Helmi-Leena both helps and hinders herself

Helmi-Leena looks inside one of the microwaves – there is some sort of small item inside, but it is unclear exactly what is inside. She also sniffs the contents of one of the jugs, but says she won't drink anything. After nearly a minute passes, Helmi-Leena stops Pilvi’s timer, and Pilvi simply restarts it. After nearly three minutes, Helmi-Leena starts pouring the contents of one of the jugs around the lab (she apparently also does the same with the contents of the other jug, but this is not seen in the edit). Helmi-Leena then resets Pilvi’s timer after 4 minutes 18 seconds. Eventually, she opens the task brief. After several minutes of holding up the (now empty) jugs, Pilvi stops the timer, because Helmi-Leena was holding the jugs almost straight up above herself, meaning that they were no longer over the microwaves. Helmi-Leena technically lasts for a total of 8 minutes and 15 seconds. However, since she had reset the timer, her official time is noted as just 3 minutes and 56 seconds. Despite this shortened time still being longer than those of two of the other contestants, she for some reason earns fourth place.
