Karin looks inwards, and then goes far away

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

Karin initially interprets the task to mean that she should look out as little as possible, and so closes her eyes and bows her head, telling Olli that she is "looking inwards". After a while, she decides it's sufficient to just keep her eyes closed (presumably because her neck is getting tired), and then she decides to stand up and cover her eyes with her hands. After some back and forth with Olli, where he places the emphasis on the word 'out' differently, she re-reads the task brief, and registers the alternative meaning of the phrase. She correctly predicts that Leo would probably have interpreted the task in the same way she did. Deciding that she's going to do a 'combination' solution to the task, she heads down to the end of the driveway with Olli, looking down at the ground all the way, and is then filmed crouching down next to Olli in the far distance, from the house. In the studio, Bård points out that Karin doesn't really look small in her final photo, as much as she just looks very far away, since she'd taken Olli to the end of the drive with her, rather that using Hani's trick of leaving him in the foreground. She ends up in fourth place.
