Nikki’s surprising success

Nikki chooses the rucksack, which turns out to be filled with ping pong balls, which she pours into the yellow wheelie bin. She insists on taking her time, to get the task done correctly the first time. She slowly rolls up the tarp, stopping often in order to press down on it to remove any trapped air. Having rolled the tarp up in one direction, she turns her attention to rolling it up in the other direction, kneeling down on it after every turn to try to compress it even more. She finds a knife and cuts off the frame of the rucksack, in order to allow the bag to stretch further. Amazingly, she manages to get the entire tarp into the rucksack just as her time runs out. Henrik, who had chosen the same container, and failed, stands and applauds her in the studio. Nikki earns second place.
