Siri's tech museum rocket

Siri reminisces about a toy 'stomp rocket' that she had once purchased from a technical museum.

She then lists the various items that she needs to make such a rocket, which include a garden hose, a 1.5 litre soda bottle, some boards, and some duct tape.

She attaches the hose to the empty bottle with duct tape, then creates an angled bracket to hold the bottle horizontally on the ground. The bracket also holds the hose, which is pointing up into the base of the owl.

Siri quickly realises that her bracket is slightly too tall, and so trims it down to allow the hose to fully enter the owl.

She then kicks off her shoes, and jumps with all of her weight onto the empty bottle, propelling the owl a mere inch or two up into the air, from its launch pad.

Crestfallen, she says "It’s not embarrassing to be stupid, but it’s embarrassing to try and appear smart when you’re stupid."

In the studio, Atle mocks her for believing that it would work, and they replay the owl’s disappointing ‘flight’, to the delight of the rest of the panel. Siri earns last place.
