Alex squeezes lemons

Alex initially ignores the knife, and starts stacking lemons in a pyramid shape. However, when it collapses while he attempts to add a third row, he picks up the knife and starts slicing.

He then goes back to his pyramid idea, using the halved lemons as a base, and eventually using all five cuts to slice single lemons in half.

After a few attempts at building up his pyramid, Alex gets the idea to squeeze the juice out of his halved lemons, to see if they will hold the uncut lemons more solidly (presumably because they would be less prone to sliding around on the table).

At some point, Alex abandons his pyramid idea and opts to stack all of his squeezed lemon halves on top of one another.

Alex builds a 24cm tall lemon tower, and earns third place.
