Einar identifies the correct solution
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Einar initially places the items in alphabetical order. From his point of view, left-to-right, they are ordered as follows: angel (‘engel’), fifty kroner (‘femtilapp’), four-leaf clover (‘firkløver’), sextant (‘sekstant’), tomato (‘tomat’), and then tree (‘tre’). After placing them, he remains in the room and thinks for a little while longer, before identifying the correct solution of putting them in numerical order: angel (‘engel’, with ‘en’ meaning ‘one’ in Norwegian), tomato (‘tomat’, with ‘to’ meaning ‘two’), tree (‘tre’ meaning both ‘tree’ and ‘three’), four-leaf clover (‘firkløver’, with ‘fir’ meaning ‘four’), fifty kroner (‘femtilapp’, with ‘fem’ meaning ‘five’), and then sextant (‘sekstant’, with ‘seks’ meaning ‘six’). He earns second place.
