Bård rides a tricycle on the red green

Bård double-checks the definition of ‘trå’ ('step', or 'tread') before getting started on his attempt, and then decides to try to get around the wording on the task by riding a tricycle across the red green.

After an uneventful waffle-making procedure, he supplies Olli with a slightly pale waffle which is folded in half.

He then takes a long time to fetch some strawberry syrup, after asking if Olli wants anything on his waffle.

During the studio discussion, Atle starts to point out that Bård was focused on 'ikke trå' ('don’t step'), so Bård pre-empts his criticism and snarkily says, "det er en tråsykkel" ('it's a tricycle').

However, the Norwegian word for tricycle directly translates to ‘stepping-bike’, so Atle argues that Bård was ‘stepping’ each time that he'd pedalled.

Bård is therefore disqualified from the task.

He appears discomfited by the decision, and ends by flipping the rest of the contestants the double bird.
