Miika accuses Pilvi of breaking his egg

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

Miika starts by retrieving a black bin bag from the kitchen, and then tests how it falls. He deliberates over which string to use, discarding a “bear string” as too heavy. Eventually, he finds a suitable one in the root cellar. He ties it to the bin bag and then to a dishwashing glove, and then places the egg inside the glove.

Miika throws his egg from the upper part of the middle window on the second floor, aiming it both upwards and outwards. The parachute sails above the roof before descending onto the gravel path near Pilvi’s feet. When Pilvi reveals that the egg is broken, Miika refuses to accept this and accuses Pilvi of having broken it herself

Since the eggs’ fall times were comparable across the board, Jaakko awards points based on dramatic flair. Miika earns 5 points, but does not earn a bonus point like some of the others, since his egg broke.
