They are split into two teams of five for their first two challenges, those teams pitting the top five scorers of the entrance exam versus the bottom five. Donning a wet suit, Daniel emerges from the water pit to introduce the first challenge: to diffuse an underwater bomb by solving problems which reveal the diffusing codes, which they must communicate to their diving colleague non-verbally. Their second challenge consists of one-on-one pistol duels, the winner of each duel having the ability to answer the previously asked questions. One member of the losing team in each of the two challenges goes to the danger zone for potential elimination. In both cases, they come to an easy consensus. That danger zone challenge has the two trying to identify and spell twenty items on a table. The losing competitor is the first eliminated from competition. That person is thwarted by not focusing on the small details. Written by Huggo See less
