Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

  • After learning what they need to do in the task, Solveig admits that she didn’t exactly pay attention to the players’ names, as she’d thought it was a distraction, so she’d tried to remember other details about them instead. In the first round, Solveig incorrectly names ‘Spiralen’ as ‘Johnaldo’, Ida incorrectly names ‘Sveini’ as ‘Gerro’, Steinar incorrectly names ‘Goofy’ as ‘Kerk’, Amir correctly names ‘Kongen’ (because that’s the name he’d said he was giving his next child), and Einar incorrectly names ‘El Toro’ as ‘Masterbyp’. In the second round, Solveig incorrectly names ‘Superstein’ as ‘Polinabo’, Ida incorrectly names ‘Masterbyp’ as ‘Gerro’, Steinar incorrectly names ‘Gerro’ as ‘Johnny’, Amir fails to give a name in time for ‘Johnaldo’, and then Einar correctly names ‘Cesc’. In the third round, Solveig correctly names ‘Cesc’, Ida correctly names ‘Spiralen’, Steinar incorrectly names ‘Andy’ as ‘Klaedden’, Amir correctly names ‘Masterbyp’, and Einar correctly names ‘Goofy’. Since both Amir and Einar have correctly named two players after three rounds, there is then a tie-breaker game between the two of them. This is a game of speed, in which the fastest person to correctly name each player chosen by Olli earns a point, and the winner is the first to earn two points. In the first round, both Amir and Einar correctly name ‘Superstein’ at the same time, so no-one earns a point. In the second round, Amir correctly names ‘Andy’ first, so he earns a point. In the third round, Einar correctly names ‘Johnaldo’ first, so he draws even. In the final round, Einar correctly names ‘Kongen’ first, and so wins the tie-breaker. Einar therefore wins the task, with Amir placing second, Ida and Solveig placing joint third (having correctly guessed one name each), and Steinar coming in last (having not correctly guessed any of the players’ names).
