Lift me up!
- Come on, Mark! - I had gotten so far.
God, I'm getting the pipe up my ass.
Ouch!
Huba!
Carsten is very grateful.
Tell me, Regitze...
I would like to be a little alone.
Good evening. Welcome to Stormester.
In the old days, you had to beat the world's elite in chess -
to be able to adorn yourself with the title 'Stormester'. That's over.
Now you can just assess how many turnips can fit in a urn.
In your face, Magnus Carlsen. [Norwegian chess grandmaster, or 'Stormester' in Danish]
Shouldn't we greet the participants? This is Puk Elgård.
Mathias Helt.
Natasha Brock.
Carsten Eskelund.
And Tobias Dybvad.
Well, Mark. Welcome to you too.
You've spent a bit too much time with Carsten Eskelund -
and you have dressed more casually this evening. You've put on a vest.
I have joined a very exclusive club: The Fêvreritters.
I am the chairman.
I am also the treasurer. And I even sit on the board.
So you can guess for yourself, who is also the vice chairman.
Jacob Risgaard, I suppose. [investor on Danish version of 'Dragon's Den]
No, it's me.
But it's not just me who looks a bit different.
No, it's appropriate to ask a question I have only used -
when I have met people, who recently got a vegetable garden.
- How's it going? Are they growing? - Yes, thanks. This is five days.
They are growing more vigorously than I expected.
Mathias, you asked last week if, if I lost my eyebrows -
if in this episode you could be allowed to draw my eyebrows.
One should pursue their dreams.
You gathered the courage to ask, and I think you should be allowed to.
Fantastic.
Yes, thanks. God, how nice.
You decide yourself, whether it should be...
...above or below, or right on the spot.
I think I will give you...
Now we start. This one over here will be...
It goes like this.
- Come on now. - This one is like...
Then you turn this side to, when you feel like...
What a lovely glimpse. If any of us other participants...
That's how I used to have my eyebrows in the '00s.
Something must be put at stake by a participant in every single show.
I am excited to see -
if anyone has other ideas for body hair removal.
Carsten, you brought a prize.
- Yes. - Yes?
What is it?
To leave the room?
- Is that your walking frame? - Do you need help?
No...!
Wow.
Like many other Danes during the Corona period, I drank a lot.
I also got a new hobby. I've always had a dream of -
being a tennis umpire.
So I took an online course, and then I bought an umpire chair.
You start by officiating series 6. [lowest league level]
There you need to have your own judge's chair.
I'm putting it on the line now.
The winner of this judge's chair will also referee on Saturday...
Refereeing a very exciting relegation battle -
between Birkerød and Holte Tennis Club in series 6.
- I sense a certain skepticism. - No, I'm not skeptical at all.
Products need to be demonstrated for me -
so I'm glad that you're going up there.
Anyone can come on and claim that they are a tennis referee.
- Should I show something? - Yes.
Out! I'll put that on the line.
It could also be used if you want to be an amateur lifeguard.
Then you can note: Who slipped away, and who did I save?
Yes, for heaven's sake.
Mark le Fêvre, where shall we first indulge ourselves in the buffet of tasks?
Do you have a little starter for us?
We're here for a task, but actually also a pretty cool product -
which has contributed to financing your latest house purchase:
These. We're talking canned potatoes.
They can really last. These potatoes are as old as you, Lasse.
And they are still just as fresh as you are.
And they taste just like you. We need to get started.
- Is that Lasse in a can? - There are many potatoes in water.
- 150 pieces? - Well.
"From the Stormester’s own garden." Mmm. Treat.
- He grows them himself? - He takes great pride in that.
Oh, don’t say that I have to bathe in potato water.
It's so good for the skin.
There is a task ahead of me. We know the can opener.
When was the last time I opened a can?
It's been a while.
It probably won't be long, before I try it again.
What does it say here? "Drain the water from the potatoes."
Just all the potatoes?
That's all the cans?
- "Fastest wins." - "The time starts now." Drain the water...
I'm just wondering if there’s a better way to do it -
before you get tendonitis.
Drain the water from the potatoes as quickly as possible.
But there’s a dozen dozen cans, 144, so there’s plenty to deal with.
- Shouldn't we get started? - We start with Puk and Natasha.
Armed with a screwdriver and for some reason a wooden pallet.
