Source [1]: Mentions "Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes! Twenty-four thrill-seekers will compete in the world's largest extreme obstacle c". It's a listing of episodes for the fourth season.

Source [3]: Mentions ABC announced plans on Dec 8, 2008, to counter-program NBC's Super Bowl game-day telecasts.
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Wait, looking at the provided text: The synopsis for Season 4 is extremely sparse. It says "Here is a comprehensive listing of all of the episodes from the fourth season of American game show Wipeout." and then Source [1] provides a snippet: "Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes! Twenty-four thrill-seekers will compete in the world's largest extreme obstacle c".
Problem: I cannot meet the 160-220 word requirement using only the provided text without inventing details. The provided text is roughly 40-50 words total.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary, but the source material provides almost nothing. If I write 160 words, I will be inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden by the system instructions.
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word
