• Lars is so enraged by his submission for the prize pool that he launches straight into talking about it without explicitly being prompted. He brings in an envelope containing a print-out of the email in which he received his instructions for the prize tasks for the entire season. He is angered by the fact that he had to spend so much of his personal time planning his prize task submissions. As evidence of how frustrating he'd found the process, he shares a video his girlfriend took of him working on his submission for the 'most impressive home-made square' prize task. Bård awards him first place in the task.
• Karin brings in a sea urchin in a bowl of water (it's unclear if it is alive or dead), and describes how the creatures shoot spikes deep into your feet, if you tread on them, and that said spikes then have to be removed with a knife. Bård awards her second place.
• Hani brings in an autobiography by Alex Ferguson, and a football shirt with 'Rooney' on the back, to represent the former manager of Manchester United FC, and one of the team's prominent players, Wayne Rooney, respectively. As an Arsenal FC fan, she says there are no two people who have made her angrier that these representatives of that team's arch-rivals. Bård turns to Olli for his input on the issue, since he knows more about football, but it turns out that Olli is actually a fan of Manchester United. Bård awards her fourth place, since he does not personally understand the nature of her anger.
• Vidar's submission for the prize task is sheet music, representing the fact that his wife performs in a professional choir and, when practicing at home, only performs a specific part of the music, so he never gets to hear the whole song. As evidence of this, he presents a video recording of her practicing in their house. Although Bård empathises with Vidar's complaint, he ends up putting him in last place because all of the other contestants' submissions are better.
• Leo brings in a new bottle-opener gadget, representing the invention of things to solve problems which don't exist. He demonstrates the operation of the bottle opener on two bottles of beer he has brought with him, noting that it doesn't always even work, and that other countries just avoid the issue altogether by using screw-tops instead. Bård can very much relate to Leo's anger at unnecessary inventions, but ends up awarding him third place.
