Tuva gets down and dirty

Tuva – who is wearing trousers – takes no precautions before climbing right into the muddy pool and feeling around with her hands.

When Olli asks why she had not tied up her long hair, Tuva – who already has some mud in her hair – admits that she hadn’t even thought to do so.

She drops down to her knees while in the pool, and scoops large amounts of mud up with her arms, pushing it out onto the grass.

Eventually, she clears enough mud from the pool to reveal most of the image of the face. She wonders out loud if it could be Atle, identifying the person’s “pretzel moustache” and “blue-green eyes” (neither of which Olli has).

She briefly wonders if the person is Olli, and asks him to smile with his teeth showing, to make sure. However, when he does this, she immediately rules him out.

Tuva moves more of the mud around to reframe the visible area of the face, and then points out that the person really does look like Olli, around the eyes, so she guesses that it is him, and tells him to stop the clock.

Tuva completes the task in 22 minutes and 5 seconds, and earns last place.
