Hani thinks smart, but acts stupid

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

Hani cleverly identifies that the key to doing well in the task is to not be too ambitious, but to just make sure that the ball gets into the cup on the third attempt, and that others will probably disqualify themselves by trying to get too much distance. For her first attempt, she tries to drop the ball from the balcony and into the cup, which is on the steps below. Unsurprisingly, it misses the cup and bounces around on the steps for some time. For her second attempt, she drops the ball from the top of the steps, into the cup placed on the grass just a few feet below. This also misses, but bounces around less. For her third and most important attempt, she releases the ball from less than two feet above the cup, which she is holding in her other hand. The ball does initially land in the cup, but then bounces straight out, and she fails to re-catch it. Hani therefore earns joint last place, along with Leo and Lars.