I get back pain from eating potatoes.
- May I fetch something? - Time moves on.
- What did you bring? - A pallet.
Now we need to find something, Mark.
Okay...!
What is that thick water he put in? It's not water.
It's not water that's inside. It's something like...
It's beans. So I need to find the potatoes.
Do you think you can tell the difference?
I think they sound different in the can.
Potato?
Want to try?
Shake it. They sound like beans.
- That's thinner, isn't it? - No, there's bean sludge.
Now just look here.
- That's water. - It looks like a potato!
I found it. And now I've drained the water.
- How do you feel? - Like that.
- Are you cleaning up? - You're welcome to help out a bit.
For the very first time ever.
- I was quite good. - Yes.
- Can you tolerate potatoes? - Yes, but they give me back pain.
Should I show you? Try to see.
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
You're cleaning up yourself.
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
So you're not helping with the last bit?
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
But it's true.
Did you notice that you got lower back pain when you worked in a clothing store?
- No, that really happens. - How violently do you chew?
- Something happens on the way down. - You take them out of the bag, right?
Yes. Do none of you get back pain from eating potatoes?
- Now that you ask... - No?
I get ankle pain from eating celeriac.
Your sense of smell is also tuned into the difference between bean and potato.
I grew up in a home that had supplies for three months.
If the Earth were to end. Because it only lasts for three months.
If the label fell off something -
then you should be able to identify it.
It doesn’t work. If you poke a hole in the can and say:
"That wasn't what I was looking for..."
It’s just a tiny hole. You can cover it.
It seems like extreme solutions. What times have we noted them for?
Natasha, you took 13 and a half minutes. And Puk...
Even though you spent 4 minutes finding a wooden pallet -
you completed the task in 7 minutes.
Now, I hope that someone has a pproached this a bit more wisely...
- Carsten? - Yes.
Is there anything easier than this?
This is just going to lead to a minor shoulder injury.
Drain the water from the potatoes. These are beans.
I have a feeling they are also beans.
Drain the water from the potatoes. Potatoes in the water.
- What have you found? - Something with a red dot on it.
That could turn out to be lucky.
Of course, that was cheating, because that was also beans.
"Potatoes in water."
There is also a red dot.
Are those potatoes? Smells like beans.
I must have overlooked something. I will do it until I have a better idea.
Shut up...! There was something on the back.
It's bad that I have moved them around.
Like that and like that. We turn our potatoes.
There were three. Is it that one?
God! It really looks like potatoes, Mark le Fêvre. In water.
- Not true? - Yes.
Great.
I look to you when I'm fishing for a clever solution.
But it could just as well go the other way.
I am a Nicklas Bendtner type. [unpredictable Danish footballer]
One moment something good. Next moment: "What did you buy?"
- How did it go? - Pretty decent.
10 minutes 13 seconds, so you place yourself right between Natasha and Puk.
- Who are we going to experience now? - We switch to you, Mathias.
We saw you take an hour to find a shoe -
and 4 hours on finding a grape.
So the question is whether we will see you in a psychological breakdown again -
or if our Hero has learned a bit. [the name 'Helt' means 'Hero']
Exciting.
I also want to do something, I've never...
It looks like there are six cans and something with it in the middle.
Now I know. It says: "Find the cans with peaches."
"Most peaches something over here."
Good. Mathias, turn all the cans over.
What is this? Oh, this is going to be good.
Aha!
Just to be safe...
Good. Mark...
- Was it worth it? - I feel like it was.
Now I'm opening this can.
Why is it filled with potatoes?
Unless there aren’t potatoes in the others.
I slide the potatoes down into the bathtub -
open this one, read, laugh.
Three, two, one.
"Drain the water from the potatoes." So there aren't potatoes in the others.
I would like to wait to finish my task.
This is a bit different...
It's beans!
Stop the time, Mark.
No...!
Damn, this is insane.
Who is it that has stolen your ability -
to just trust other people?
- Why are you so paranoid? - Because I'm at your place, Lasse.
And I know that you'll do anything to make me look like a huge idiot.
It's almost genius that you pour potatoes into the bathtub -
before the time starts.
No! What now? What’s with that finger?
You were like this.
See what happens to it now.
- Mark, when is the task supposed to be solved? - After the time has started.
