Mehdi attempts to use rope to keep a basketball on a treadmill

Mehdi decides to use rope to tie the ball to the running machine, which of course involves touching both of them with his hands.

What's more, the plan doesn't even work, as the ball falls out of the rope cradle he has created, so he ends up just rolling the ball with his hand towards the back of the treadmill, and registering a total time of 4 seconds.

In the studio, he attempts to argue that atoms don't actually touch one another, so he never actually touched the ball or machine.

Mehdi receives one point for his effort.
