Attempts
Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Janne brings in a battery-powered spinning solar system model.
- Jenni brings in a toy microphone.
- Jukka brings in a stuffed dog which is supposed to answer to commands like 'sit'. However, it fails to work until after the task has been judged.
- Mikko brings in a lamp shaped like one of the mystery boxes from the video game Super Mario, which chimes when you turn it on.
- Roni brings in a motorised skateboard. Unfortunately, he is disqualified because the Finnish words for 'battery' and 'rechargeable battery' are distinct, so his rechargable item does not qualify.
