Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Ida shouts about not knowing where the basket is for a bit, and then screams when she eventually finds it. She picks up the bowl containing the eggs, and manages to lose and break two of them in the process. She then carries the bowl to the door of the house, before discovering she has been locked out. She manages to throw one egg into the basket, after it had cracked against the wall. She then wraps an egg up to protect it, and manages to successfully throws that one into the basket as well. Unfortunately, that egg also ended up cracking, so she scores no eggs, and earns joint last place.
- Amir walks around the property for a bit, and eventually notices the basket. He creates a makeshift spear, using a knife and a stick, and attempts to retrieve the basket by throwing the spear at it. In the end, he ends up putting all of the eggs into a pillowcase, and trying to launch the pillowcase into the basket. He misses the target multiple times, and ends up with no eggs in the basket, earning him joint last place.
- Einar carries the bowl of eggs to the door of the house, before discovering that the door is locked. He decides to try and lower the basket to the ground by using some wire and an anchor, which he flings haphazardly towards the upstairs window. He then wraps all of the eggs in some bubble-wrap, and tapes the package up. He only has enough time left at this point for one attempt at throwing the package into the basket, and fails, earning joint last place.
- Solveig takes a while to find the basket, since she spends most of her time looking down at the ground. She then tries the door to the house, but discovers that it’s locked. She tries to use the umpire’s chair to reach up to the basket, but fails to remove it from where it is hanging. With just 50 seconds left, she decides to start trying to throw the eggs into the basket from the top of the umpire’s chair. She manages to gets six unbroken eggs in, and earns second place.
- Steinar searches the shed and the exterior of the house for a while before spotting the basket. He takes the bowl of eggs to the door of the house, before discovering that it’s locked. He then cuts a hole into the stuffed toy hamster, and puts the eggs inside of it. With just seconds left in his attempt, he manages to successfully throw the egg-laden hamster into the basket. With 19 unbroken eggs, he earns first place.
