Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Live panics and tries to take the tablet and tape measure out of Olli's hands, before attempting to tip the table up on end, but runs out of time before she can do so. Because she does not claim anything in the room as her tower before she leaves, she earns last place.
- Espen panics and stands his phone up on the table in its case, as his tower. Although he also balances an item from his other pocket on top of it (a small container of mints or gum, perhaps?), Olli judges that it should not count because he placed it after the time was up. Espen initially seems satisfied with his attempt, until he realises that the task brief itself is taller, when stood on end. With a tower of 16.2cm height, he earns fourth place.
- Martha immediately climbs up onto the table and reaches up as high as she can, to the ceiling, stating that the tower starts at the floor. With a 2.82m tall tower, she earns joint first place with Kristoffer.
- Kristoffer immediately climbs up onto the table and reaches up as high as he can, to the ceiling, stating that the tower starts at the floor. With a 2.82m tall tower, he earns joint first place with Martha.
- Henriette immediately climbs up onto the table, but does not stand up fast enough, so is still leaning over when her time ends. She also does not specify that her tower includes the table, so Olli only measures from the table top to the top of her head. With a 1.2m tower, she earns third place.
