Pamela misunderstands, then understands, then misunderstands, the task

At some point during the walk from the playhouse to the shed, Pamela misremembers the task, believing that she must get 10 items simultaneously airborne (presumably due to the 10 minute time limit). Pilvi does nothing to dissuade her of this idea.

Thankfully for Pamela, she decides to re-read the task brief, and once again reads aloud that it in fact says “as many different items”. Unfortunately for Pamela, this somehow still does not register with her, as she almost immediately misremembers the task brief as dictating exactly 10 different items.

She gathers 10 small items from the shed and puts them in a bucket before returning to Pilvi and unceremoniously tossing them all into the air. She then informs Pilvi that she believes her task has been successful, provided she did not “somehow misinterpret” it.

In the studio, Jaakko questions Pamela about her insistence that she was only limited to 10 items for the task. Pamela only seems to be semi-joking when she claims in response that she must have had a different task than everyone else. She then admits that on the day, she had thought the task (as she had understood it) was “incredibly boring” and easy.

Unsurprisingly, Pamela gets just 10 different items in the air. She earns fourth place, but Jaakko also awards her a bonus point, as she is the only contestant who had no duplicate items in her total.