Now comes the mental breakdown!
If one solves the task before time begins...
No...!
No!
There is that possibility, that we can say:
"The time starts now." Observe: the water is drained from the potatoes.
The task is solved in zero seconds. But I have one more question.
You pour potatoes and water into the tub. Is the water drained from the potatoes?
Or are they poured together with the potatoes?
What is this all about?
It's the good old Schrödinger's potato-water paradox.
- How do you feel, Mathias? - Terrible! Terrible!
You hide it well.
Thank you. No, I can't stay here.
I want to know what is going to happen.
Am I going to be sent home? Can I still stay here?
Now we've seen you before -
solve a task in 4 hours, because you returned to it.
I can't rule out, that there might come a time -
when you separate water and potatoes, because you return.
But until then, Mathias Helt, you are disqualified.
No!
- That's heartless. - You can't do that.
That's terrible.
Wait a minute!
He is already sad. You shouldn't boo him too.
But maybe you shouldn't judge a tennis match on Saturday.
We're only missing you, Tobias Dybvad. Can you say something about his solution?
I really don't think we should use that bathtub again.
Would it be okay to just pee in a bathtub?
Inside a small room, you can smell it more than when you're outside.
Yes.
- Was that all? - Dup-dup.
Wow.
I won't feel wrong for how proud I am.
First of all: Ugh, for God's sake.
Thank you.
Why should I accept that solution when I have disqualified Mathias?
- You're peeing in a bathtub. - I'm draining the water from the potatoes.
When I get that idea, I think:
I can't be the only one who has had that idea.
- I have two things to say... - 'Five' and 'point'.
A lot of men say: "I can't when someone is watching."
Tobias apparently can only when everyone is watching.
And it has been that way for decades -
that slang for urinating has been "pouring the water from the potatoes."
That's what you do. Approved.
Oh no!
We need some points. And Tobias is in a good position.
Fifteen-love.
Mathias gets zero points, which he handled really well.
So that's 2 points for Natasha, 3 for Carsten, 4 for Puk.
And 5 points for Tobias -
and his penis.
I would like something exotic. So where do we go next?
A little thing called an open-faced sandwich.
- Hi, Mark. - Yum.
I'm opening it.
No...! A task.
- There's something inside. - There's a lovely piece of rye bread.
Or hey.
- Oh no! - That's my favorite food.
- This is sunflower rye bread. - From...?
Kornkammeret. [Danish bakery brand] 16.95. [Danish kroner; about £2 / US$2]
But that's not the assignment, right?
"Make an exotic open-faced sandwich."
"You have 10 minutes to order ingredients."
- "And to make your open-faced sandwich." - "The time starts now."
Exotic open-faced sandwich.
- What is exotic for you? - That's what I've been called.
- I'm requesting 100 grams of penguin meat. - Halo-halo mix. [sweet mixed fruit and beans]
- Pineapple. - Candies and cucumbers.
I would like some heavy metal fish. Dolphin meat.
- Topping sauce. - Papaya fruit.
- Ube icecream. - Salmon.
- Drink umbrella. - Crocodile.
- Mango! - Mango chutney.
- A soft-boiled egg. - Do people eat snake?
- Whipped cream fluff. - And some completely ordinary butter.
- Yum-yum. - I can’t think of more.
- That's it. - The time is also up.
- Then I guess I’ll go to the kiosk. - Good luck.
This is relatively simple.
I would like to request an exotic open-faced sandwich creation.
Who goes into the kitchen first?
Let's start with you, Carsten. And just to emphasize -
that I couldn't order many of the things you wanted -
because they are insanely illegal.
But I found a solution everyone was happy about.
Oh right, have you procured all this?
Some of the things you ordered are harmful to health and illegal.
I've been thinking a bit outside the box.
The secret to good exotic open-faced sandwiches: Butter on both sides.
Not only that, it also needs butter on the sides.
So we have... What was it?
- It's salmon. - No. Liver.
- Salmon? - Snake skin.
Now I'm making it as crazy as possible.
A bit of cress. A lovely open-faced sandwich.
- A small task is coming too. - Oh god...!
I don't want to read it. "Eat your own open-faced sandwich."
Say, that's what it says.
"Eat your exotic open-faced sandwich. Fastest wins."
It's not so bad. But something about it is actually a bit bad.
