John attempts to decode Wingdings
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
John asks Alex to sit in the seat marked 'Alex's seat', and then suggests they wait for 'the joker man' to turn up to sit on his designated seat. He then runs into trouble with the signs he has written in Wingdings, since they are unreadable, and he can't remember what he wrote. He then spends much of his remaining time trying to decode his signs by typing keywords he remembers back into the laptop using Wingdings. However, he cannot figure them out, so concludes that the font actually changes each time you use it. In a last ditch effort to fulfil the instructions on at least one of his Wingdings signs, he sits on each of them in turn. At the very end of his attempt, he almost drops the laptop on the floor. He manages to fulfil the instructions on roughly half of his seven signs, placing last.
