Toy fails to blow out a candle

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

Toy moves the barrel of tubes close to the candle in order to create something sturdy that stands at the height of the flame. His first idea is to run a hosepipe as far from the candle as possible and move air through it via the foot pump, but upon testing he realises that the hose is too long to provide a strong enough gust of air. He moves on to experimenting with the vacuum cleaner, which he has placed just far enough away that it does not blow out the flame. While moving the hose closer, Toy’s time runs out – with the candle still lit. Toy earns fifth place.
