Challenge 1, testing music, entails identifying which instruments are dropped and in which order when an eight piece combo tune is played a second time. Challenge 2, testing social, requires the contestants to give a thirty second pep talk to the Mustangs, a youth girls soccer team on a losing streak, with John Herdman, coach of the Canadian women's national soccer team, acting as guest judge. Challenge 3, testing logic, has the contestants putting together a length of water piping through predetermined points along a wall. Challenge 4, testing linguistic, has the contestants making as many three or more letter words out of the letters in two other words. And challenge 5, testing both physical and visual and worth double the points, is a race to bounce a ball on top of a drum, using the drum to maneuver the ball over and under obstacles, with an additional bonus for each ball bounced into a basket. The two contestants with the highest score move to the mega-challenge, a race testing all six concepts in six individual puzzles. Written by Huggo See less
