Solveig researches medical conditions

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

Solveig observes that there are about 200 people in the audience, so uses her phone to search for results to the query “1 in 200 Norwegians have…”. From the results, she learns that about 1 in 200 Norwegian have a genetic defect leading to familial hypercholesterolemia, so she asks the audience if that applies to anyone there. Backing up the research, just one person raises their hand. Since Solveig was then tied with Steinar for first place, the pair compete in a second round, as a tie-breaker. In this second round, Solveig asks if anyone in the audience was born with hip dysplasia, leading two people to raise their hands. Desperate to win, Solveig asks whether the second person is absolutely sure, because “it can be misdiagnosed”. She ends up in second place. After the task, she apologises for celebrating the audience members’ genetic defects, and wishes them well.
