Doc's good plan falls apart

Doc immediately realises that it’s going to be windy at the top of the hill, and sets off at speed, holding a ball under each arm.

Placing the two balls on the yoga mat, he then goes about prising rocks out of the soil, to use to prevent them rolling away. Unfortunately, he apparently doesn’t use enough rocks, as one of the balls gets caught by a gust of wind and rolls off down the other side of the hill while he is retrieving the third.

Upon discovering his error, he begins to look for additional rocks before retrieving the ball, but almost loses another to the wind while doing so.

A couple of people then arrive at the top of the hill and Doc, almost completely out of breath at this point, seizes the opportunity to ask them to help prevent the two balls at the top from rolling off while he fetches the third. One of them appears to reluctantly agree, and he is able to finally get all three balls onto the mat, completing the task, but thoroughly exhausted.

Back in the studio, he recounts that his plan to anchor the balls somewhat fell apart due to the lack of large enough rocks. Alex reveals that Doc took 12 minutes and 25 seconds to complete the task.
