Challenge 1 called "Letter Chaos", which tests linguistic, asks the contestants to form three words around a listed theme from a given set of color coded letters corresponding to them being in the same word. Challenge 2 called "Blow Back", which tests physical, entails the contestants, in specially equipped side moving and rotating chairs, to play a floor hockey-styled game against the others, with guest Dan O'Toole calling the play-by-play. Challenge 3 called "Portfolio Pro", which tests logical, has the contestants calculating the profit from investments purchased and sold or on dividends paid. Challenge 4 called "Stack of Shapes", which tests visual, has the contestants choosing which three out of nine complex shapes are overlaid on a figure shown to them. And Challenge 5 called "Karaoke Nightmare", which tests both social and musical and worth double the points, has the contestants performing karaoke to background rhythm and lyrics they've never heard or seen to a randomly selected musical style, with guest Jully Black judging the quality of the performances. 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
