Victor’s homemade hot air balloon

Victor asks Mark if there is a hairdryer he can use. He searches the shed and instead brings out a leaf-blower. He continues to search the shed for something that can hover, and locates a small paddling pool, which he inflates and fastens to the end of the leaf blower. Victor’s construction seems to be based on how hot air balloons work. Unfortunately, the inflated paddling pool is just too heavy for the leaf-blower to keep airborne. After Lasse defines ‘hovering’, it is determined that Victor’s paddling pool ‘hovered’ for just over 1 second. He therefore earns third place.
