Erik has a Richard Osman moment

Erik re-reads the task brief, and realises that if he can’t easily move the water to the buckets, then he can instead move the buckets to the water (the same logic famously used by Richard Osman during the ‘Place the exercise balls on the yoga mat’ task).

He runs to the garden and retrieves all five buckets, bringing them back to the balcony and filling them directly from the paddling pool. He manages to fill all five buckets nearly to their brims, which leaves some water in the paddling pool.

It’s revealed that Erik had moved 62.5 litres of water, and he earns second place.
