Fathi invents ‘Dumb and Dumber’

Fathi chooses the pink bucket, and thus must invent a sport involving a meat mallet. He runs back to the mansion and searches the shed. He pulls a non-meat mallet from the shed’s toolbox, and informs Pilvi that he has all he needs, and that they need to return to the dock. Fathi names his game ‘Nuija ja Tosinuija’ (‘Mallet and True Mallet’), after the Finnish title for the Jim Carrey movie Dumb and Dumber (the Finnish word ‘nuija’ means ‘mallet’, but is also slang for ‘dumb’ or ‘fool’). Fathi presents Pilvi with the three overturned buckets from the beginning of the task. The goal of the game is to find the ‘true mallet’ (the one from the shed). The other buckets conceal either the meat mallet, or nothing at all. Pilvi does not pick the correct bucket and, as a consequence - Fathi explains - she must now pick a finger to be smashed with the mallet. Jaakko ultimately awards everyone just one point each for their sports.
