Fathi tries thinking of Idris Elba

Fathi begins by slowly caressing the skin on his forearm. He then closes his eyes and starts softly chanting the name of actor Idris Elba. When that fails to raise any goosebumps, Fathi starts rubbing his back against Pilvi’s side. He later jokes, in the studio, that he attempted this because Pilvi, like all people from Lieksa, is quite ‘frigid’ (as in stiff and stoic). Fathi runs out of the lab and to the kitchen, where he finds a bottle of kombucha in the refrigerator, and holds it against the back of his neck. Apparently this also does not work, as the next footage of Fathi shows him re-entering the lab with a pitcher of ice water. When shoving his arm into the pitcher also does nothing, Fathi begins dropping individual ice cubes down the back of his own shirt, then moves on to attempting to get goosebumps on his legs by putting his foot in the pitcher. This does raise goosebumps, though not particularly distinct. Fathi gets goosebumps in 5 minutes and 4 seconds, and earns fourth place.
