Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Pour your sand into the other bottle.

Slowest to pour their sand into the other bottle wins.

You must pour your sand from at least a foot above your other bottle.

If there is a break in your sand stream, you are disqualified.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up on stage, each standing next to a table, upon which there are two bottles.
One of the bottles is full of coloured sand, and the other is empty, but has a funnel attached to its top.
Also on the table is a rectangular piece of black board, which serves as a height guide to show the contestants the lowest point from which they may pour their sand.

Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

Before the task begins, Kiell removes his shoes to avoid getting sand in them. For some reason, he also decides to move his bottle to the ground, while pouring. During this proces - and just 3 seconds into the task - there is a break in his sand stream. He is the third contestant to pour all of the sand out of their bottle, but is disqualified.
Mae is the first contestant to pour all of the sand out of their bottle. However, at the same time as there is a break in Kiell's sand stream, there is also a break in Mae's stream, so they are disqualified.
Frankie is the second contestant to pour all of the sand out of their bottle. However, just seven video frames after there were breaks in Kiell and Mae's sand streams, there is also a break in Frankie's, so he is also disqualified.
Ivo is the fourth contestant to pour all of the sand out of their bottle. However, just two seconds after there was a break in Frankie's sand stream, there was also a break in Ivo's, so he is also disqualified.
Jenny does not get to pour all of the sand out of her bottle, because she stops after breaking the stream, about six seconds after there is a break in Ivo's sand stream.
