Gilmário throws a teabag into a mug

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

Gilmário ties a teabag around a pebble, while lecturing about the physics of why what he’s doing will allow him to land a teabag in a mug from a long distance. He also places the table holding the mug against a wall, creating a backboard that could help him should he overthrow the pebble; he then unintentionally sabotages this idea by laying the mug on its side, meaning that if he did hit the wall, the pebble would not be able to land in the mug. He seems to realise this, as he moves the mug to stand upright on the jar of spare teabags on the table, directly against the wall. Gilmário’s first throw lands in the mug. However, in the studio, Nuno reveals that this is in fact a cruel edit, and that Gilmário took 37 attempts. Gilmário’s throw is 6.9m, earning him second place.
