Jenny creates a tiny ball of string
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Jenny says Alex's name within seconds of entering the room. Having read the task brief, she sets about unwinding the ball of string onto the floor. While doing this, she notes that it would be "awful" if, having completed the process, she was then instructed to wind it all back up again. Once she has completed her unwinding, Alex checks with her that she has done everything that's written on the task, and she finally spots the extra text on the back. Her reaction is to ask "Why did you do that to me? Why would anybody do that?". She begins rewinding the string, and then points out that the task says nothing about how big the ball has to be. She therefore creates a very small ball of string, using just part of the string she has unravelled, and places that on the red cushion. In the studio, Alex reveals that Jenny completed the task in just 3 minutes and 54 seconds, earning second place.