- What is it? - Liver.
- People usually like that. - I really can't stand it.
Oh, how liver doesn't taste good.
- Do you know what that's called? - A mistake?
Yes. Yuck.
Damn. Imagine that we are the intelligent species. Of all animals, we are the smartest.
Even cannibals would chew around this.
It's funny that it's spelled 'liver'. [the Danish word is the same as the word for 'living']
And it feels like you're dying.
And time. Lovely.
I want to be alone for a bit.
It's lunchtime now.
Oh, when you get the other task and discover it's two halves...
It surprises me that I think: I have to eat that myself.
Because I know what liver tastes like.
Only then do I realize that liver really isn't a nice food.
I say this with all due respect for liver enthusiasts.
It is really not nice.
So 13-17 minutes in, I really want to leave.
But then I get hit by the feeling: Hell no. We're finishing this.
You can sense the seriousness when the glasses come off.
At that moment, I knew: He's under pressure now.
I feel like Puk. I can't eat liver with glasses.
The crucial factor is: whoever is fastest wins. How long does it take, Carsten?
When a band-aid needs to come off, it's nice to take a quick pull.
That's not the case here. 26 minutes.
I hope someone does better. Should we combine a few?
We are in the kitchen, so we need to go for a three-course meal.
It's inspiration from the Philippines, Malibu, and Alaska.
These are all the ingredients for a truly wonderful halo-halo.
Oh my. What?
I will go with rye bread now.
Look here, what I’m doing.
Doot. Look how nice it looks, Mark.
- This is going to be really good. - Look here.
There we go. Oh, it’s going to be delicious.
- Banana. - Oh, it looks so delicious.
Are we at a beach in Malibu? Actually, we are.
And then a tiny little put-put-put.
Look here.
Hey!
Beautiful.
Just tell me... Why did I put on those glasses?
Because you eat with your eyes just as much.
- Do you see this? - I'm looking. Wow.
A small task.
Here you go.
- Wow! - The time starts now.
Wow.
- Oh, that's good, man! - The rye bread ruins it all.
Mr. Munching is sitting and munching.
It actually tastes really good. It won't be the last time.
It fills my mouth quite a lot.
Yummy, yummy. What shall we do, yummy?
That was it. Tasted really good. Nice, see you.
Like that. Oh, there was just a piece of bread.
And a raisin.
These are two food lovers who really enjoy the meal. And Natasha.
- How was it to eat it? - Really disgusting. Worse than liver.
I can guarantee you that it wasn't.
Then there are two over here, who just dig into the meal.
I've never before seen rye bread being topped with spreads.
One must have 3 points alone for lining with rye bread.
I am going home to isolate with it. It is drawing through our outer walls.
We are a kind of open-faced sandwich's Anne, Sanne, and Lis. [members of Danish pop-rock act, Anne Linnet Band]
We have three open-faced sandwiches.
Mathias Helt, that is impressively arranged.
It is decided...
I dare say this.
I don't need to see Tobias to think: That's 5 points for Mathias -
if I award points for the most exotic. I'm not doing that.
The task is solely about eating the open-faced sandwich the fastest.
♪ If you could see what you have done. ♪ ['Hvis Du Forstod' by Sanne Salomonsen, formerly of Anne Linnet Band]
♪ If you understood how much it hurts. ♪ ['Hvis Du Forstod' by Sanne Salomonsen, formerly of Anne Linnet Band]
♪ When what you thought was 5 points, And it is nothing. ♪
What time is it?
Mathias took 9 minutes and 22 seconds.
Natasha is 15 seconds faster. 9 minutes and 7 seconds.
Puk, you are really fond of your stuffed creation.
It is swallowed in 3 minutes and 28 seconds.
The only one left is Tobias Dybvad. Is it something with pee again?
I talked my way into something with -
people who very demonstratively don't remove hair from under their arms -
is exotic to me.
- You can sense where this is leading. - Oh no.
For some, armpit hair is a bit exotic.
I just need to wash my hands.
When working with body hair, it's good to wash your hands.
- Is it just from the armpits? - Yes.
Well, this is for breading.
Wow, how it hisses.
I would dare to say that I can actually smell a bit of armpit sweat.
Just like that.
You can also work a bit with the visual.
Yes, please.
