The Moment of Truth Chess Task

This is one of my favourite Moment of Truth tasks. This is where a man has to complete a knights tour of a Chess Board within 3 minutes without visiting the same square twice. Sounds impossible.

That little giggle at 4:15 he knew it was in the bag

[@quantiseduniverse]

One of the hardest challenges I've seen! Thanks for posting!

Back when Saturday night TV was worth watching.

As Cilla said: Once I heard that little giggle at the end there. He's done it!

Incredible

[@aandslw6727]

This whistling from the audience is incredible!

[@namk19]

That was amazing

[@mAcroFaze]

i love how his wife feels the need to smack him on the forehead after winning her and the family all those faaaaabulous prizes!!

[@jaradoref]

Also if u listen carefully, he says 11 black and then 13 white. It is lucky he didn't make a mistake and completed the task.

[@stuarthough8440]

he was probably saying black and white so he wouldnt forget what colour he went on last

[@EssexWolf1993]

One challenge I always remember was for one family, the wife had to memorise every single station on the London Underground off by heart. Spoiler alert: She passed!

[@jaradoref]

I remember that one. I think she had to memorise 54 stations forwards and backwards from London Paddington.

[@RandomPeter94]

@@jaradoref That sounds similar to the one where a lady had to remember a train journey from Maidstone East to Gretna Green and back.

[@jaradoref]

@@RandomPeter94 they are similar but not the same

[@EssexWolf1993]

@@RandomPeter94 I found that one, it’s the very first episode and the last challenge of that one.

#ITV CHESS TURN A TASK 🇬🇧

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

was there a monetary limit to the value of all the prizes? I know on the American and Japanese versions of this show there were. ($25,000 in cash and prizes on the American version, and 3 million yen in japan.

I remembered 1 challenge where there was a woman that has to remember the Pokemon names.

it can be learned pretty easily actually. if i remember right, they had a few days at home with the task to prepare. I dunno why he kepy sayin "black, white" with the numbers as they always alternate black, white with even and odd numbers.
