No Pain, No Gain

Adam and Jamie subjected themselves to four painful stimuli - heat and electric current for Jamie, capsaicin (injected under the skin) and cold for Adam - and chose to use cold for their investigations. They then built a chair for test subjects to sit in, with an ice bath at 1 °C (34 °F) into which they would immerse one hand for as long as they could endure it, and imposed a 3-minute maximum. The following four myths were tested.

Episode 143 - "Mythssion Control"

  • Original air date: May 5, 2010

Crash Force

Jamie and Adam revisited the "Compact Compact" myth after fans complained about a claim Jamie made in the earlier episode. During the investigation he had said that two cars hitting each other at 50 mph (80 km/h) is "equivalent to a single impact going into a solid wall at 100 miles an hour". This was disputed by fans claiming that according to Newton's third law, two cars hitting each other at 50 mph is the same as one car crashing into a wall at 50 mph.

Knock Your Socks Off Revisit

The fans put forward a number of arguments, citing that the Build Team did not have a proper human analogue, and that they used elastic socks instead of non-elastic ones. The Build Team also decided to see whether hairy or hairless legs would be a factor in the myth.
