Melvin disappoints his maths teacher

Melvin is uncertain how to calculate the perimeter of anything, and asks Mark if it’s length times width, before proceeding to measure the height of the shed to calculate its length.

He dumps the meatballs out on the ground and spreads them out, before admitting to Mark that he has no idea what he is doing.

With his time running out, Melvin offers a random guess of 37 meatballs, before declaring that he’s afraid his old maths teacher will be fired, once the footage airs.

In the studio, Lasse presents a prerecorded message from Anne-Mette, Melvin’s old maths teacher, who is also in the audience.

In the message, she says that soon after she tried (and failed) to teach Melvin maths, she found a different job.

As the actual answer is 450 meatballs, Melvin earns fourth place.
