Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- David spent ages untying the shoelaces in the lab, at one point having Paul read him the story of Rumpelstiltskin to him, before collecting the remaining shoelaces and untying them on the bench outside. He untied all the shoelaces in 2 hours and 12 seconds, receiving 5 points.
