Paleface takes his time
Paleface picks up the banana and realises that it is frozen. He looks at the bottle to see if it is frozen as well, and realises that there’s something in it. However, like some of the other contestants, he believes that the bottle contains ice. He takes the banana into the kitchen and, while running it under hot water to thaw it, wonders how he can melt the ice in the bottle. He puts a pot of water on the stove to boil, wondering if he is taking too much time. When the water is hot enough, Paleface takes it into the lab, and places the bottle into it. After leaving the bottle in the hot water for some time, he extracts it and throws it against the floor a few times. Fortunately, the bottle does not break, and this process loosens up the jelly. He manages to remove half of the jelly from the bottle, and is then easily able to feed his mushy banana into it. He completes the task in 16 minutes and 47 seconds, and earns third place.
