The riddle of the boxes (possible spoiler)

The riddle, as Wayne describes it, didnt make sense to me either.

It sounded similar to the old one about the two sisters, one of whom is lying. You solve that riddle by asking one sister "what would the other sister say if I was to ask her?".

However, for this riddle it did not sound like there was any way to ask such a question. It only seemed to say what that box would say about itself. If one tells the truth and one lies, they should always both say the same thing, whichever of the two the key is in, so you would be non the wiser. However Wayne keeps saying one said "in this box" the other said "in the other box", which does not fit unless they are both lying, or both telling the truth.

I am left wondering, either Wayne and Fash did not remember the instructions and were reporting it wrongly, or was the whole thing a setup? Perhaps there was nothing in any of the boxes...

I only got to see the ITV1 show today, and they showed nothing of the celebrity box fandango. After reading so much about the unsolved riddle today, I expected it to be included.

Did Tara and Mark include it in their show?
I thought it was odd that the main show ignored the episode completely

I was surprised it wasn't on either. Another puzzle in itself.

Maybe the production team got it wrong and the way they set it up with the two pots and two chests there could have been two answers and they didn't want the public to spot their cock up.

It is a great pity, because apparently there was some even funnier goings on when they were out finding the chest. It isn't as if there wasnt time to show some of this story, because they had an unecessary long clip of Fash doing marshal arts (yawn) with Phil, so I think the only explaination can be biased editing.

On the whole Wayne was hilarious yesterday, quite the joker, but he hardly appeared in the edited show. During this time Phil was very down, if he did anything it was only to moan, yet they gave him tons of good coverage.
