Performance[]

John Robins: John chose the chopping board in the room as the first thing on his mind. He initially tried it with only blue tack but then attempted to make a paste with the flour and honey. On his first attempt, the chopping board stuck for only 29 seconds before falling off, and on the second attempt, it was only 20 seconds. For failing to stick his chosen item to the board for a minute, he was disqualified from the task.
Nick Mohammed: Nick decided to stick a 2L water bottle with silicon, velcro, and styling gel. However, because he failed to stick the bottle by covering it with his sock and a mixture of the two gels, he decided to stick his sock with velcro later on. Because he changed his object, he was disqualified from the task.
Sophie Willan: Sophie decided to stick a decorative star she found in the hallway with velcro and sellotape, and put toffees around it. The star weighed 3.3 kilograms, and stayed on for the full minute. She received 5 points.
Steve Pemberton: Steve decided to stick a David statue with blue tack, sellotape, and toffees. The statue successfully stuck on the wall by using blue tack and one toffee for the minute, and fell off immediately after the minute passed. The statue weighed 713 grams, so he received 4 points.
