Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- James worked out the length of 4 beans with his fingers, then measured the caravan with his fingers, coming up with an answer of 700 baked beans.
- Jessica counted as she moved a bean around two sides of the caravan, eventually writing on the window in bean juice to calculate an answer of 689 baked beans.
- Kerry worked out 15 beans fit between her thumb and her pinky, then measured the caravan with her fingers, calculating with mental maths an answer of 750 baked beans.
- Phil spilt a can of beans around the caravan, claiming the caravan's circumference would be 4 cans of beans or 400 baked beans.
- Rhod used a tape measure to measure the circumference of the caravan and the length of one baked bean, using a calculator to work out that the perimeter of the caravan would be 1,275 baked beans. However, his answer was way out because he didn't take into account the sauce on a bean, when taking his mean bean measurement.
