Phil rolls a yoga ball

Phil searches the shed and almost immediately decides to spin the yoga ball he finds there.

He starts to jog up the nearby ski slope, passing a grazing family of geese as he does, and keeping in touch with Antoine via his phone once he reaches the top.

Phil then releases the yoga ball, which follows the curving ski path down the slope. However, as it picks up more speed, the yoga ball begins to bounce, causing it to veer off course, and eventually settle into a rocky depression.

Afterwards, Phil tells Antoine that while he was watching the yoga ball roll down the hill, he’d had time to think about all the other things he could have done. It transpires that he was talking more broadly than the context of the task itself, though: he suggests, for example, that he could have gone on to higher education.

Phil’s yoga ball spins for 1 minute and 17 seconds, and he earns third place.
