Definition:
It's the classic party faux pas - wearing a lampshade on your head. However, on Minute to Win It, that's your goal in this game. Rather than a few too many cocktails though, this time you'll be motivated by cash.
The Goal
Place a lampshade on your head using only a fishing rod, while blindfolded, in 60 seconds or less.
Equipment Needed
- One lampshade
- One fishing rod
- One blindfold
How to Play
Start off blindfolded. Have someone dangle the lampshade from the fishing rod, and place it in one of your hands. Start the one-minute timer, and immediately begin trying to place the lampshade on your head.
The Rules
- The lampshade must be resting on the contestant's head for 3 consecutive seconds to win.
- You cannot touch the lampshade with your hands.
- If the lampshade falls from the fishing rod, the game is over.
Tips and Tricks
- Take a couple of seconds to get a feel for the heft and balance of the lampshade before trying to maneuver it towards your head.
- It's easiest to get the lampshade hitting your forehead first, then sliding it up on top of your head.
