Jack uses a ready-made source of odour

Having read the task brief, Jack notes that the task requires the ‘strongest’ smell, but not necessarily the ‘nastiest’ one.

He then walks out to the storage area behind the plastic sheeting of the lab, and immediately finds a battery-powered air freshener which is just small enough to fit inside the jar.

Jack is fourth to reveal his smell in the studio, which Alex prefaces with a warning about the “highly-pressurised jar”. As Jack unlatches the lid to the jar, it actually pops open due to the internal pressure. After taking a sniff, he states that “it smells like a disgusting air freshener”, and Alex points out that he can already smell it from where he’s sitting.

After Greg takes a sniff for himself, he states “Oh! That is unpleasant.” Before adding “that’s like my nan’s come back to life.” After sitting down, Greg states “that has made me feel a bit funny, actually.”

Greg ultimately awards Jack 5 points for having created the most powerful smell.
