Canada’s Greatest Know-It-All, Discovery
With a huff and a puff, two teams compete to build the strongest four-walled structure possible, with predetermined materials. The building must withstand the wind power of a tropical storm in the “Storm of the Century†challenge and protect its’ inhabitant – a stuffed pig – but in a surprise last-minute twist, the opposing team gets to determine the wind direction. In the “Boom†challenge, two teams have to determine the “kill zone†– the area in which a human being would not survive – around the explosive destruction of a nine-meter-long trailer. And in “Smarter than a Scout,†two individual competitors go head-to-head to prove they know as much as a typical boy/girl scout by completing five merit badge tasks in five categories before one of them leaves the competition.
