Leo tapes the duck to the mallet
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Leo realises that some of the other contestants will probably aim to complete the task with one strike of the croquet mallet, and states that he intends to aim for zero strikes instead, saying "Fuck strikes" (and semi-coining the title of the episode). To achieve this, he initially tries to glue the duck to the croquet mallet, but the glue isn't strong enough, or doesn't dry fast enough, so he ends up using duct tape instead. Once attached to the mallet, he passes the duck through each of the hoops in turn. Although his method is essentially the same as Lars', he insists that there were no strikes taken, and that he was merely 'guiding' the duck through the hoops with the mallet. Bård accepts Leo's "Fuck strikes, man" strategy as having resulted in zero strikes, and awards him first place.
