Task: Market Day - How Much Food Can They Get?
In this task, the power to pack
as much food as possible from a set of basket (warehouse) of foodstuffs (Garri,
Yam, Pawpaw) lay in the hands of the contestants as they have to convey the
food items from the basket at one end to another at the other end in a relay
format, each member of the team making about four trips.
The foodstuffs collected from the
warehouse must be balanced on their head untouched as the make their way
through obstacles – climbing a the first beam, a see-saw and then going under another
beam to the other side to offload the foodstuffs. They are to pour the food
stuffs in the baskets on their heads into another basket on the floor without
touching the basket, even if the basket was falling off their heads or the
foodstuffs poured.
The contestants were paired in
twos: Chinedu/Sharon; Cosy /Evi; Emmanuel/Samantha & Otto/Noela to carry
out the task. Chinedu and Sharon didn’t finish conveying their foodstuffs before
the mall was closed.
After the task, the contestants were
asked to continue working on the clues to get a possible answer which they will
reveal at the place of the talking drum.
Back in the tent, a big surprise awaited
them, a gift from the council of elders - a crate of cold gulder and two chickens.
The significant objects were
returned to the Place of the Talking Drum.
After several efforts of trying to
define/put together the meaning of the lettered tiles gotten from all the found
significant objects to arrive at a possible answer, the contestants came up
with,
“See the heart of the
hunter”
Having not had sufficient food for
about two days, the food supply was to prepare them to embark on the search to
retrieve the General’s Helmet.
The lesson Ikenna E took away
from the GUS is never to take anything (no matter how insignificant it may
appear) for granted any more. “Little things are valuable,” he said.
