Gilmário finds out about the Chinese person

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

Gilmário realises almost immediately (or just assumes) that Helena understands Portuguese, so begins his conversation with Helena by mentioning that Angola (his country of origin) and China have a good socio-political relationship, and that Helena should see this task as an opportunity to strengthen it. By asking a few unaired questions, Gilmário determines that “shi de” means ‘yes’ and “bushi” means ‘no’, and continues his interrogation of Helena primarily using yes/no questions, or listing things for her to confirm or deny (like types of food). Gilmário obtains all correct answers in 23 minutes – 14 minutes of which were spent solely on finding out when Helena was born - and earns third place – but Vasco bumps him up to second place, as he obtained all the relevant information, unlike António Zambujo, who only found out Helena’s birth year and not her entire date of birth.
