'Take the biscuit ' - an idiom?

[duc]

Hello,
I've just read an exercise in my book that I find difficult. Here it is :
A number of common expressions include have or take + noun. Do you know what these mean?
1 Why don't you have a go?
2 Well, that really takes the biscuit!
3 I'll have to take the plunge and tell her.
4 She was always taking the mickey out of me
I don't know ''take the biscuit '' means.Can you help me,please
