Baby!
- Say it! - Bomb!
Welcome to Stormester.
I’ve invited five celebrities to delve into problem solving -
- by solving tasks!
The five participants are: Jesper Groth!
Lise Baastrup!
Victor Lander!
Sarah Grünewald!
And Heino Hansen!
Gee, what? We are well on our way to halfway.
Another thing I enjoy.
Mark, you've had a tendency to do things -
- to get my attention. I'm glad you didn't.
You don't see it?
- Don't see what? - I got a haircut.
I did.
This shouldn’t be about you and your hair. It should be about the prize.
- Who brought in a prize? - Today it is Jesper.
Yes. You have to be motivated to win.
My brother will rip my head off if I don't get it back home.
It is a 22-year-old LEGO police station with all the gizmos.
Having the complete set is impressive.
- Why does it matter so much? - Because it belongs to both of us.
I didn’t ask and took it anyway.
We don't play with it -
- but it must lie there, gathering dust.
It's not just the police station that’s at stake.
They also fight for the title of the season's grand champion.
The winner gets this golden trophy with a crooked smile.
Should we get started? Mark, what do I always say to you?
- “Go to your room”? - Yes, and ...?
I say: You are on the seesaw to be fired.
Yes, that too.
I think we should start with a balancing task.
I understand now. Yes, yes!
- Is that a catapult? - Jesus Christ!
A catapult? No, what do you call it?
You need to go up, or vice versa? And then you make such a ...
Oh, God...
What should I do?
- There's a task. - Yes. Ah!
- "Balance Mark." - Where to balance?
- Up on this one? - Yes.
Assuming you have to sit there?
- Don't use people. - I don't use people, Mark.
"Mark must sit down only when you're done."
"Don't affect the seesaw after time is up."
"Best balanced Mark wins."
- You have 10 minutes. - Time starts now.
I don’t understand.
Damn it ...
There is something you must do and something you must not do.
They have to balance me on the seesaw.
They have 10 minutes to get the seesaw -
- to rest horizontally when I sit down on it.
No! Now I know what I should have done.
Let's throw ourselves into it. You can see Lise and Jesper.
- Yes. And you have to ... - I need to find some heavy stuff.
- Hi. Do you allow this? - Always.
I need something more. Hey.
It's brilliant.
Yes...
- Hi, Lise. - Hi, Mark. Try to let go a bit.
No!
- It's not waterproof? - It turns out it's not close.
- Oh! Can you remove the bike? - It made the outcome.
Just set it up before it runs out.
Yes.
- What do you think? - That’s it.
Mark weighs the same as a drum, a tool box and three dumbbells.
You would just need a couple of dumbbells ...
- Let's see how it went. - Yes.
- You ended up with the same result, right? - Yes. Failure.
An unbalanced Mark.
Did anyone do the task differently? Now it dawns on Lise.
- There is more than one way. - I can confirm.
Heino and Sarah.
- You're going up there? - Yes.
Go from there and up.
- You stand here. You can do that? - Yes.
- Do you dare? - Yes.
- What do you weigh, Mark? - 83 kilos.
Start walking. Then we’ll see what happens.
- Do you want to keep the time? - Yes.
- Gravel Direct. - This is Heino.
- Is this Gravel Direct? - Yes.
"Mark must first ..." Just stop!
Don’t affect the seesaw. Okay, so I have to crawl up?
- What does it say? - Don't use people.
After time has passed ... but I must do well now.
- Okay. So go. - Then I go.
How fast can you deliver 83 kilos of gravel?
83 kilos? That's less than what we ride out with.
1,000 kilos minimum.
Can you make an express delivery? I have enough money.
- Are you a little scared? - No, you?
Take small steps.
The gravel pit is in Lynge. You can pick it up yourself and get as much gravel as you want.
I'll call Lynge. They shouldn’t call themselves Gravel Direct.
It's Gravel Indirect. Self-fetching gravel.
Nothing’s happening.
- How much do you weigh? - 54 kilos.
- You have to go up there. - Yes.
Okay. Now I have it. Good, Mark.
"Balance Mark. Don't use people. Mark has to sit down when you're done."
