Zagorath comments on Jet Lag: The Game - Japanorama

With the sushi belt, did the rules say the options chosen had to be secret? When I first heard the rules it sounded to me like a legit strategy could be to publicly chose three options at different prices that are clearly identifiable and then shuffle them up and blindly identify.

There are often very detailed rules that we don't see on screen, according to The Layover when Tom questions various Taskmaster-style shortcuts. I think they got very cautious on this since "are humans an animal?"

That’s true, and I know they’ve moved away from the taskmastering since it didn’t get received well by the audience. But personally when I first saw this task I didn’t think it was really a taskmaster approach. It was literally the first most obvious interpretation of the task.

Ok yeah, based strictly on the wording of the puzzle, it only says your partner must taste test blindfolded. Obviously only they know their intent in writing it, but a strict reading of how they wrote it, you could definitely set it up so they know the three options.
