Ep 6. Engineering.

In season 1 episode 6 of the British game show Taskmaster, titled "Engineering," the five remaining contestants are tasked with completing various engineering challenges under the watchful eye of the Taskmaster, Greg Davies, and his loyal assistant, Alex Horne.

The episode begins with Greg and Alex revealing the first task: the contestants must build the tallest tower using only a single sheet of paper. The catch? They can only use scissors to make any cuts or incisions in the paper. From folding, rolling, and twisting the paper into different shapes to strategically placing objects on top of the towers to stabilize them, the contestants are forced to think outside the box and get creative with their engineering skills to come out on top.

Next up, the contestants must build the most effective ramp for a remote-controlled car to jump over a pool filled with water. With materials like duct tape, cardboard boxes, and wooden planks at their disposal, the contestants must work in pairs to engineer the perfect jump. The judges evaluate each ramp based on the height and distance the car travels over the pool, as well as how well the ramp holds up after multiple uses.

The third task of the episode requires the contestants to engineer a device that can launch tea bags into cups placed at varying distances. With only a few basic materials like rubber bands, straws, and paper clips, the contestants must use their knowledge of physics and mechanics to create the most accurate tea bag launcher. With the added challenge of hitting a target that moves further away with each round, the contestants must make adjustments and refine their designs to stay ahead of the competition.

In the final task of the episode, the contestants are tasked with constructing a miniature golf hole that incorporates at least one household item into the design. From utilizing a washing machine as a windmill to incorporating a vacuum cleaner into the obstacle course, the contestants get creative with their designs and engineering skills to create the most interesting and challenging holes. Greg and Alex put their golf skills to the test as they compete on the varied courses designed by the contestants.

Overall, "Engineering" is a fun and challenging episode of Taskmaster that highlights the creative and engineering skills of the contestants. With tasks that push the limits of their imagination and test their knowledge of physics and mechanics, the contestants are pushed to their limits as they compete for the coveted Taskmaster trophy.
