• Karin brings in a framed screenshot from the exercise tracking site/app Strava, showing a running route she has been using, tracing out a square on the streetmap. She claims that she has been running the route five days a week, for the past two months, to perfect the shape. Bård buys her story, and awards her first place.
• Lars's prize submission seems to have multiple layers, but it's really all smoke and mirrors hiding the fact that his actual prize submission is quite bad. He introduces it by showing a photo of himself with his current girlfriend, former girlfriend, and her current girlfriend (a love square), but then points out that the Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche is sat in the background, apparently having solved a Rubik's cube while wearing boxes on his hands, and wearing a strange mask of some kind. It turns out that what Sondre is wearing is what is actually being submitted into the prize pool: a cardboard mask with four faces, which has sunglass lenses over the eye-holes, and is decorated with a variety of lottery scratch-cards. Bård is not bamboozled by all the extra stuff presented around the mask, and awards Lars fourth place.
• Hani brings in a painting she created using her own menstrual blood. Bård is unclear which part of the painting is the home-made square, and pushes Hani to explain. She admits that she didn't make the frame herself, and then tries to claim one of the square-ish daubs of blood as her square instead. As Bård starts to assign points, she then claims that the paper she painted on was her square. Bård awards her third place.
• Vidar has constructed what he has termed "an entertainment square" (thus coining the title of the episode), which is a large grey square frame with multiple compartments within it. These compartments contain: a Nintendo Wii; a cooled can of beer; a bluetooth speaker and set of party lights; an alcoholic energy drink; a shrine to Bård; an Avatar-themed candy bowl (with accompanying behind-the-scenes version, showing the use of green-screen); a vibrator (for entertaining your female partner); a mannequin hand (for entertaining your male partner); and wet wipes (for cleaning up afterwards). Although impressed by the level of effort that went into the entertainment square, Bård awards Vidar second place.
• Leo brings in a wooden contraption, consisting of four interlocked pieces, which he says was carved out of a single piece of wood. He explains that it can be arranged into over a thousand formations, including a square. After Vidar's complicated 'entertainment square' presentation, Leo's wooden square is somewhat less impressive than it might otherwise have been. Bård describes it as a moderately impressive square which Leo had not actually made himself, and awards him last place.
