Anders throws something into a pedal bin

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

Anders ties a rope to the bin’s pedal and places the bin on the patio while he stands in the yard. His theory is that yanking the rope down will pull the pedal down to open the bin; in reality, all it does is pull the bin off of the patio and onto the yard. Still, he tries this method several more times, altering the force with which he pulls the rope, which results in either pulling the pedal bin down into the yard or breaking the rope off of the pedal. At one point, Anders actually whacks himself in the face with the rope when he pulls it from the pedal bin. Finally deciding to just have one successful throw, Anders sources a wooden plank from the shed and uses it to push the pedal bin open as he tosses a tennis ball into it. Anders' manages a successful throw of 142cm, and comes second in the task.
