Maria's polystyrene shoes

Maria decides to use some of her budget to buy herself a soda.

She is then seen standing on top of two large polystyrene blocks.

She gets Olli’s help in taping the blocks onto her feet, as she lays on the ground laughing. She apologises for not having shaved her legs that day, and Olli admits that he hadn't shaved his either.

Maria then states, a couple of times, that she thinks she will win the task.

Olli lifts her to her feet, and she stands looking satisfied with her plan, before walking awkwardly towards the lake.

She becomes stuck almost immediately, once she reaches the water. One of the blocks of polystyrene breaks in half, and Maria ends up in an awkward partial-splits position, before slowly collapsing at the edge of the lake.

Atle judges the attempt on method, length, and effort, and as such is forced to award Maria last place.
