Steinar's pipe-based plan pays off

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

Steinar sets up a chute by attaching two pipes together and resting them on a barrel below the watermelon. He also adds another pipe as a barrier at the bottom of the chute, to guide the watermelon towards the pool. He has his doubts that it will go very far but, when the watermelon is released, it rolls perfectly down the chute, along the guides, and smashes on the wooden decking around the pool. Steinar is overjoyed with his result, and he earns first place so cleanly that his distance is not even disclosed.
