Ivo harrasses golfers

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

Ivo begins his attempt by observing that any time spent developing a technique for tracking the time will also eat into the untracked period of time. However, he then proceeds to spend an inordinate amount of his limited time manually checking and then re-checking how long multiple hourglasses in the caravan take to run down. This whole exercise appears largely fruitless, as he never seems to arrive at a definitive estimate for how much time the hourglasses run for. He then spots the sunroof, though, and climbs up to discover the large clock on the caravan's roof. He initially tries to pull it inside the caravan, despite it clearly being too big. He then has the idea of asking a passer-by what the time is, and so pulls himself up as far as he can through the sunroof, and yells at a nearby golfer. Estimating that he has been in the caravan already for 13 minutes, and equipped with the current time of 5:25pm, he estimates that he needs to leave the caravan at 5:32. Only then does he start work on his list of words, which begins with 'establishment' and 'establishing', and also includes 'task', 'top', 'sit', 'pest', and 'post'. While working on the list, he tries to keep track of the time using one of the hourglasses, which he has presumably accepted at this point tracks just one minute of time. Before leaving the caravan, he pulls himself up through the sunroof again and asks another golf what time it is, receiving the answer that it is 5:30pm. He kills another minute by flipping his hourglass one more time before leaving the caravan, convinced that it has gone "brilliantly". In the studio, Alex reveals that Ivo actually left the caravan after 23 minutes and 17 seconds, which ultimately wins him the task.
