Tasks

Prize: The best item for keeping things in that isn't just a regular item for keeping things in.

Walk exactly one furlong in exactly 10 minutes. You may not make use of technology except to make three five-second phone calls. Also, you may not remove the hat.

Clean the most profound picture of majestic nature on a dirty thing.

Team: Place all the balls in the gutter and the gutter on the cow. The gutter must not enter the dome. You must not use anything floppy during your attempt. For every ball you touch, one minute will be added to your time. For every ball that touches the floor, 10 minutes will be added to your time. The task is over when the full gutter of balls is balancing by itself on the cow.

Live: Predict whether each item will float or not float.
