Tuva throws in the towel

After reading the task, Tuva reasons that she just needs to try.

Her first throw misses, and when she starts walking around the bucket to retrieve the ball, the rope briefly slackens, and Olli pulls out more rope from the stand.

She tries pulling the rope towards her, theorising that only the rope between the stand and her harness needs to be taut, but Olli does not agree with this interpretation, and so he lengthens the rope again.

Tuva then picks up a branch to try to extend her reach, and lets the rope slacken again in the process.

As Olli is pulling out yet more rope, Tuva walks over to the ball to retrieve it, but Olli forbids her to do so.

Eventually, Tuva acquires so many penalties that she needs to throw the ball from over near the shed.

When that throw misses, Tuva gives up, challenging Olli to make the throw himself.

Tuva is therefore disqualified.
