Attempts

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

  • Iain wrapped the eraser it in loo roll and flushed it down the toilet, 'erasing' it in 20 seconds.
  • Joe initially broke it into two pieces, then rubbed it against sandpaper, eventually disposing of the rubbings outside in 19 minutes and 32 seconds. He was initially awarded just one point but, after viewing Iain and Paul flushing their erasers down the toilet, ranted about how he was fed up about such "wanky workarounds". As a result, he received 3 bonus points for being the only one to completely erase the eraser.
  • Lou initially tried eating the eraser, but gave up and ended up flushing the remains down the toilet after 2 minutes and 50 seconds. She received one bonus point for attempting to eat it.
  • Paul wrapped the eraser in loo roll and flushed it down the toilet, 'erasing' it in 34 seconds.
  • Sian initially tried rubbing the eraser against the table, before deciding to set fire to it. After the fire did not do anything, Sian threw it into a bush. As Alex could not find the eraser, Greg accepted that it had been erased after 9 minutes and 40 seconds.
