“She always pings her bra when she’s pleased with herself...” Greg and Roisin’s friendship was such a highlight of the first series. Even if Roisin was absolute shite in the show, it was great to see them pick on each other
Romesh managed to be the one of the two to not break any eggs in the "get the egg as high as possible" task, only to nullify that effect by destroying a family of chicken in a golf game.
The tennis ball idea was brilliant! But then he hit the ball as if it'd break just as easily, making his hit counter so very high. Brilliant idea, terrible eggsecution. Sorry.
In "real" golf, you are not allowed to "push" the ball with the club. Rule 10.1 states: In making a stroke: The player must fairly strike at the ball with the head of the club such that there is only momentary contact between the club and the ball and must not push, scrape or scoop the ball. Roisin at least should have received a penalty stroke for each time she "swept" the ball. Also not allowed to strike the ball or egg while it is moving. So Rosin could possibly have been penalized 10-fold. And Tim's hits while the "ball" was still moving on the ramp, would fall in this category and results in a two-stroke penalty.
The calculated the points as: Shots * Eggs * Minutes = Score. Since the goal is to get the lowest points, then if they took no shots at all maybe they could win. Anything multiple by zero is zero, so zero shots multiplied will result in a winning score of 0.
If they didn't use any eggs and just said "I'm done" then technically their score would be 0 at the end because regardless of time anything times 0 is 0. Unless the judges argued that they didn't complete the course, which is true but they never said there was a time limit and at the time of judging it would be 0*0* a really high number.
maybe it is possible if you blow the eggs through the course, with a leafblower or so, that doesnt count as a shot and it would indeed be 0 shots x a few eggs x some minutes
Really? What is the point of putting then, if everyone can just sweep the ball super easily? It's a long time since I played golf but I don't remember that being allowed. Unless by sweeping you mean something else than what she was doing?
ONE egg, about ONE minute, all holes. Pick up egg. jog to hole, dunk egg. Retrieve SAME egg, got to next hole. repeat until complete. Sure the rules of miniature golf might object, but I am *absolutely sure* there is no specific rule that says you "must hit your EGG with a club"
I feel like Greg's bit with Roisin about knowing nothing about golf 'Do I have to use a club' heavily implies that you were meant to play it like golf, and that Greg would've just DQed anyone who did that.
Having watched the tasks available here in TH-cam, I'm inclined to agree: several tasks have been completed (and approved by Alex and Greg) by observing what's NOT written in the instruction. If something's not spelled out as forbidden, contestants have won by exploiting that. So when the task doesn't specify that you have to abide by the standard rules of mini golf, I'd say you can pretty much do what you want. However, there's one unspoken rule I think everyone feel compelled to follow: don't be an arse and take the fun out of it. And maybe that's what stopped them, because it wouldn't be much of a challenge or even funny if one of them tried it. Well, maybe just a little funny...
I'm incredibly surprised that not one thought to cheat by just placing the egg next to the hole, and pushing it in... Or better yet, just place one egg in a hole, take it out, put in the next hole, and so on, all by hand. No shots, so nothing to multiply. Zero is the lowest number.
He should've just said "I'm vegan I'm not playing this game" and he would've won. 0 eggs 0 points lowest score wins* *I'm not familiar with golf rules 😂
@@gyroofthyme If a participant wants to count his/ her infinite time against 0, I guess the verdict would be: "We're still waiting for your infinite time to end before we can multiply that with 0, we'll get back to you on that. As your score still hasn't been verified at this time, is still counting and is currently being calculated, we'll get back to you with your points when your infinite time has stopped counting." It's not zero points given, it's just no points given until a score can be set, which will probably be way after all persons in this show have perished. Perhaps when the sun dies and planet earth is destroyed in a couple of billion years, the participant will get 5 points in the task with the perfect score of zero. Then again, winning by not actually striking the eggs and just casually herding the eggs around is absolute shit as well.
@@carpetclimber4027 Infinity isn't a number though. Regardless of how long the round would take, the result would still be 0. It could then be argued that since the show doesn't have that kind of time to wait, the theoretical result, 0, could be used in lieu of a practical result which cannot be acquired.
Wasn't the obvious solution to just take no shots? The goal is to get the lowest score and it's all multiplication. If you take zero shots, no matter what your result will be zero, which is the lowest possible score.
The objective of the games is to make Greg happy. If he doesn't like how you bent the rules, he will disqualify you. It's not really about being clever. It's about knowing how to please Greg.
Well if you think about it, the scoring formula was = time x eggs used x shots made. If you just walked away and didn't use a single egg, or make a single shot, that'd be a total score of zero. The best strategy here would be to just walk away.
There was no rule saying you had to hit the egg. Meaning that you could just pick it up and put it in the hole.... which would mean that your number of hits is either 0 or 1. If it's 0, then every hole would be 0 and it's an instant win.
i think a push while in contact should not count as hitting, even though its an applied force if someone pushed me while they had their hands on my chest i wouldn't say you hit me i'd say you pushed me
but then they would not have completed the task so it's an automatic disqualification. also 0 * infinity is a bit more complicated than that and depends on limits
Part of the task demands that you “must complete the 5 holes using eggs” so you would still need to get the eggs into each hole. But arguably the loophole of picking up the eggs and putting them in is still there, just that no one tried it so we have no idea if Greg would have gone for it
Why is he mad that he broke some eggs. Yeah, they came from hens, but they are not fertilized. So they weren't going to become chicks. "Eggs sold in grocery stores are not fertile; therefore, they will not grow into baby chicks if placed in an incubator."
Who is going to hard boil them first? Of course, it's Josh has the first idea of doing it.... and he only soft boiled them. The egg in the ball was a great idea.... but it looks like just sweeping through "brute" force wins the day.
presumably greg and alex would argue that the phrases "play golf with eggs" and "_complete_ the 5 holes" (which implies you must play the course, not just get the egg in the hole) means you can't do this. either getting you disqualified, or last place out of pity lol

That means you could theoretically just pick up the egg, put it right next to the hole, and swing it in. Call it an easy win
The extra swing is redundant
@@AssemblyWizard You found a loophole, if the score is shots x minutes x eggs then that means you'd get a score of zero

No Josh, earlier Greg said if MOST of the egg gets in you get a point, not "any".
As a golf player, sweeping is most acceptable. Actually, it's the only way you should putt. Hitting the ball while putting is most inaccurate.
