Melvin gets plenty of cardio

Melvin initially suggests blowing air into Mark's mouth, and then running far away, so that Mark can use his air to blow the candle out.

He adjusts this plan by inflating a carrier bag with his breath, giving it to Mark, and asking him to expel the air after counting to 50.

Melvin sprints out of the house and down the street, but Mark's attempt to release the air towards the candle fails miserably.

Melvin returns to the lab to find the candle still lit.

He returns to his original plan, using a drinking straw to blow air into Mark's mouth, and legging it back down the street while Mark holds his breath.

This time, Mark successfully blows out the candle while Melvin is 180m away from it.

This earns Melvin second place overall.
