Sebastian struggles to count the balls

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

Sebastian begins the task by proclaiming that it will be "easy". He reaches in and extracts the small basket of smaller balls from inside the main basket, and attempts to estimate the number of balls in there by using cubic multiplication. He somehow comes to an estimate of 1,250 balls in total for the main basket, but makes this estimate while many of the balls are still on the floor. Realising his mistake, he starts picking the balls up and returning them to the basket individually, before herding them into one corner of the room using a length of wood. Though this is effective, he still does not manage to return quite all of the balls before the time runs out. Having not kept to the rules of the task, he is disqualified.
