Attempts

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

  • Janne collects all of the items on the table and steps onto the scale. He then gets Pilvi to climb onto his back, so he can also support her weight. He manages to increase the weight on the scale by 79.6 kilograms altogether. He is awarded 5 points because he held all of this extra weight by himself (he is the only person to do this, aside from Roni).
  • Jenni gathers wood, a shovel, chains, and various other items from the shed and places them in a wheely bin. She then places the wheely bin onto the scale and gets inside the bin. She increases the weight on the scale by 18.1 kilograms. However, because she did not support all of the weight herself (Pilvi was standing directly on the scale, instead of being carried), she only earns 3 points.
  • Jukka gets Pilvi and two members of the production crew onto the scale with him, but all of their weight is supported by one of the production crew. He increases the weight on the scale by 250.9 kilograms in total. However, since Jukka himself is not supporting any of the weight, he is only awarded 3 points.
  • Paula picks up the bowl of fruit, stands on the scale, and then gets Pilvi and a member of the production crew to stand on the scale with her. She increases the weight on the scale by 178.8 kilograms in total. However, since Pilvi was standing directly on the scale, rather than being supported by Paula, she is awarded only 3 points.
  • Roni heads into the kitchen and gathers pots, pans, utensils, and a coffee maker. He puts a large piece of watermelon in his mouth and then holds all of his items while standing on the scale. He increased the weight on the scale by 22.6 kilograms in total. He earns 4 points for this because he'd actually held all of the weight by himself (the only other person to do so was Janne.)
