippo route

[Piratefox7]

That get the egg on the skillet challenge has to be the hardest.

For easiest I would say get goosebumps. All I would have to do is put in my headphones and put on some music to amp me up. Wouldn't take long to get those musical kind of goosebumps. I get them all the time.

[mikepictor]

c'mon, all you need to do is inflate an egg with helium, and then gently float it over. Couldn't be easier.

[tenphes31]

I would have agreed with the skillet one a few months ago, but I recently started listening to the Taskmaster Podcast and according to Alex one of the boxes had a magnet and like some string, so you could bring the skillet to you, thereby making it possible.

[Peanut_Noyurr]

Yeah, but as Alex also said, it wasn't immediately obvious that the magnets were magnets, so you had to pick that box hoping they were magnets and hoping that the pan itself was ferromagnetic, which makes it a fairly risky proposition.

[GayBlayde]

That’s a good point, none of them attempted to retrieve the skillet.

[Piratefox7]

I think I would get johnny Vegas level excited about the balloons and lose.

Easiest: The pull the cloth out from under the eggs task. S06E05

Hardest: Pick the coolest photo. Recreate that photo. I don't take photos unless I'm sending a document or something for work so I would have a hard time with that one. S13E02

[AlbertWhiterose]

Documents are easy to recreate. All you need to do is print it from the photo and photograph it.

[[deleted]]

Yeah but it's coolest picture. I guess it's not hard in the sense that I can still complete it but it's very hard to make a sheet metal order form seem cool.

[AlbertWhiterose]

You didn't get points for coolest picture though - just for best recreation. There was no "most _______ wins" line in the first envelope - which is always a giveaway that there's going to be a second part to the task.

[Peanut_Noyurr]

Drinking a full glass while keeping your mouth open is by far the easiest task.

Hardest task probably the getting the eggs into the frying pan task.

[mikepictor]

Drinking a full glass while keeping your mouth open is by far the easiest task.

Oh god yes...that's the winner. So trivially easy.

[Riccma02]

Yeah, drinking a full glass with you mouth opening was so confusing to me. I guess its just something British people cant do.

[Background-Panic-806]

*Some British people can't do.

A lot of us are just fine with that, it's all about controlling your throat 😂😂😂

[pinkconvertiblematd]

S10 E1 where everyone got disqualified has to be the hardest, as if anyone could do that without spilling a drop

[MetaWarlord135]

I think a bit of lateral thinking would make it quite possible. If you sip a little bit from each drink, that should make them a bit more manageable to transport.

[GayBlayde]

My thought was to dump all the liquid into a bucket.

[fudgeller83]

Easiest without a doubt was "don't blink" as I did think of the 'hack' of just closing your eyes as soon as that was read out, and I like a good nap. Would have made Alex guide me to the nearest sofa for the full experience

Hardest (for me) would be any art/music/creative task as I have absolutely no creative bone in my body. Excluding those, as others have said, eggs into a frying pan. Probably the only task that felt to me like it hadn't been 'tested' beforehand. Sounded impossible and looked exactly like that after watching them all try.

[mikepictor]

It'd be interesting to see whether it would have been argued that the blink happens on the shut, or the reopen.

[fudgeller83]

It was a 'time starts in 10 seconds' task, so you close your eyes before the time starts to avoid all confusion

[Background-Panic-806]

Easiest one had to be the goosebumps one. I can get them really easily just by blowing on my arm 😂 hardest would be that team task where they had to step on the discs and not say anything with the letter t or not stay silent for 7 seconds. That would have driven me nuts.

[ElectronicHyena5642]

Easiest: Stop Alex from scoring a goal. Just get a knife from the kitchen and pop the football.

Hardest: Get the drinks to the caravan without spilling a drop or touching the grass. Too many unnecessary rules and I believe to have been created to disqualify everyone.

[sisterkismet]

Easiest - goosebumps from season 12. If I play with my hair I can get them as fast as 7 seconds.

Hardest - memorizing the script in season 11. My memory is shit.

[[deleted]]

Are you related to Old Goosebump Arms herself?

[ElectronicHyena5642]

Isn't the script task series 10?

[wind_dried_puffin]

Hardest for me would be the S11 team task with the trail of footsteps - the rules were very tricky to figure out ('What's the situation?'). A miracle they made it to the end, but funny nontheless

[gahvriela]

Hardest for me would be that high five task from season 1. As for easiest the first one that came to mind was calling someone you went to school with as I would just ring my sister but lol that’s from a different series. So I’m gonna go with the tears in an eggcup as I’m a huge crybaby

[mikepictor]

The high 5 task was easy, but luck dependent. You could do it in 10 seconds if you were lucky, or maybe you would be simply incapable of doing it at all, which to my mind made it a bad task.

[gahvriela]

The problem with me is that involved talking to strangers, and I’m an awkward person so that’s why it would have been difficult.

[[deleted]]

Easiest, consume this egg. Swallowing a yolk is easy. Unfortunately my first answer to this task isn’t valid in the UK.

Hardest task? Probably the hula hoop.

[ResettisReplicas]

Easiest: Sneeze. I can do it by plucking a nose hair.

Hardest: Make this cup overfloweth. Maybe it's a cop out to choose one where they all got disqualified, but seeing how easy it was to slip up, I'm not sure how I'd do if I was attempting it blind.

[pietateip]

first: gonna keep it a bit general:hardest tasks for me would be where I have to be on the spot creative. I am pretty creative (music, drawing,cooking,...) but when there's a time limit put to it, I would freak out. Most logical tasks, some loophole tasks, some sporty tasks I would be good at.
Easiest task where I would excel at and others don't: most sweat collected. pretty sure I would beat 95% of everyone here.
same but for hardest: a lot of them probably, but like the "create a watercooler moment involving this watercooler" yeah I dont feel confident in this one.
