Pirjo uses gaffer tape

Pirjo searches the shed, and emerges with a roll of gaffer tape. While carefully attaching some of the gaffer tape to the balloon (so as to avoid touching it with her hand), Pirjo admits to Pilvi that she doesn’t have any other ideas. With the gaffer tape firmly stuck, Pirjo tells Pilvi to release the balloon, and Pirjo then runs around with it, allowing the balloon to blow freely in the air. Eventually, she realises that she doesn’t even need to run, and so she simply sits down, holding the balloon on its gaffer tape leash. In the studio, after making Pirjo worry that she might have accidentally done something wrong, Jaakko praises her ingenuity. It is revealed that Pirjo kept the balloon airborne for 10 minutes before voluntarily ending her attempt, and so she wins the task.
