Jakob pushes a watermelon up a slide

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

Jakob re-reads the task and asks Mark to lift the slide up. While the watermelon rolls down the slide towards the finishing line, Jakob pokes it with two breadsticks to help propel it across the finishing line, in an attempt to claim that the melon was pushed across the finishing line via breadsticks. Lasse decides that in the instance of this task, Mark is simply a tool that Jakob used, and that having Mark move the slide was the same as Jakob moving the slide himself, as he told Mark to do so. [Note: as this ruling would definitely contradict other times Mark has successfully been used to bypass rules in other tasks, this decision was likely made to increase the entertainment of the show by having this attempt counted among all the actual disqualifications]. As the decision is made to base the results entirely on the number of breadsticks used, Jakob earns second place, having used 4 breadsticks.
