The special episode, titled "President's Challenge," premieres on Wednesday, December 8 and features President Obama giving the Mythbusters an assignment they can't resist. President Obama tells Adam and Jamie that he’d like them to re-test the myth of the Archimedes Solar Ray – this time with more manpower. The myth, which says that Greek scientist Archimedes set fire to an invading fleet using only mirrors and the sun, has been tested by Mythbusters twice before (and busted).
