Jonas gives Mark a special hug

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

Jonas admits he’s not much of a hugger to begin with, but says that the best hugs in his life are the ones he shares with his daughter when he drops her off at school. Jonas walks Mark (wearing a backpack) to a nearby kindergarten, pretending it’s Mark’s first day at a new school. When they reach the school, Jonas hands Mark a few cheese sticks in case he gets hungry, then kneels down (as Mark is meant to be a young child) and hugs Mark goodbye, reassuring him that the children will like him, and if they don’t, then Jonas will like him instead. Lasse says he found Jonas' hug charming and nostalgic (as Lasse is himself a father), and awards Jonas first place. NOTE: At some point during the filming of this task, Jonas stored the rest of the pack of cheese sticks in the backpack Mark was wearing. Everyone forgot that the cheese sticks were there; nearly a year later, season 6 contestant Martin Johannes Larsen would find them while searching for clues to solve the ‘Find out what’s in the safe’ task. It also just so happens that Eva used the same brand of cheese sticks as one of her clues, which further throws him off.