Sit down.
Just straight down to sit.
Oh! Okay.
It still doesn't work. Where is Gravel Direct when you need them?
You are completely in balance. Goodbye.
Do I see an appreciative look between Heino and Jesper?
At least you have one thing in common that you didn't know before.
I looked at Sarah, but ...
You looked at Heino, Jesper.
- You called them too? - Yes, I ordered 1,000 kilos.
- How cute, Heino. You look at me. - I have full control of the panel.
In return, I haven't seen Lasse in a week.
It's a bit of fun, they call themselves Gravel Direct.
Fair enough that they have minimum deliveries.
Then they can call themselves Gravel Direct if you need a ton or more.
It-should-be-available.dk.
You sit on the seesaw.
You may not use people, but you did.
Yes.
- Should you say it, or me? - I'm disqualified again.
You are.
- But aren't you? - I didn't understand the task.
But you solved it well enough.
That's what I love to see. Well done!
- We're missing Victor Lander. - That’s correct.
Some people think he hides it well -
- but sometimes Victor is brilliant.
Look here, you!
Now let's see. Well, no. It doesn’t work.
This is where it should be!
- Put all the weight on. Like that. - Yes, yes.
- And then you go up there. - Okay.
You can. I’ll go in and get some food.
Creative use of the roller. Well done! There are no violations of the rules.
How does he compare to Sarah? They are close to leveling you.
It's a close race. Let's see the pictures.
Notice that Sarah is one centimeter better balanced.
Then we are ready to give points.
- How are they distributed? - Well, that's 5 points to Sarah!
Then there are 4 points for Victor Lander!
3 points for Lise and Jesper.
And ... yes, that's 0 points for Heino.
For everyone’s sake, we mix things up.
We just had a mechanical task.
- What about something artistic? - An artistic sprinkle?
- Yes, why not? - Received.
- Never put your fingers in there. - It's on.
- Now that’s random. - It came from the heart.
“Make a piece of art. Present it to the Taskmaster."
"Best art wins."
“You have eight weeks. Time starts now."
I’ll plug it in and start the machine.
Take care now!
- Shut up, man. Is it set to? - Yes.
I have taken the blender.
- Is it? - Marco Evaristti. [known for putting goldfish in a blender]
- I’ve done it. - What?
Blended a goldfish. You know me. I just had to try.
- Art is a comment on life. - I can't blend a goldfish.
There won't be me pushing. I shouldn't.
I'll see you in eight weeks!
You've had eight weeks, and you have to introduce me -
- to the best piece of art. I will also recognize -
- your performance. So, how did you go about the task?
Let's see what it has become. I'm excited! Where do we start?
- We could start with Heino’s. - We could start with mine.
Yes! I made a work of art.
It's called The Living Frog Cake. [named after a character in kid show Kaj & Andrea]
I have taken the characteristics from the frog cake -
- and made them mine.
I put a piece of green marzipan over my head and blinked my eyes.
Are there any museums that want it? So would the National Museum.
May I show how it went when the living frog cake was at a museum?
It's not so cool, but it can do something. It's up to Lasse.
Well, let's see it.
This!
Heino, with The Living Frog Cake ... are you aiming for the National Museum?
They said yes right away.
They could see a piece of art when they heard about it.
By the way, doesn’t the National Museum exhibit art?
No, it's beyond their ordinary limits -
- to exhibit food products.
But again, when they hear about a good piece of art ...
They have bent the rules for exhibiting my art piece.
I am very satisfied.
It lives up to the expectations I have for what good art can do.
It makes people ask questions.
There's a lot at stake. Well done, Heino.
Now we have to experience Sarah's artwork.
- Where's Sarah? - Under the rug.
- Should I just get started? - You've been running for 10 seconds.
No, what the hell?!
I thought about doing the same thing.
Good art makes people ask questions. It was excellent.
What the hell were you doing?
The artwork is called: Broken Dreams.
Not many pastas were broken.
Because dreams are rarely shattered. Because we have them forever.
These are the shattered dreams that lie there, all over spaghetti.
Thank you very much.
It was touching and a bit confusing. Who should we see now?
