Congratulations Team Sterling, you spent the least and therefore won this week's task. You may return to the house thread.
Could Team Mercury please make their way to the losers cafe thread. |

I know this doesn't change anything but our flight was £2300 and something because it included other stuff (It was in small print) but we still win. Just wanted to be honest!
![]() Well done Team Sterling!!!!! ![]() Taxes weren't to be included.

Boardroom will continue at 8.45pm. This is to allow Team Mercury time to discuss the loss of this task.

It seems like part of the loss of this task is down to not reading the brief. Someone explain to me...

You obviously didn't read the brief then.

We were supposed to find links to the items, as quickly as we could and as cheaply as we could, as the team that spent the least would win. I understood that, I thought it was clear.
There wasn't much structure or plan as to how this task would be tackled. Most of the PMs were sent within a few hours of the task announcement, whether as the other team was still sending PMs this afternoon. Perhaps you were too hasty?

There were a few items where you spent just over what Mercury spent, but the most appalling difference is the flight. You really didn't do much searching for that did you?

There is a lot of information to get into the brief. If I "make it complicated", as you put it, most questions that candidates will ask about the brief are answered.
