Inês AP tries to sneeze

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

Inês tells Nuno that she has a trick to help her sneeze: staring into the light (this is called a ‘photic sneeze reflex’). She stares into one of the lab’s bright lights and shoves her finger up her nose in attempt to tickle it. This causes her to cough and laugh, which she half-heartedly attempts to pass off as a sneeze. She states that sniffing pepper has never caused her to sneeze, so she rules out that method (though later on in her footage, there are small bowls of different peppers on the table, so she clearly tried at some point). She (jokingly) attempts to bribe everyone in the room with birthday cake, saying she’ll bring some if everyone agrees that Inês' fake sneeze was legitimate. Eventually, Inês sources a feather, but it’s too big and stiff to fit up her nose. She attempts to agitate her nose by sticking the quill end of the feather up it instead; surprisingly, this causes her to sneeze. Inês sneezes in 7 minutes 12 seconds and earns fourth place.
