Manuel tries to put 50 things in the bin

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

Manuel dumps the bin of ducks from the shed into his bin. He does not appear to be counting objects at all, just throwing them in the bin. When he returns to Nuno, he adds a few more items from the caravan for good measure – and because he has forgotten that the task only ends when he declares that he’s put exactly 50 different items in the bin. When he realises his mistake, he dumps out his bin and goes through the items, counting as he goes. Unfortunately, one of the items he uses is the task, which is near the bottom of his bin. Manuel remembers the gist of the message, and tries several variations of it, but Nuno is firm about the wording. He dumps the items out of the bin to get the task and read the sentence – the time remains ongoing because, as Nuno points out, Manuel currently does not have exactly 50 things in his bin. Manuel fills his bin again, without counting, and correctly reads the task-ending statement directly from the task. Manuel puts 60 objects in his bin.
