Pirjo makes a multi-layered alarm system

Pirjo runs to the shed, in search of noisy objects. She strings several small bells onto a long piece of string, and tapes it on one of the main double doors, making sure that it cannot be seen from the outside. She also balances a few ping pong balls on the top edge of one of the doors. She then gaffer-tapes a bowl of small unidentified objects to the base of the side doors. We are never shown the rest of Pirjo’s plan for the side doors, nor do we see Pilvi assessing those doors. Pilvi looks through the windows of the main doors, and sees what she believes is Pirjo’s only precaution: a bowling pin at the base of the door, which would fall over when the door is opened. Pirjo has strategically placed the task brief itself against one of the door’s lower window panes, to obscure the rest of her set-up. Acknowledging that there are likely more items guarding the door, but apparently believing that the carpet will muffle the sound of the bowling pin, Pilvi tries to enter through the main doors. As she opens the door, the bowling pin falls onto a tambourine, sounding the alarm, and the ping pong balls also fall onto Pilvi’s head. Likely presuming the alarm is over, Pilvi then continues to open the door, causing the bells on the string to start jingling. She also knocks over a bucket of items that Pirjo had left next to the door. Even though she stops in the doorway, Pilvi technically infiltrates the house. Jaakko awards Pirjo first place.
