Challenge 1 called "Double Take", which tests visual, requires the contestants to identify which two of six panels are the same. Challenge 2 called "Blow Back", which tests physical, entails the contestants, in specially equipped side moving and rotating chairs, to play a floor hockey-styled game against the others, with guest Scott Russell calling the play-by-play. Challenge 3 called "Mix Master", which tests music, requires the contestants to determine which combination of eight electronic instruments are playing at any given time. Challenge 4 called "Pipe Fitter", which tests logic, has the contestants putting together a length of water piping through predetermined points along a wall. And Challenge 5 called "Spin-a-Speech", which tests both social and linguistic and worth double the points, has the contestants using as many of thirty pre-selected words to present a forty-five second speech on a randomly selected topic, with guest Mary Walsh judging the quality of the speeches on how convincing they are. The two contestants with the highest score move to the gauntlet, a race testing all six concepts in six individual puzzles. Written by Huggo See less
