Attempts

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

  • Frankie brought in the book cover for the fake book Harry Potter and the Kung Fu Death Cult that he claims he uses to trick his kids into being read the less exciting book Orlando's Seaside Holiday, to get them to sleep. He received 4 points.
  • Ivo brought in a box made to look like the Oxford English Dictionary containing a Pearson's Mini Dictionary. He received 2 points.
  • Jenny brought in a dog mask with her book The Writing On The Wall hidden behind it, sneaking it onto the show to give it publicity. She received 4 points.
  • Kiell brought in a pen which he got Greg to sign a piece of paper saying "Well done for your five points", telling Greg that it was for someone named 'Tseikna Engsith', for doing well on a test. It was then revealed that the pen Greg used was a spy pen and had recorded Greg reading the sentence out loud. It was also revealed that 'Tseikna Engsith' is an anagram of 'Sneakiest thing'. He received 5 points.
  • Mae brought in a knock-knock joke, with parts of the punchline hidden in people's pockets: "Mae" in Greg's pocket, "Pinhead" in Kiell's pocket, and "Martin" in Ivo's pocket. They also got Alex's wife to mail them two of Alex's socks, which they were wearing in the studio. They received 4 points.
