Petter’s chopstick collection

Petter says that his prize submission is quite obvious. He removes the cloth to reveal a wooden box filled with nothing but individual wooden chopsticks from takeaway sushi, unused because too many pairs are always thrown into the bag.

He claims to have been saving these chopsticks for over a decade, alleging that the pairs at the bottom of the box are from as far back as 1999.

When Atle questions why Petter has not thrown the chopsticks away, Petter says that he finds the idea of doing so difficult, believing that he could perhaps build something out of the wood, or use them as kindling. He then admits that he has used the chopsticks as kindling a few times, but feels guilty every time he does so.

Atle finds it difficult to decide on a ranking for the prizes, so decides to award everyone 3 points.
