Mahamad scores 11 points

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

In the studio prior to everyone’s attempts being shown, Lasse asks all of the contestants how many of them knew how points were earned. Mahamad is the only one who raises his hand. When the audience applauds him, Mahamad cuts them off, saying that it didn’t mean anything other than that he knew how the points were earned, implying that he performed badly. After trying to earn points by playing squash, Mahamad takes a bite from a cupcake and decides that perhaps the way to earn points is actually up where Mark is; Mahamad does not notice that he earned a point (by wiping cupcake icing from his face) until he is next to Mark, leading him to believe that the points have something to do with the stairs; this belief is reinforced when Mahamad idly touches his face while climbing the stairs, earning him another point. Mahamad eventually gives up on his stairs theory and moves on to wondering if he earns points by saying something specific. He repeats various questions where he happened to earn points because he was idly touching his face while doing so. When Mahamad manages to reach nine points, he picks up the picture of Lasse and waves it around in an attempt to earn more points; this docks two points from his total (for showing disrespect to the Stormester); after accidentally knocking the picture over (and losing more points), Mahamad decides to see if he can get into negative points by purposefully being rough with Lasse’s picture. Mahamad paces around thinking, constantly touching his face while doing so, and finally realises (when he only needs two more points) that touching his face is what has earned him points. Mahamad completes the task in 28 minutes 4 seconds and earns fourth place.