You've made that rule because I worked with armpit hair.
How my self-esteem breaks, if I slurp myself -
through your armpits, and then I'm not the fastest?
Would you like to taste it?
If I taste it, I still haven't finished the task.
No, I was just thinking that you must be curious about your work.
Yes, let's taste it together.
You should probably have a bit of everything. If you can just...
- Mmm. - That's not dumb at all.
There's nothing one would have wanted to miss.
I feel like we've gotten a bit closer.
I actually also feel that one can get too close.
I've withdrawn from a task before to maintain my dignity.
I feel that way now that I'm not eating all the food.
Tobias, I took your eyebrows. What were you going to use them for?
Was that why you brought dream cake for all of us?
You say yourself: "I'm not finishing this." You're not completing the task.
At least I have my dignity.
How are the points distributed?
- So that's zero points for you. - Yes please.
It's only 2 points for Carsten, 3 for Mathias, 4 for Natasha.
- And Puk, 5 points. - Nice!
Mark, do you have a task that's a bit more recreational?
We're going to take a quick trip to the club.
Oh my god.
Oh, I feel like Whitney Houston.
- Your old bouncer. - You look really tough.
You look like a beer hall owner.
You know exactly what to say to get in.
- Welcome. - What a cool club.
The role comes naturally to you. An authority figure.
There's a task ahead of me.
"Join the best club."
- "You have until the studio recordings." - "The best club membership wins."
- "The time starts now." - A cool club to be a part of?
- I had a club in elementary school. - Who was a member besides yourself?
It feels like something that needs to be thought through.
Now I'm going out to figure out what I want to be a member of.
So...
Mark, which newly-minted club member should we start with?
We start with you, Mathias.
I have actually joined a club.
A club where the members live -
in a parallel society among all other citizens.
Where we wear our membership badge visibly.
But to the naked eye, it is hidden.
Maybe you've met us out on the Danish bike paths.
I have indeed joined a club -
which I will show you now.
This can go many ways.
You have prepared yourself a little better.
I have joined the club -
for all of us who want to hide, that we ride our bikes wearing helmets.
I just want to say -
that there is room for a lot of members in this wonderful club.
So I've also signed all of you up. You get this one.
- I would like the biggest one. - You get this one.
I'm going to look like an idiot.
- You'll get that one. - No...!
Natasha, you can hold this one.
And Puk Elgård, you will obviously get this one.
Wow! Amazing.
It's the man with the yellow hat and his little monkey.
I think we should just show off our club membership -
as we move on to the next participant.
Well... Carsten?
Well...
An image may appear now.
There are two backstories related to this.
For young people:
Back when I was a boy, people watched television, even if it was for adults.
I watched a lot of detective series with my mother.
I watched "Mike Hammer," if anyone...
...under 60 remembers "Mike Hammer."
The other backstory has more contemporary references.
I received a gift card for a book from my mother-in-law for Christmas.
Then I go down to Bog & Idé. She says, "It’s over there." [Book & Idea - Danish bookstore chain]
We look at the shelf, and then she says: "No, it's actually gone."
"It’s probably been stolen."
As I stood down there, it reactivated my fascination for detectives.
So I became part of the... Whether it's a club, I don't know.
More a kind of brotherhood, like store detectives.
It's important as a store detective to pretend you're shopping.
So I've bought a few books here.
I happened to find an incredibly interesting book -
that really captivates me. I might have lost a bit of focus.
Here I find myself in a little disagreement -
with one of the sales assistants about...
She doesn't understand the concept of a book detective.
She thinks I should pay for the piece of literature I have in hand.
We're arguing a bit back and forth.
Scuffle is a big word, but she asks me to leave the premises.
And I provide -
after a very short time, a relatively short career as a store detective.
So I have been a member, and am no longer a member.
Two new club members, but we are missing three.
- Who should we go on to? - You, Puk.
Out of respect for the club I have been registered in, I will take this off.
Will you hold it, Mathias? I think one should...
...contribute something to a new club.
So I thought: Where is it obvious, that I should join?
So I took a trip to Helsingør. [coastal city in northeastern Denmark]
I have some of what it takes. I don't have it all.
But I have the name, so I joined the Puch club.
Fantastic.
[Puch is an Austrian manufacturer of cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and mopeds]
I left there with this vest. I am an honorary member.
