Solveig uses a staple gun

After attempting to crack a chestnut with a glass jar and a coffee grinder, Solvig places a nut behind the handle of a heavy-duty staple gun, and squeezes out a staple.

The force of the squeeze cracks the chestnut open, and Solveig happily places the resulting kernel onto the pillow.

Solveig completes the task in 2 minutes and 48 seconds, and earns fourth place.
