Task brief

The task brief is found on the table in the lab. The brief for the task is as follows:

Put the most stuff on top of this jelly, without breaking the jelly.

If anything other than jelly touches the duck, you are disqualified.

Heaviest stuff on the jelly exactly 10 minutes from now wins.

Task notes

The task takes place in the lab, where there is a lemon-flavoured jelly with a rubber duck inside of it on the table.
This task bears some similarities to the 'Place the most weight on the eggs' task from Kongen Befaler, but is counted as original here.

Attempts

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

Frankie put the following sentence on a piece of paper and put it on the jelly: "The third law of thermodynamics means that the universe will eventually end through a phase of heat death, with all life and energy extinguished". As Greg determined it to be the heaviest thing on the jelly, Frankie received 5 points.
Ivo decided to encase the jelly with foam bricks before stacking bricks, a chopping board and six bananas on top. As he removed the support bricks, the jelly was crushed by the weight and it broke, so Ivo was disqualified from the task.
Jenny put a large plastic storage container over the jelly and sat on the container holding a table over her head. As Greg decided that Jenny was not on top of the jelly, she received just 1 point for not breaking the jelly.
Kiell started to stack items on the jelly before realising he should put everything on at the very last second, catching the items after the 10 minutes were up. He put 1,773g on the jelly, receiving 4 points.
Mae started to stack items on the jelly, attempting to evenly spread the weight, but ended up breaking the jelly. They were disqualified from the task.
