Heikki is an excellent hider

Heikki first opens the brick tower task brief and completes it quickly, claiming that “even a three-year-old” could do it.

He next opens the garden-related items task brief, and then deconstructs his tower, using the bricks to fill the wheelbarrow before taking it to the playhouse, and placing the individual bricks inside instead of the entire wheelbarrow.

Heikki’s third task brief is the bowling one, which he accomplishes by throwing one of the skittles at the rest of them.

Heikki then opens the jigsaw-hiding task brief, and really attempts to follow the letter of the law by taking his time to walk around the forest area and hide the individual pieces.

Heikki’s next task is the one requiring him to place his hand on his hip, though he is not shown reading it. He decides to place his right hand on his hip, which appears to be his dominant hand.

Finally, Heikki opens the jigsaw assembly task and, after briefly berating himself for being so thorough, returns to the forest to search for his pieces. Unsurprisingly, Heikki has a difficult time retrieving the pieces, as one are of the forest looks much like another, and he had hidden them individually instead of all together. He also acknowledges that since he hadn’t counted the puzzle pieces, he has no idea how many he needs to find. At one point, Heikki even accuses the production team of deception, questioning whether they had secretly picked up the puzzle pieces after he had hidden them.

Heikki eventually finds four of his pieces, and decides that these are enough to complete the task. As none of the pieces are actually ones designed to fit together, Heikki forces them together, calling his resulting creation “abstract art”.

In the studio, Jaakko questions whether, based on his performance, Heikki finds the experience of being on Suurmestari to be worth the hassle. Heikki agrees that it is, saying that the task taught him a life lesson: even though people often say to live in the moment, “it would pay off a little to live in the future, as well”. He also claims that he’d done such a good job hiding the puzzle pieces that the production team had still not found all of them.

Heikki’s total time is revealed as 15 minutes and 26 seconds. As he does not fully complete all six tasks, he is awarded joint last place. However, Jaakko also awards him a bonus point “for admirably stretching the definition of a jigsaw”.
