Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

Ardal initially chased Alex around the room, whilst growling, trying to get his phone, before realising he had to find the phone Alex was calling. He found the fake ringtones in the lab, dome and shed, but quickly found the box and the key. He answered Alex's phone call in 10 minutes and 12 seconds, receiving 5 points.
Bridget was initially flustered about what she had to do, ending up walking around the house in circles carrying a bin bag full of cuddly toys whilst banging a saucepan. After lying on the floor banging her pan, Bridget eventually found the box, easily retrieving the key from her boot. She answered Alex's phone call in 23 minutes and 1 second, receiving 1 point.
Chris found the fake ringtones in the lab, dome and shed, but quickly found the box, struggling to retrieve the key. He answered Alex's phone call in the second fastest time, receiving 4 points.
Judi found the fake ringtones in the lab, dome and shed, putting the cuddly toys in a shopping trolley whilst strolling around the house, struggling to retrieve the key. She answered Alex's phone call in the third fastest time, receiving 3 points.
Sophie managed to find the fake ringtones in the lab, dome and shed, putting the cuddly toys down her trousers to carry them, quickly retrieving the key from the tree. She answered Alex's phone call in 19 minutes and 5 seconds, receiving 2 points.
