Hani nails the one times table

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

Hani begins her multiplications with "1 times 1 equals 1", and then works her way up through the one times table, placing a single piece of macaroni into the blue cup with each number. This approach ensures that she never loses count of her pieces of macaroni, never runs out of time, and also never repeats a multiplication. She continues until she reaches "1 times 669 equals 669" and calls it a day, correctly assuming that no-one else will get that high. In the studio, Olli confirms that Hani managed to correctly count 669 pieces of macaroni, which earns her first place.
