Siri uses her body
Siri reaffirms that she is not allowed to bring any liquids into or out of the lab, but reasons that she needs to find something to bring in to warm up the mulled wine, as she can’t just use her body temperature to do so.
After doing some sort of experiment with copper pots which does not make the edit, Siri then falls back on precisely what she’d said she couldn’t do: she sloshes the mulled wine around in her mouth to warm it up as best she can, using only the heat from her body.
When Olli measures the temperature of the wine, he does so by sticking the thermometer directly into Siri’s mouth, before then spits it back into the mug.
Siri then notes that the wine had acted like mouthwash, and that she had consequently spat out some particles of old food with it.
Siri warms her wine to 27°C (80.6°F), and she earns fourth place.
