Tim had that win - he had it, he just didn't argue his point effectively.

Disappear doesn't mean gone. It means you can't see it.

The solo tasks for Josh are what solidified Taskmaster as such an iconic show.

"Make this ice block disappear as quickly as possible." Greg interpreted this to mean completely melt the ice, and of course he can change any interpretation, but this is contrary to rest of the previous tasks and shows. Why not make the task, "melt the ice?" To make it disappear, they could have dug a hole, and buried it. They could have called a taxi and had it driven away. Definition of disappear: "to cause (something) to pass out of existence, possession, or view." To change the state from solid to liquid is not even in the definition, so I think his interpretation is preposterous. Technically, the ice was still present for all of the others (just in liquid form) with possible the exception of Josh, his went down the drain. The river was the best solution in my opinion.

No they made it disappear, Ice is frozen water - frozen water is ice. Cold water, is cold water. Hot water is hot water. Hot water is not ice. Cold water is not ice.

So it has disappeared. The win could have gone to Tim, who threw it in the river though - if he had used the magicians logic, that make it disappear was to make it vanish from view, so once it was out of sight, it had disappeared, but he just made his case very poorly.

The Bible is truth. The key to understanding that is in combining personally reading the Bible with putting the teachings Jesus Christ gave us into action in your own life. Start with forgiveness, parents are easiest, they’ve loved you. That’s a very important step in understanding all this. You have to work though your inner drama and forgive. Also, make sure you at least read three books of the Bible, Genesis Mathew and one you chose yourself. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.

@godofallthingsandall not at all. That's from never reading both. The old testament sets the law, Jesus Christ compltes the law. Example, we're supposed to stone sinners. but when? after the sinless man. Who's he? Jesus Christ. When does he stone sinners? At eternal judgment, aka after our first life on earth. He sees and knows every sin, determines who's guilty, and executes judgment. After him, the next dude in line casts stones. Literally, Christ casts them into hell, then Christians kick them forever. Hell staggers into layers. Those above beat those below. Sin determines where we fall in that system. It's only after living a complte life with our free will where we're judged. It isn't hard to understand. Just nobody reads the Bible. Everyone thinks they know because they went to church when they were children. Church doesn't teach the important bits. There is actually a self study requirement God keeps secert to see who cares and is trying. Three books bare minimum you're expected to read yourself, genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. Literally, mandatory. Church doesn't teach that. Church is about community, having a place to help and be helped by others, setting a foundation for children to grow right. You're expected to put in personal effort.

You shouldn’t be diving in rivers anyway. They’re often more shallow than they appear. No ice and you could still bash your head against some rocks hard enough to knock you out so that you drown as the river takes you downstream. Not worth.

Exactly, it would be entirely normal to say your cat disappeared when they're suddenly gone and you can't easily spot them, but you wouldn't assume someone's cat is dead and completely decomposed if someone told you that. Completely gone out of easy sight is a valid definition

The definition of disappear is "ceasing it to be visible" he couldnt see it anymore when it went down the river SO HE DID IT

i love that tim looks to roisin for help at 9:20 and she just kicks him while he’s down

This irked me so bad when I first saw this task! Alex even says the definition loosely that 'it cannot be seen.' Greg: Just because you didn't see it, does that mean its disappeared? Yes Greg, that is literally the definition. I swear I love this show, but either embrace people going out of the box, or don't. but the inconsistency is annoying.

Tossing it in the river should have been the winner here. If a magician makes a rabbit disappear, it doesn't mean he's burnt the thing to a crisp so it doesn't exist. He's simply moved it to a place where you can't see it anymore. Moving the ice to a place where it can't be seen definitely fits within the task of making it disappear.

There was a similar argument in one of the later series, where the task was to 'Completely erase this eraser', and two or three of them flushed it down the toilet. That was accepted, even though it was definitely not erasing it and was incredibly boring.

So like...my first impulse would be to blow it up, and then I thought..."Wait, no, that's probably not the best way to go about it" but then I googled fastest way to melt ice, and apparently science agreed with me but stated its quite illegal.

Split it in half, and the block is gone. Now you have two halfs of a block.

Honestly I was really surprised just how hard it was to melt a block of ice that size. Really thought the oven in particular would've done it.

@sr.basilisc5906

3 жыл бұрын

There are three factors why it is not. First, air is a terrible heat conductor compared to a hot stream of water. Second, the melting depends on the surface of the ice (yes crashing is a good strategy), so it will take a lot of time to melt ice's core. Third and last, the bill is quite expensive 😂

@DrZaius3141

When you look at that block, that's easily 20kg of ice or 20l of water. A frozen pizza has around 300g, if you put an (absolute) casserole in the oven, that might go up to 2kg but it will take a while to heat up. Now instead of heating something from 20°C to 60°C, it's instead from -10°C to 0°C, but given that the mass is around tenfold and the transformation from solid to liquid takes a lot of extra energy, it makes sense. It's not intuitive, you're right, but anyone who's ever cooked a frozen turkey in the oven will have an idea of how long it takes.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 Joules/kg Assuming that is 10kg, that's 42kJ 1kJ is 0.28 Wh So 42x 0.28 that's 11.76Wh A standard UK oven is 2kW - 2.2kW (so running for an hour would be 2kWh - 2.2kWh) So assuming that you only need to raise it's temperature by 1 degree, that the ice is actually 10kg and that the oven is 2.2kW then it would need about 5hours to melt the ice in an isolated system. Now the chunk he put in wasn't that big, but still the ice was probably at -10C so it would take 10x more energy, or same energy 10x the time. Before the refrigerator was a thing people where transporting ice from the poles to the south and it was keeping things cool for weeks. Edit: also you are limited by the surface area as well, since the heat can only get in by the surface, more surface area faster melting, so if you don't break the ice, might take even longer by the loss of efficiency getting that heat into the ice
