Matthieu sits near some onions

Matthieu appears to have problems even understanding the wording of the task, initially.

Once understood, he begins chopping onions in front of a pair of desktop fans.

He then moves one of the fans away and just hovers his face over the chopping board, without further cutting or in any way manipulating the onions.

He does manage to collect two tears in this way, and follows up by holding two halves of a cut onion near his eyes (which is no more effective).

It is unclear how many tears he collected in total, but he earns third place.
