Inês fails to make a block of ice disappear

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

Inês chips away half of the ice block using a small sledgehammer, before finally getting the idea to make a blowtorch with a lighter and a can of hairspray (or, if no hairspray is available, “a really good fart”). Inês finds a blowtorch in the shed, and uses that on the ice block instead, continuing to chip away at the block with the water. Eventually, she leaves Nuno to hold the flame on the ice block while she gets some boiling water from the house; Nuno sits down when she’s out of sight, and does not continue melting the ice for her until she returns. Nuno pours the hot water over the ice chips while Inês moves any chilled water away from the ice; she also hides a chunk of ice in Nuno’s jacket pocket. She keeps trying to distract him from searching his pockets; when Nuno finally discovers the chunk of ice, Inês (jokingly) proclaims that he is intentionally trying to sabotage her. Vasco agrees that Inês' ice block was not melted at the end of her allotted time, and awards her no points.