So a true member...
Real member of the Puch club in Helsingør.
I stole the milk crate from a kindergarten.
Thank you very much, honorary member.
I would like to hear about a couple more memberships.
Natasha, what's wrong with you?
I'm taking this off. People need to take me seriously.
That camouflage helmet... I couldn't spot you.
This task was difficult for me. As an ex-Mormon -
I don't have the best experiences with being a member of anything.
And the idea of having to go and sign back up for something -
without knowing what it was, seemed a bit creepy to me.
I tried with training clubs, but that was an even worse cult.
Now I've found the safest club for me to be in.
And it's a club sandwich.
May I say: What a fantastic club and outfit.
But it needs a bit of hair before Tobias will sink his teeth into it.
You can just put that on.
- We're missing Tobias. - We certainly are. Tobias?
I read a story from TV 2 Nord -
about a scooter gang that was terrorizing Aalborg. [Denmark's fourth largest city]
I found that exciting, so I asked the journalist -
if he could put me in touch with El Presidente.
Would you like to see me and my club? Or my gang.
- Very much. - Yes please.
A cool club. You get open-faced sandwiches and a small beer afterwards.
Great. Thank you very much. I'm ready to award points.
For a long list of reasons -
I avoid clubs where I have to wear headgear.
And one of them is sitting on my head right now.
I'm going to give you a single point.
Carsten, being a store detective speaks to something I don't like:
My need to keep an eye on whether others follow the rules. 2 points.
3 points, because you make me hungry.
Then there are the two speed bandits. It's hard to tell them apart.
I'll get the chance to ride a scooter -
the kind they race around on. 4 points to Tobias.
I grew up in poor conditions, Puk, and dreamed of riding a Puch Maxi.
- Come. - Yes!
So come.
Fantastic.
Mark, we're missing a single task, done at my place.
We are now going to a task where you could end up looking a bit silly.
Hi, Mark.
- What have you done now? - Hung up a lot of tasks.
- It's a nightmare. - Where should I start?
- Should I just get started? - You may.
- It's totally Harry Potter-like. - What does your gut feeling say?
"Complete the task. This is not the task."
"Fastest wins. The time started when you entered."
- Was that it? - No, it certainly wasn't.
- It's in a completely different language. - "Die Aufgabe erledigen."
It's just different languages.
So I have to figure out what the task is?
You nail it, Tobias. Figure out what the task is. That is the task.
- Who can enlighten us about that? - Not Carsten Eskelund.
But we have to start by seeing you.
The time started, I sensed. It can go wrong in many ways.
- Do I just choose one? - Yes.
- So it's about choosing right. - Yes please.
The time has stopped.
Time has stopped? But I haven't done anything.
- Yes. - I've done enough?
- So I leave again? - Yes. After you.
- Thank you. - A lot.
- Did I do it right? - Yes, yes.
When you watch the clip again -
can you see now, what you're doing that is so right?
Not reading anything aloud?
No, Carsten actually solves the task very quickly.
Without figuring out what the task is.
Witch! Burn him at the stake!
No, I...
But I don't care. 5 points, and let's move on.
I don't care if I understand why I get them.
I'm not saying what you did right.
But you managed to do it twice, and you solved the task in 45 seconds.
Clever.
- Who are we going to experience now? - Mathias, Natasha and Tobias.
"Complete the task. This is not the task." I'm starting over here.
[speaking gibberish]
That wasn't it.
- You've hidden tasks everywhere. - "This is not the task."
I'm not reading that out loud.
- It's also a different language. - Finnish, I think.
"Complete the task."
- That wasn't the one either. - A mild form of torture.
"Complete the task."
Is that a metaphor for being in a job search course?
- "Complete the task." - "Complete the task."
Is it your hope that I go insane?
- You understand it's a timed task? - Yes.
Mark...
Well, I need to open it. "Complete the task. This is the task."
"This is the task. Thank Mark."
Thank you, Mark.
Was that it? Thank you to Mark.
Thank you, Mark!
[This is the task]
The first in German.
- Second in German. - Oh, how lovely.
Thank you.
One must figure out what the task is, before one can solve it.
Or just be polite like Carsten, who just manages to weave in a thank you.
And suddenly the task is solved. Can we see that again?
Yes, thanks.
