Hayley solves the task through charades
Hayley chooses to keep her senses of sight and touch. When talking to Paul, she seems to be able to lip read and still communicate with him.
She gets stuck not knowing how to start the task, because she can’t hear the phone. After a little while in the lab, she asks Paul if the phone is on him, which he says it is. She receives the message, but naturally can’t hear what the message is, so she gets Paul to describe the message to her with charades.
Paul starts by miming ‘pick up’ and ‘take’ easily, which she gets, and then ‘mug’ by pretending to hold it in one hand while supporting it with the other, which Hayley gets quickly after guessing ‘cup’. She is able to fill in ‘of’ by herself, and somehow gets ‘almond milk’ in footage not shown in the edit. Paul mimes ‘mannequin’ by striking a stilted pose and freezing in place, which she gets decently fast as well, and Paul mimes ‘ring the bell’ by pretending to hit one in his hand and then pointing to his ear, which she also understands quickly.
She finds the bottles and starts to eliminate some of the ones that definitely aren’t almond milk visually and move them out of the way, discounting numbers 6, 7, 9, and 12 (orange juice, sour cream, custard, and sand).
To narrow the rest down, she uses her sense of touch, feeling each of the liquids with her fingers to find the almond milk. She settles on bottle 10, which is in fact flour and water, not almond milk, which she fills a mug with.
At this point, she now needs to find the location of the mannequin, which she didn’t find out at the start, but after some looking she does spot the mannequin in the field and delivers the mug and rings the bell.
Paul tells her that he’s stopped the clock, but she still can’t hear him, so she asks him to mime that as well.
Hayley takes 10 minutes and 16 seconds, but got the mannequin’s order incorrect, so she doesn’t earn any points.
