Challenge 1 called "Music Match", which tests musical, has the contestants choosing the two identical melodies or chords in sets of five. Challenge 2 called "Canvas Calamity", which tests visual, entails the contestants to create a canvas in ninety seconds using various media on a randomly chosen theme, with guest Sean O'Neill judging which canvas best embodies the theme. Challenge 3 called "Cranium Crash", which tests logical, requires the contestants to complete a series of algebraic equations. Challenge 4 called "Teeter Tower", which tests physical, has the contestants balancing an increasingly heavy table using a hand pulley while building a tower with their other hand on that table using small planks to a specified height. 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 Steve Patterson 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
