Attempts

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

  • Alice decided that she could wield other knives as many times as she wanted, as they were not 'the knife'. She then found the cocktail sticks inside a lemon, and made a tower 9 inches tall.
  • Asim cut the lemons in half, trying to pile the cut halves on top of each other. He made a tower just 4cm tall.
  • Liza balanced lemons on top of each other, stabbing the knife through them for stability. She made a tower 8 inches tall.
  • Russell balanced the lemons in the bowl, after accidentally cutting himself. He ased Alex to measure his tower on the diagonal, as towers can be supported by another structure. He made a tower 11 inches tall.
  • Tim squashed the lemons to make them more stackable for his tower, and then stabbed the knife through them at the end, which toppled most of it. He made a tower 7 inches tall.
