Lars skips plan A

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

Lars' initial plan A is to place the bottle on the balcony railing, and throw something at it from a distance, to knock it off. His initial plan B is to tie a string around the top of the bottle, and pull it off. He then realises that plan B is the better of his two ideas, so he runs with that. He ties string to the bottle, then throws the reel off the balcony, down the garden. He hops onto a bicycle, and cycles as far away from the house as he can, letting the string unwind behind him. Dismounting from the bike, he then pulls on the string, and successfully pulls the bottle off of the balcony. The bottle lands on the ground, and the cork pops out, spraying champagne across the lawn. In the studio, Olli reveals that Lars managed to open the bottle from 147.5 metres away, which means that he wins the task.
