Place the balls "on the mat on the top of the hill". As far I understand, as a person who learned English as a second language and has a purely logical bias, Richard did perfectly. He placed the balls on the mat that was on the top of the hill.

"Unusual" interpretation? His interpretation was literally my first thought

@Harambae613

3 жыл бұрын

So Tom Jones is right: it’s NOT unusual?

How have I never heard of this show before? It’s a riot!

It didn't matter how you interpretated the instructions. It was Simply FUNNY.

Why are people confused by the validity of Richard's interpretation?And my word, there are native speakers amongst them! 'On the hill' can be either a prepositional phrase (indicating position) or a relative clause (defining a noun). As a relative clause, it would most correctly be 'that/which/who is on the hill', but we often omit relative pronouns anyway (that, which, who etc.). In 'Place the balls on the yoga mat (which/that is) on the hill', it can be understood as either a prepositional phrase or a relative clause. 1) The balls are on the yoga mat. Place them on the hill. 2) The yoga mat is on the hill. Place the balls on it. (relative clause) 3) The balls and the yoga mat have somehow been provided. Place the latter on the former whilst being on the hill. All three are equally correct interpretations, but the first can be ruled out in this case because it contradicts observation. Nothing in the card makes either of the remaining two exclusively correct. For Richard's interpretation to have been wrong, this task should have read: 'Take the balls up the hill and place them on the yoga mat (which is) there'.

She shoulda asked one of the lady’s to carry a ball she woulda got like two mins

This is my favourite task ever, so illustrative of what is great about the show.

I initially thought the same thing and was screaming at them "JUST BRING THE YOGA MAT DOWN!" LOL

This KZread channel is one of the better ones that it’s recommended to me over the years.

The comic timing and mischievous character of these balls is incredible.

I like to rewatch this every once in a while because it was such a good solve.

"...on the yoga mat, on the top of the hill." would have been far less ambiguous. Need that comma.

It depends if there is a comma inbetween the parts If there isnt one this is allowed

7:20 I loved that one frame which Joe and Doc were both rethinking their life choices.

At 3:19, happy with that, so genius

I got the same idea as Richard while watching the J’s, was wondering if anyone was going to do it

The "I liked it" response to the "insulting the taskmaster's assistant" thing is phenomenal haha. Like, that specific variety of "fuck you" I always read as playful and good humored, so I take it well. That's kinda how my friends and I act towards eachother, and it's _VERY_ funny to me when someone overhears some ironic banter but isn't in on the joke and reads it as genuine malice

another way would be to take up one ball and drape the mat over it to hold it down, maybe a rock on each end of the mat? then bring up two. Yeah movement speed was the deciding factor huh?

I immediately interpreted it that you could move the yoga matte. Right until Richard's go, I was flabbergasted at all the wasted effort everyone else was putting in.

This is the most taskmaster task ever I think.

I had the same thought as richard, and was sad no one attempted until he did another read through

This is so much fun 😂 Richard is such a legend!! I wish we had this show on our nordic BBC channel here in Sweden 💔

One of the best tasks just because of the instructions.

I'm glad at least one of them figured out my strategy

" put the balls on top of the mat on top of that hill" to break it down "on the mat" is the first condition "on top of the hill" is the second. Put together I interpret it as up on the hill and on the mat. Had the phrase been "on the mat that is on top of the hill" the first condition remains the same but the second part "that is on top of the hill" this is now a description as to where the mat can be found. Not a requirement for where the mat must be when the balls are placed on it. This is ofc just how I'd interpret it.

This is where juggling comes in handy

Just like undoing the Gordian knot.

I jumped to ‘take the mat down the hill’ immediately, because it sounded like the laziest and easiest solution, and I’m so glad someone did it.

Season 2 had such a good lineup.

The guy who brought the yoga mat down from the hill DEFINITELY took the time to read the assignment. He was 100% right and if you leave the rules with an airplane hanger’s worth of “up to interpretation” you are begging for something like this. 2000IQ play

My instinct based on the title was to just deflate the balls so I was rather disappointed when I actually watched the video and heard the instructions lol

Oh damn the last guy is so smart.

Next task: who can survive factory with just a makarov

Just going to say this before I actually finish watching the video. My first thought before even opening the video, based on the title, was "am I allowed to interpret the instruction as I want, or only as implied?" So, can I place the balls on the mat 'that is located' at the top of the hill by going and getting said mat and bringing it to the balls?

Story of my life.

The TM stamp in the thumbnail looked like a sticker on my phone

I had the same idea as Richard the moment the task was given the rules of most of these tasks are worded In a wierd way that these can be interpeted easily In meny ways

"Place these three exercise balls on the yoga mat on the top of that hill." Okay, pop the balls, put them on there, job done "The task is complete when all three balls sit fully inflated and stationary on the mat" Shit. Okay, bring the mat down, job done

i love brains

They way the guy one by bringing the yoga mat down was the 1at thought I had.

"Strong wahmen working together is the fastest way to do anything." This is absolute comedy gold.

Time works the same way.
