Sofie snatches defeat from the jaws of victory

Sofie cuts partway into a lemon, then remembers that she is only allowed five cuts.

She asks Mark if biting the lemons is okay, and then proceeds to do so.

She bites the ends off of several lemons and stacks the remaining lemons on top of each other.

Sofie’s initial tower falls, so she tries again.

She actually manages to build a tower that is 6.5 lemons tall, but it falls over just before her time runs out.

Sofie’s final lemon tower is therefore just 7 centimetres tall, which earns her third place.