Unfortunately, the time had not started.
All those tasks that are not the task, couldn’t you do something with?
- Puk, you can speak fluent Finnish. - (speaks gibberish Finnish)
You must have been able to read some of the tasks.
I don’t think we have seen my solution.
I don’t know if there is time to show it in its full length.
As I understand it, we just need to have some times on the first three.
Then we will return to Puk.
Tobias, you seemed a little tired in the clip.
You manage to open over 100 tasks.
And it takes you a little over 16 minutes.
Natasha, you used 6 minutes and 23 seconds.
And Mathias, you completed it in only 2 minutes and 49 seconds.
Yes! Finally.
Your weakness might be, Mathias -
that when I give you a task, you read the task -
and make up rules that aren't written in it, which you also have to follow.
He's not doing that in this task. Someone has to pick up after.
I'm sorry you all had to witness a 20-year delayed school-parent meeting -
that I had here with Lasse Rimmer.
You have so much more in you, Mathias.
"Now read what it says, instead of guessing!"
The two boys your age that you have brought with you are not your parents.
Even if you call them daddy.
We are still missing Puk Elgård.
We will not see your solution in full length.
And thank God for that.
What could the task be?
Maybe I should sort them into European and...
Am I weird?
17, 18, 19... 25, 27...
There isn't an envelope for all the countries in the world.
These are the same. Maybe I should sort them.
"Fastest wins." I'm groping around in the dark.
I don't really like being in here right now.
(speaking gibberish)
There is a wok.
Should the kitchen items match the letters?
Cake stand. Then it should be French.
It actually was.
[This is the task]
Jugs. The political jug maker.
Ugh, I'm losing all my blood.
Yuck.
Do I have them all now?
What have I missed?
Should I sort by countries? Two countries are not European.
- Does it matter? - No.
- Have you read them all? - I probably haven't really read them.
"This is not the task." "This is not the task."
Thank you.
How can you overlook that you have the right task?
After envelope number 200, I don't read it so thoroughly.
Wow, I was under pressure there.
- How long did Puk Elgård take? - 35 minutes and 19 seconds.
Puk needs to mark it in her tennis calendar -
unless something changes.
We are missing tonight's final task, which is taking place here on stage right now.
I can assure you that our five participants -
have been equipped to solve the task. Who will read it aloud?
Mathias, could I ask you to read it out?
You can bet on that.
Was there anything else that needs to be read? Carsten, do you have any books?
"Place the most table tennis balls on your helmet plate."
"You may not take off your helmet or glasses during the entire task."
"When the green lights turn on, you should place your hands on your hips."
"The last to place their hands must bow deeply to the Stormester."
"Most table tennis balls on the helmet plate -
after 100 seconds wins. The time starts on Mark's signal."
The goal is to get the most table tennis balls on the plate.
But you need to be a bit alert.
When the light turns on either behind you, or the one in front of you -
you must place your hands on your hips.
The one who does it last must bow deeply so all the balls fall off.
We will only continue once the bow has been approved.
Mark, give your signal at my signal.
- Here you go. - Zididada Day.
I'm a bit unsure about this.
This is putting it all on the line.
It's not a good idea. Or is it?
Puk does it too. No, I know I'm wobbling.
Mathias Helt? The light is on.
I need you to make a deep bow for me.
- Thank you. - You can continue.
- Time is still passing. - God, am I still in?
- Yes. - Oops.
This is the best example of the importance of getting an education.
I'm on my 26th...
Oh no, where are my balls? They're here.
Mathias Helt, I need to ask for a deep bow.
Here you go.
Carsten Eskelund, I need to ask you for a deep bow.
There we go. Thank you. Continue the time!
There are five seconds left.
Three, two, one...
Time's up.
This is how the points are distributed: 1 point to Carsten, 2 to Tobias.
- 3 points to Mathias Helt. - Yes!
Puk Elgård, 4 points. 5 points to Natasha Brock.
Who is it that can not only take a tennis umpire chair home -
but also mark an X on the calendar for the weekend?
You have to officiate a tennis match, Puk Elgård. Congratulations on that!
- Fantastic. - Do you want to try to sit on it?
- Out! - Puk has a new hobby.
If you just turned on your TV, you've missed it all.
But we will be back in a week. Thank you for tonight.
