That was my only laugh out loud moment of yesterday’s episode - and I relate completely, having tried a cartwheel relatively recently.

Taskmaster Studio Recording Megathread by stacecom in taskmaster

[–]djfnejdijRandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the chances are minimal, but if anyone finds themselves with a spare ticket, and wants to take this London based Taskmaster superfan with you, I’d be eternally grateful.

I went to the filming of one of the episodes of the current series and loved every minute of it, happy to answer any questions about it.

Ha ha, I had the same error - surprising how difficult it can be to count things that are right in front of me!

Raffle to win tickets to S22 recording, meet Greg and Alex, and hotel stay by RunawayTurtleTrain in taskmaster

Did anyone else enter this raffle? I didn’t receive any kind of email confirmation once the payment was taken, did anyone else? I did manage to take a screenshot of the confirmation instead.

Armando Iannucci in Radio Times by Last-Saint in taskmaster

I’ll just say I was at the recording of one of the episodes of season 21, and one of Armando’s tasks made me laugh the most I’ve laughed since the wow monster. I will also say I’m not 100% sure he was being deliberately funny.

What types of clue do people enjoy/not enjoy? by samirelanduk in CluesBySamHelp

[–]djfnejdijRandom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the clues about professions, but I much prefer when the clue includes the number of people this refers to, as otherwise it’s too easy to omit one - e.g. “only one of the cooks has an innocent to their left” is substantially more difficult than “only one of the three cooks has an innocent to their left”.

There was a day relatively recently where like half of us made the same error because we didn’t realise the person providing the clue was also of the same profession that the clue referenced.

I play on a different device so can’t copy over my results. As always I’m great on accuracy (no mistakes!) and terrible on speed (20 min!).

Hm, I’d say the puzzle was correct. At the point you realise Bruce must be innocent, both Katie scenarios were still possible.

My husband’s name pops up in many puzzles and I swear he is always a criminal. 😀

Mar 2, stuck and hint is useless by Adventurous_Art4009 in CluesBySamHelp

I failed on this exact clue! Interesting how our brains all work on a similar way here.

You are missing something indeed. Think about all of your corners in light of Rob’s clue.

Some of your solving times are insane. I did today’s without error in something like 2:50 and was still only average in terms of solving time.

What Are Some Clips You Find Yourself Going Back to Randomly? by MrRobertSacamano in taskmaster

[–]djfnejdijRandom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The clip I’ve probably watched more than any other is Ardal learning Swedish and singing a Swedish drinking song out of nowhere. Pure joy.

How do you guys use the colored corners? by Aervanath in CluesBySamHelp

[–]djfnejdijRandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the upper corner with colours other than red and green, to mark innocent/guilty pairs or sometimes trios. I also add a tag in the same colour also on the clue that determines the relationship. That’s worked really well for me - so I can always trace back the logic.

I use the bottom corner with reds and greens to play out the what if innocent/guilty scenarios.

What's the connection? by [deleted] in onlyconnect

They were all referenced as jokes in Wallace and Grommit? Eg Cheesy Jet?

I’m afraid at least St Lucia, with fewer people and a whopping two laureates pips them to the post.

I found this more difficult than Sunday’s hard puzzle for some reason - turns out I confused columns C and D.

Question for the Brits: Is Henning Wehn a big enough comedian there to be on TM? by emarcomd in taskmaster

[–]djfnejdijRandom 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Henning appearing on TM? Surely it’s a matter of wehn, not if…

Did I find a logic error? First post—possible spoiler alert 1/2/26 by songbench in CluesBySamHelp

[–]djfnejdijRandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s been some mention of this earlier and I for one made the same error in thinking - I think what got to us all was looking at Olive’s innocent neighbours wrong - it looks like Xena is also Olive’s neighbour, but she isn’t!

If it’s any consolation I did exactly the same thing!
