Simon removes some money froma champagne tower

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

During the reading of the task, Simon is notably absent. Mark plays footage that reveals why: when Simon enters the lab (where the task is taking place), he bounces in; the vibrations cause the champagne tower to fall down. Simon, however, is not one to give up easily. He reads the task anyway, and sees that “time starts NOW,” (i.e. once he’s read the task). He could have actually used this to his advantage by picking up any loose money from the fallen tower; instead, Simon rushes to the kitchen to grab glasses to build a new champagne tower. While building, he realises that he is touching the glasses, which the rules also forbid. At this point (presumably knowing he’s disqualified), Simon opens a new bottle of champagne (spilling it everywhere), fills a single glass, sources credit cards from everyone in the room, dips them into the champagne, and places them in Mark’s pocket before leaving with the champagne bottle. Simon earns no points.