- Jesper. - Yes.
Experience art. I have struck a blow to get art out to the people.
I would like to see experience art in the squares in Denmark.
In this case, the artwork is a self-portrait.
What are you laughing at?
I've had eight weeks and have done my best!
I know, it looks like a cross between me and an iguana.
But next to it is this device.
Because there are many who don’t give the arts a chance.
"Art! Is it something to eat?"
Then it could be that Heino came by and thought of a joke.
"Lasse Rimmer makes many presentations. I like cold cuts best."
When you have gone and thought:
"It’s raining. I should probably see a drawing."
And so it doesn't look good enough. Then you can ... You are in the square.
"Now I can see that it is Jesper Groth."
Please, by the way. What do you think of the art?
I like cold cuts better.
Craft and a suggestion on how to lift people's experience -
- of an artistic work.
It is "for graps" in the municipal offices.
- What to do when the bar is raised? - Throw it at the artist.
See if it becomes a work in itself.
We are missing two. Which artist should we see next?
- I'm thinking Lise Baastrup. - Yes.
I have written a tribute to you as the Taskmaster.
But also written a tribute to you as Lasse -
- because we've known each other for a few years.
I'm a little nervous.
If I don't have to play guitar because then I get really nervous -
- then I asked my brother-in-law Gustav Wolter if he would help.
So here he comes. Gustav Wolter! [unsigned Danish guitarist]
- May I stand in your artwork? - Yes.
You stand like a lighthouse -
- in the dark night.
Like the cross on the map -
- that marks a treasure.
But who do you follow -
- when darkness subsides?
Who lights up for you?
Do you see what the others don’t see?
Do you see more sides of life than others here?
I hope and I want the wind to find its way -
- so everyone else can see you just like me.
Because you often throw the compass -
- yes, you defy the wind and the weather.
You have the starry sky above you -
- on the adventure.
When you look up -
- they’re drawing the way.
Do they blink down to you?
Do you see what the others don't see?
Do you see more sides of life than others here?
Because I hope and I wish -
- the wind finds its way.
- So everyone else can see you, just like me.
Does the fear blow against your cheek?
Is the wave for sails?
Then get up -
- against the harsh wind.
Yes, straighten up -
- so you can set sail.
Do you see what the others don't see?
Do you see more sides of life than others here?
Because I hope and I wish -
- the wind finds its way.
So everyone else can see you, just like me.
So everyone else ...
so everyone else can see you -
- just like me.
Just like me.
How nice.
I'm totally touched.
You've done two things. You have put your heart and effort into a work of art.
And made Victor Lander nervous.
- It's the most beautiful tribute. - It was so nice. Thank you.
It was also good when you sang it for Jonatan Spang's [comedian] wedding.
We need... I hardly dare say it.
- So ... - We're missing you, Victor.
I also wrote a song.
- I can't follow that. - Yes, you can.
Thank you.
Let’s imagine we weren’t touched by Lisa's beautiful song.
Let’s start with a blank page.
My artwork is also dedicated to you.
Like Heino, I also contacted a museum. State Museum of Art.
- Is that better? - I don’t know.
But yes...
It is with art that you cannot always see what the message is.
It’s a tribute to Lasse Rimmer.
If we take the next picture.
- Who made it? - Yes, that's nice.
Of course we are missing one. I can't forget you.
It took just over five hours while I was standing there ...
- Oh well... - It’s well made.
I didn't have to go to the bathroom. You could be pushed off the board.
Oh, damn it.
There are then five vastly different achievements.
It’s difficult to rank.
Let's start from the top. Regardless of the theme ... Lise, 5 points.
Is that right? Thanks.
What's going to ask questions? What is the world really?
Heino, 4 points!
I give Sarah 3 points because it made me ask questions.
I'm excited, Jesper Groth. 2 points.
I think the work is beautiful -
- but I can't give points to the artist who was responsible for it.
You, on the other hand, get 1 point.
Both Lise and Sarah are in the lead with 8 points!
I've laughed, been touched. Ranking art is difficult.
- What about a mouthful of fresh air? - A little picnic?
Yes, why not.
