Behrouz in the study with the belt

Behrouz chooses the belt and Babben’s office (the study).

After reading the second task brief, Behrouz starts whipping at the balloons in an attempt to pop them, with varying degrees of success.

When David eventually asks if there may be a better way to accomplish the task, Behrouz realises that maybe he can use the prong of the belt buckle to do so. He continues popping this way, counting out loud as he does.

Behrouz fails to say “Stop the timer” at the end of his attempt, simply shaking David’s hand and leaving instead. He quickly yells the phrase in the studio, in a vain attempt to make up for his negligence.

Behrouz actually completes the task in 5 minutes and 53 seconds, but as he did not say the required phrase, he is credited with finishing the task in the maximum amount of time (10 minutes). He does, however, pop exactly 99 balloons.

Behrouz ultimately earns second place, purely based on the fact that he’d popped the correct number of balloons.
