Solveig considers digging downwards

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Solveig spends 14 minutes holding a trowel and reading the task, with no idea of how to complete it. Olli repeatedly tells her where he’s going to drop the watermelon, to her annoyance. Eventually, he hints that she may want to stop it falling straight down when released. Initially she believes she must dig down below the watermelon to make it travel further, but then she eventually stumbles upon the idea of making a chute for it instead. She places some pipes on a barrel at a fairly shallow angle. When the watermelon is released, one of the pipes falls off the barrel, and the watermelon bounces off of it, causing it to roll just 2 metres. However, this is far enough to secure Solveig second place in the task.