Hi, Heino!
Hey, doctor baby Mark.
- What are you doing out in the woods? - I've made the task simple.
Hi!
Are you moving?
Oh, damn it. Now I need to move something.
There are cardboard boxes and tape.
- Exciting! - No, hell.
"Make the tallest tower."
"You have five minutes from the time you assemble your first box."
"You have 20 minutes when time starts."
- Highest tower wins. - Time starts now.
- Five minutes. - Okay.
Then we have to collect boxes.
- Will you help me? - Of course.
I'm looking for the tallest tower.
Mark, is there anyone who missed a rule?
They have 20 minutes to complete the task. It’s a long time.
But when they choose to assemble the first box, they only have five minutes.
So you can use a quarter to set a strategy.
Take five minutes to execute. Does it make sense?
- 100%. - Now it does.
Yes, now it does.
- Do you want to see? - Anyone make a plan?
No. Someone who chooses to gather.
- I'm sorry to see. - Here it comes.
There must be a smarter way.
- It must be there! - You have 5 minutes from the first box.
What?! So shouldn't I have assembled the first box?
It must not crack.
- You have 2:20! - For the tower to be finished?
What's in the task?
- I shouldn't have started. - One minute!
Now I fuck the whole shit up!
Fuck!
- 20 seconds! - Yes.
Time’s up!
Uh ...
Uh ... it's just ...
Well, time is up.
I really wanted to do that! No! You should’ve measured it!
You should’ve measured it.
No...
What do we do now? Can't we cut that out?
It will be difficult. It's one of those that’s hard to cut.
Jesper, we'll get to you.
But, Sarah, how much is it a picture of your life?
I couldn’t sleep. I was so annoyed. I was happy with the tower.
But it was so satisfying to build something and so delicious. Onward!
Then I looked at Mark. "We should’ve measured it."
No, no, no.
We must hope you don’t win the LEGO castle.
Jesper, if I had arrived after you had assembled the first box -
- and watched you throw some tape into some branches ...
Would I have guessed that you were building a tower?
I had an idea that I would make one that you throw up.
I didn't want to fold the boxes.
They should sit on stickers and stay several feet tall.
But when I'm under time pressure, I can't read or think.
So what have we done? Sarah destroyed her tower.
So far Jesper doesn’t count because time ran out after the first box.
What are they listed for?
- Jesper’s is one box of 50cm. - Half a meter.
- So yes. - Yes.
Then there is the fact that you didn’t get to measure Sarah's tower.
What do we do there?
- Yeah, what do we do? - It’s okay.
If a box is 50cm, you can add it up.
Yes, if you add it up, it is just 2.7 meters.
- That's what Heino says. - Do you accept it?
You present the tower. Then you decide that you’re ready for something new.
It doesn't matter that much.
As Heino points out, we are able to add up. A total of 2.7 meters.
That is so sweet! Yes! Yes!
- Mark, do you have more? - Lise and Victor.
Five minutes from the first box.
So now we collect all the boxes in half.
This is not a finished box.
- It's just a big cup. - Okay.
You have to think outside the box.
Make the tallest tower.
I like the tasks where we have a long time.
We take and get the bottom closed.
It should go well!
Two boxes!
- How are you going to get the last ones up? - You need to get on my back.
- I'm afraid. - So am I.
I’ll hold the tower.
Then there's a party, Mark! It is simply a wooden tower!
With decorative cardboard box.
Come on!
- It's on! - Is it on? Yes!
Victory!
Victor, you made the tallest human tower.
You look like two seven-year-olds trying to get into a halbal [party].
We're just missing the long coat.
We have to argue about what is a box and what is a cup.
No, because there's a hole in the top. Ergo, cup.
- Can't open a box? - No! It can't.
I've been put in boxes all my life.
Had it been a cup, I could jump out.
Had there been a hole in the top, I would have jumped out.
I couldn't because it was a closed box.
Lise, what are you up to? You end up with La Marseillaise.
It was our little Eiffel Tower we had out there.
I also thought the box wasn’t finished folding.
And didn’t it say the tower should be made of cardboard boxes?
- No, it's not, right? - No.
