Everybody lies

In the first round, Tara Lina claims that 3 + 3 = 8. When asked if red is a colour, Bjarte affirms that it is, eliminating himself from the game (and being mocked by Atle for being the most honest person on stage). Else claims that 7 comes after 8, Erik claims that sofas are not meant for sitting on, and Aksel claims that Venezuela is in Europe.

In the second round, Else claims that football can only be played on weekends, Aksel claims that Edvard Munch’s first name was in fact ‘Aksel’, and Erik claims that defecating is a Nobel Peace Prize category. When Tara Lina is asked if a PC mouse enjoys cheese, she hesitates while asking for clarification, as she doesn’t understand what Olli has asked. She eventually claims that it does, and remains in the game, even though Atle admits she should probably have been eliminated for hesitating.

In the third round, Else claims that her last name is ‘Whore’, Aksel claims that right-handed people write with their left hand, and Erik claims that 3 + 3 + 3 = 132. Tara Lina then claims that radios cannot be watched, Else claims that ‘Thou shalt not laugh’ is one of the Ten Commandments, and Aksel claims that a blue whale is a fish (and everyone else jokingly mocks him for knowing that a blue whale is a mammal).

In the fourth round, Else affirms that May 17th (Norway’s national day) falls on the same day every year, eliminating herself from the game. There is a brief argument in which Else protests her elimination, but she is overruled by Atle (it appears that she heard ‘dato’ [‘date’] instead of ‘deg’ [‘day’]). Aksel then claims that a fish-carving knife is an item of cutlery, before Erik is drawn into the same trap as Else, as he affirms that May 17th falls on the same date every year, eliminating himself from the game (Else cheers and hugs Olli in response to the trap question). Tara Lina then claims that May 9th comes directly after Sunday.

In the fifth and final round, Aksel claims that all men have hair on their heads (and, as a bald man, cannot help but laugh at the question). Tara Lina then hesitates when trying to think up a non-existent Norwegian law, eliminating herself from the game, and leaving Aksel as the winner.
