John makes extensive use of oars

Choosing to first flick the flip-flop, John places Greg’s statue at one end of the garden, then attaches a bungee cord to the statue’s thumb. Wearing safety goggles for protection, John attaches the flip-flop to the other end of the cord and then releases it. The flip-flop flies off across the garden, and John is pretty happy at the distance it travels.

John then decides to flip the flan, by placing it on the end of an oar and then tossing it across the lawn like a lacrosse ball. The flan breaks apart as it travels through the air, with the main crust travelling the furthest and breaking into two pieces.

This leaves John with having to flap a flapjack. Continuing with his use of oars, he asks Alex to gaffer-tape two oars to his arms. After he instructs Alex to attach them tightly, Alex asks him if he wants him to tape them onto John’s skin, as well as his jacket. When John says yes, Alex visibly perks up at the prospect.

We then see John trying to figure out the best way to flap his flapjack to gain the most distance. He then places the flapjack on one of the oars and flaps it across the lawn, covering a greater distance than both his flan and flip-flop.

In the studio, Greg describes John as a “human albatross”, based on his appearance after the oars were taped onto his arms. Greg also comments on how happy Alex had been to tape the oars to John’s skin, and a picture of Alex’s face in that moment is shown on the screen.

John’s final measurement is a whopping 408 pigeons (40.8 metres), and he earns 5 points, much to his shock.