- They are available. So approved. - Smart, man.
Four out of five participants. How many boxes did Heino stack?
Cardboard is not necessarily ... It's better if you just see it.
“Tallest tower wins."
Yes.
Do we agree that it is cracked?
It is broken. I’ll make it.
It's hard to disagree that I just made the Rundetårn. [17th-century tower in Copenhagen]
- It's a tall tower. - Can you have it?
- I'm going straight up. Do you want to? - Yes.
The task doesn't really say: Build the tallest tower.
It says: Make the tallest tower.
You went to the Rundetårn -
- less than 20 minutes away and make the tower.
I've made ladies without building with cardboard.
But we reached it.
Did you reach it in 20 minutes?
Does Lasse look like someone who wouldn't disqualify me?
It's impressive.
If the Rundetårn were mine and I had called a craftsman -
- I would have sent the invoice back in your head.
You shoot for the stars and hit the galaxy.
This might be the only time I do so this season.
One word makes the difference.
Make, not build, the tallest tower. Let's get some results.
1 point to Jesper. 2 points to Sarah.
3 points for Victor. 4 points to Lise, and 5 points for Heino!
- The scores? - Lise is in the lead with 12 points.
I think it's evolving into a magical night.
- Do you have an enchanting task? - Here it comes.
How did you do that?
- No?! - Yes.
It’s the world of magic. I’m fascinated by that.
- Learn to conjure. - Hi, Nussi. Hi, Ninkaninus.
Hey.
I hate magic.
- What?! - Magic.
I get up and leave when someone spells on me.
- Make the best magic. - No ...
- 20 minutes of preparation. - And one attempt to perform.
- Best magician wins. - Time starts now.
Is that a rabbit? I hadn't seen it.
Hello?
Come here, Birger. Don’t be afraid.
- I've had a chinchilla. - What happened?
It was enchanted by a veterinarian with a syringe.
It's magic.
- Do you know anyone who is good? - No, only Rune Klan. [comedian-magician]
Rune's number? He doesn't know how I feel about magic.
Oops! What the heck? No, we have to.
Let's see how they got started.
Let's start with Sarah plus ...
... the help of one of Denmark's most talented magicians.
- What will happen? - I'm calling Rune Klan.
- Hi. Am I disturbing you? - I don't know who this is.
- It's Sarah. Grüneren. - What? I don't have your number.
I'm on Stormester, and I have to conjure.
I can't figure that out.
- Fuck! - Yeah, fuck.
I have a live rabbit.
Do you have a quick idea?
Pull the rabbit out from a hat or box.
- Hide [gem] an egg in your hand. - Squeeze [klem] an egg?
No, hide an egg in your hand.
Fuck!
With the hand that hides the egg -
- you put it in your ass and pull an egg out of it.
So say, "Well, then the rabbit came first."
Which came first? The hare or the egg? Or the rabbit?
You forgot the wand in the hair bun, so you couldn’t put your hat on.
Instead of hiding the egg in your hand -
- you just shouted, "There’s an egg in the hat too!"
The magic is: "There’s a rabbit and an egg in my hat."
Ta-da!
It was an entertaining feature.
There are four more of these. Give me another one.
Magical Madam Baastrup!
Yes. God.
- Will you lift me? - Yes, yes.
Ready?
- The assistant is half the act. - There he is.
Mark seemed incredibly surprised. You played skillfully. Were you surprised?
- Acting. - Well then.
It's no small illusion. Something happened. I am entertained.
- Let's see another one. - I have something with magic dough.
- It might be great. - What will happen?
We have to bake.
One shouldn’t stir the batter.
- It has to develop. - Yes.
- Are you ready? Dough [dej-]five! - Yes.
Then it has to be baked!
Pretty crazy.
- It gets very close to the sun. - Then it's almost baked.
Shut up, Heino!
Yes, it's baked!
Thanks for the bread. Should I keep it the rest of the program, Heino?
Can you guess how he did it?
So shut up!
Does it matter, I whistle a little at it?
Yes, if you tell how to yeast.
- Heino, you're a trained baker. - Yes. We used other methods.
