Fathi is impatient

Fathi runs down the stairs and outside to search for items. He finds a large rock and picks it up to check its weight, reasoning it might be a good candidate for adding to the large cube. In next footage shown of Fathi’s attempt, he is already placing his chosen items into the large cube, comprising a dinner plate, two pans of different sizes, the smaller cube turned upside-down, and the rock resting on top of it to displace more water. It’s unclear what Fathi’s sixth object is. Fathi uses his hands to further displace the water, arguing that a human being is not an object or item, but a living being, and that there was only a limitation on the number of ‘items’ that could be placed in the cube. Fathi manages to get the water level nearly to the top of the cube. He then re-reads the task, and realises that he has forgotten the rule about not placing any items into the large cube before 10 minutes have passed. As he comes to this realisation, Pilvi helpfully informs him that he still has 50 seconds remaining. As he broke several rules, Fathi earns last place.
