Aku’s bird statue

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Aku brings in a small bird statue, which he received as a gift from a friend who bought it during a trip to Pompeii.

When Jaakko asks what’s surprising about it, Aku claims that a bird’s wingspan is often surprisingly large. Confusingly, he then suggests that what’s beautiful about the bird is its small size, stating that “small is beautiful.”

Jaakko remarks during the scoring that none of the surprising items were particularly beautiful, and none of the beautiful items were particularly surprising, so everyone earns just 1 point.