- I want to see the next one. - I can give you the magic boys.
Victor and Jesper!
Bonjour!
Assistant!
Sorry, will you?
My assistant Edgar will now conjure up a magic card.
You have a firefly in your pocket. I want to spell it out of your pocket -
- out through this rabbit.
- Can you see something in your pocket? - What card did you choose?
Edgar! No, is that the card you want?
Edgar has chosen this card.
You will be allowed today. Yes...
Would you say abracadabra six times?
Abracadabra ...
Look at the card. Show it to the audience. The card in your hand is ...
King of spades!
No.
Do you want to ... Yes, this is it.
Abracadabra ...
- Not the rabbit's fault! - No!
I've got all that mouthing on and then it doesn't work!
What?!
Ta-da!
Abracadabra!
Did it look right?
This isn’t the first time you have acted as a magician.
No, and where's the firefly now?
I have hidden it in Lise. Here it is!
Oops! God! There it was again.
And I can stay that way.
Victor, I can guess how the rabbit chose it briefly.
But that was the wrong card.
Yes? So, you thought it was the king of spades.
- It was the 7 of diamonds. - I thought it was the king of spades.
- Now? - And then it was spades ... no, 7 of diamonds.
I'm distributing points now. Sarah, I give 1 point.
- It's alright. - To show us a rabbit and an egg.
I liked the moment, Lise. But it's more the edit -
- than it is the artist.
So is Mark's virtue.
I wasn't good. I understand.
I can guess how that happens.
But good showmanship. Victor, you get 3 points.
There is some technique, which I reward with 4 points, Jesper.
I have no idea where the dough disappeared. What was going on?
That alone is enough. Heino Hansen, 5 points!
- The overall scores? - It's a tie.
14 points for both Heino and Lise.
Jesper, I hope you have an apology for your brother.
It looks like the police station is finding a new home. But where?
We are missing one task. It plays live on stage, right now.
Mark, we're ready! Who reads the task aloud?
- Heino should be allowed to. - I would like to.
Good to hear.
"Make the longest sound. Bonus point for the best."
The sound must come from yourselves. Make the longest continuous sound.
So that the others can’t hear how long each sound was made -
- I must ask ... Let's start with Heino.
So if you want to wear your earplugs and the little screen for your eyes.
Longest continuous sound gets a bonus point.
- First participant! - We'll start with you, Heino.
I hit you. You hit the next one and you have to go all the way around.
- Ouch! - More slowly!
Well ... do you know what “continuous” means?
You started a punishment chain.
Among innocents where no one has done anything.
- Shh! - The sound stops!
- There's a break in between! - Yes, in between, but everything is a sound.
Is there a sound now? Ouch!
- Ouch. - There was a break then!
You are listed for a sound of less than a second.
Sarah! You might want to take it off.
So. And take a step forward.
Your sound starts now!
Fine!
Hi, Victor! Take them off completely. Take a small step forward.
Make the longest continuous sound you can.
Start now!
It stopped a long time ago!
I hope you think it was all worth it!
I should have new pants anyway.
- It's going to be a cold trip home. - Fuck!
Your turn. Take a step forward. Time starts now!
- Have you ruined your pants? - I did the same thing, just harder.
- Should we just take a minute? - You have to consider that.
- A minute. - We'll stop here.
Jesper Groth?!
- What? - You might want to take those off.
You have to look now?
Then the humiliation is total.
Should I take it there?
Make the longest continuous sound you can produce.
Time starts now!
- I have stopped! - No!
I'd travel 20 kilometers to hear you perform that sound.
I give a bonus point -
- even before we look at who made the longest.
- How are the points distributed? - 1 point to Heino with one second!
2 points to Victor with three seconds.
3 points to Jesper for six seconds. Plus a bonus point.
- 4 points to Sarah with 17 seconds! - How nice!
5 points to Lise with one minute and five seconds.
Mark Le Fevre, who has won the Brothers Groth police station?
- Lise Baastrup has it! - God? No!
Have we learned anything? Maybe if you discover at a museum -
- The Living Frog Cake, you might be friends with Heino Hansen.
Thanks for tonight!
