Bjarte wets himself with excitement

Very little footage of Bjarte’s attempt is shown. Like all of the other contestants, he realises that he can move the buckets. However, unlike the others, Bjarte’s lateral thinking ends there.

Bjarte lines up the buckets on the steps directly below the balcony, then uses another bucket to scoop water from the paddling pool to pour down into the buckets. He is apparently pleased with his solution, claiming that it is the natural result of wisdom coming from age.

Bjarte is not particularly careful with his pouring, and so he ends the task with a large wet spot on the front of his trousers. He insists that although it may look like he’s wet himself during all of the excitement, he has only “watered” himself.

It’s revealed that Bjarte had moved 46.7 litres of water, and he earns third place.
