Attempts

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

  • Ana stomps on the kiwi. She puts an unknown fried item into the water, and briefly examines the egg with the magnifying glass. She half-heartedly squeezes the wallet between her elbows, and bites into it, giving up when she realises it's a hard item. She moves on to biting the egg. She guesses that one of the items was an apple, at the end of her attempt, and scores a correct answer for that because one of the items was apple pie. She successfully identifies four of the fried items – egg, apple (pie), kiwi, and dough – and earns three points.
  • Enio bites into the dough and the green tomato. He squeezes the egg between his elbows. He stomps on the wallet and, although he opens the wallet, does not find the hidden receipt. Enio dunks the apple pie into the water and fully dissolves it onto the plate, licking up the remains, making him able to guess that it was apple and sugar. Enio successfully identifies all six of the fried items – kiwi, egg, green tomato, apple pie, dough, and wallet – and earns four points.
  • After sniffing and licking all six items, Igor stomps on the kiwi. He then bites into the wallet, identifying it correctly. Instead of his elbows, Igor squeezes the green tomato between his hands, to the visible disappointment of Ivan, and then proceeds to guess that it's a fried cucumber. Igor successfully identifies just two items – wallet and kiwi – tying with Ante and earning one point.
  • Ante bites into the fried egg and stomps the kiwi. He then bites into the wallet, but guesses that it's a child's shoe. Ante attempts to squeeze the green tomato between his elbows, but isn't strong enough to break into it. Ante successfully identifies two of the items – egg and kiwi – and ties with Igor, earning one point.
  • Lidija bites into the apple and the egg. She squeezes the kiwi between her elbows. She stomps on the wallet, getting it stuck on her high heel. While Lidija opens the wallet, she does not discover the hidden receipt. She smashes the green tomato under the magnifying glass, claiming to be looking through it. After soaking the dough in the water, Lidija takes it to the nearby sink and pours more water over it. Though she successfully identifies all of the items, there is debate as to whether or not her attempt should be allowed. Ivan puts the vote to the other four contestants: if they all agree, Lidija will receive five points. If even one contestant disagrees, Lidija will receive one point. Igor, Ante, and Ana all agree that Lidija's attempt is valid. After Enio extracts a promise of a bottle of cognac from Lidija, he also agrees, and she earns five points. [Note: this task was shown after a series scoreboard update which showed that Lidija was in last place, a full ten points behind her nearest competitor, which is likely why no-one tried to challenge her attempt.]
