Mauri in the study with the belt

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

After reading the second task brief, Mauri asks if the room actually contains 99 red balloons. David simply replies that he hopes so.

Mauri doubles back to the task brief, to check what he needs to say to stop the time, and reads the line out loud. He then proceeds to pop the balloons one at a time, using the prong of the belt buckle to do so, while counting them out loud.

While popping his balloons, Mauri knocks one towards a decoration hanging on a nearby door. The balloon hits this, and then falls back to the floor, where it pops.

Mauri completes the task in 2 minutes and 50 seconds. However, he actually pops just 98 balloons, so he earns only a participation point.
