Everyone but Bjarte chooses the obvious pære

Aksel, Else, Erik, and Tara Lina are all shown choosing the bulb, and giving more or less the same justification for doing so: the presence of the bulb-less lamp. Aksel actually adds on to his reasoning, claiming that while a pear would not be useful in the lamp, “I can eat that one”, thus coining the episode title.

Having made the obvious (and more useful) choice, everyone quickly screws in their bulbs after reading the task brief, although Tara Lina accidentally drops her bulb more than once in the interim, as she cannot help but toss it in her hand. When she finishes the task, she then eats the pear, voicing her suspicion that Bjarte would have chosen it over the bulb (about which she is absolutely correct).

Tara Lina and Aksel tie for first place, followed half a second later by Erik, who earns third place. Else comes fourth, with a time of 5 seconds, as she had apparently held the bulb and spoken for a few seconds prior to screwing it in.
