1 00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:00,506 _ 2 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,480 In the previous episode really hit it off… 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:10,680 - Watch out! - ...when nine hopeful Mythbusters... 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,480 - ...competed for the job of a lifetime. - It worked! 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,680 All were skilled at detonation decoration. 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,680 - But Ben went out. - A fantastic experience. 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,560 This week it's about holding floating with a sea myth- 8 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:44,760 - when the eight remaining participants testing the robber story- 9 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:52,160 - about being able to make a boat of cardboard only. 10 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,080 Tamara. Stop! Stop, Tamara! 11 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,040 Then we'll see if it works when we test a Hollywood myth. 12 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,800 And unfortunately it won't be the only one ammunition being fired. 13 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,680 - Boxes. - We're going to build a hut. 14 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440 Welcome. Just like last week- 15 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,200 - should you test two myths yourself and one in law. 16 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaking of teams. - Allen and Jon, can you switch places? 17 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,360 Jon, that side is the red team. - Allen, that side is the blue team. 18 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Your team myth is about something almost as legendary as duct tape. 19 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,320 Cardboard. The myth of that you can build a cardboard boat. 20 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,000 I usually use common materials in unusual ways. It suits me. 21 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,840 If I go out this week I will be super disappointed. 22 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,560 We don't want a flimsy canoe. 23 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,280 No, each team must build a boat that all four team members can fit in. 24 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,280 And then you have to win a water race. 25 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,080 Cardboard breaks when it gets wet. Build a boat! This is going to be fun. 26 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,000 The only materials you have are cardboard, glue and varnish. 27 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,640 - And then there is a small grumble. - Do we have to be small? 28 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,720 We don't want to that the laws must have the same design. 29 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:36,040 In one team, you must sit in a row. In the other team, you sit two by two. 30 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Hackett, because you were the best last week you get to choose the design. 31 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,360 - The canoe, the canoe. - Okay. The canoe. 32 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,800 It was quick. Blue team: in a row. Red team: two and two. 33 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,800 In four days we will test if they are seaworthy. Get started and work! 34 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,960 Mythbusters has a long history of building boats from odd materials. 35 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280 So like duct tape- 36 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,760 - raincoats and pykrete, which consists of newspapers and ice. 37 00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,400 I like the material. 38 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,760 - They said the myth was credible. - I am the king of the world! 39 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:28,440 But pykrete is stronger than cardboard. 40 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,800 My super pykrete really is super pykrete Almost indestructible. 41 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,960 Can they really build a boat out of anything? that gets destroyed when it gets wet? 42 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:54,040 In the programme's biggest boat race should they compete in a 460-meter race. 43 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,800 Both teams will start brainstorming ideas. 44 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,920 Okay. Does anyone have boat experience? 45 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,360 The blue team already has the upper hand. Martin is an old sea bear. 46 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,040 I take whatever is at hand. I have built a kayak out of timber. 47 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,840 I have built kayaks and boats for almost twenty years. 48 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,800 It will be easy to design but difficult to manufacture from cardboard. 49 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,680 But the blue team's streamlined design should go faster. 50 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,960 And compared to the wide need the bottom is not stabilized as hard. 51 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,800 We can divide it into two tasks. Design: you two. 52 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,960 And we can work on to put it together. 53 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,720 Either the seats have to or themselves the boat go in the direction of the cardboard fiber. 54 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,600 - It must be able to hold 360 kg! - Yes. 55 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Cardboard boat! Then we drive! 56 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,600 The challenge is even more difficult for the red team. 57 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,360 Their nautical knowledge is very superficial. 58 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,240 This is corrugated cardboard, so it will be hard to seal the edges. 59 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:22,160 I think we should have small ones hand paddles and use the arms. 60 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,560 So that the paddles don't break. 61 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,400 Soon the red team has agreed on the design. 62 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,200 We have a simple design. We are not going to reinvent the boat. 63 00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,080 It will be a dinghy, with two important details. 64 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,360 Does the cardboard hold together at the joints? 65 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,200 And can we make it waterproof? 66 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,000 - Now we are building a boat! - On a small scale! 67 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,280 They seek answers to two questions and testing on a small scale. 68 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,200 Among other things, they will test with weights representing the crew. 69 00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:01,720 I have figured out what it the small-scale boat can withstand, only 1.69 kg. 70 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:07,080 The small tub is glued together before they launch it into the test tank. 71 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640 At least Jon is hopeful. 72 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:16,400 The myth is so beautifully simple: cardboard, boat, don't sink, win. 73 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,400 You stick with that mantra themselves liquid. Or not. 74 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,320 She sinks. 75 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,200 It sinks because it is made from a single sheet of cardboard. 76 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,240 They need a bigger boat with many more layers. 77 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:44,520 - We get to build a quartz model. - Then we start on the new boat! 78 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,800 The myth is intriguing for two reasons. For the first is the typical Mythbuster. 79 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,760 Good materials are used in an unexpected way. 80 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Second: The first myths included a lot of mechanical engineering. 81 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:08,640 But this myth is about design, ingenuity and a bit of luck. 82 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,000 And we haven't really seen that with them the participants yet. It will be exciting. 83 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,000 The blue team is not done with the mat. 84 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,720 But they have a more complicated plan than the red team. 85 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,320 It is a narrow canoe, so stability becomes an issue. 86 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,400 We must have floats of some kind so that we don't capsize when we row. 87 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800 But the floats will have to wait until the big building. 88 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Now they want to see about the glue holding the boat together- 89 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:46,760 - and keeps the water out. Now they go to the tank with a glued canoe. 90 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,840 - Now it applies. First test. - Look how quickly it sank! 91 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,280 - Shall we race to the bottom? - Yes! 92 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,520 Allen salvages the boat, and it's not just bad news. 93 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,160 It breaks at the grooves. 94 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,160 The glued pieces are stable. 95 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,520 - Just as we wanted. - It was good. 96 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,480 We try to seal with the glue over the whole boat. 97 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,560 It was just the unglued cardboard which gave way to the water. 98 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120 And that instills a sense of hope. 99 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,480 We make another model, iron on glue all over the boat and see how it goes. 100 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,400 - Then we'll see how it goes. - It floats! 101 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,720 A little longer than the first test. 102 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,400 It doesn't seem to take in water. 103 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,560 It has been here for an hour. If man looking inside you see no water. 104 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,720 We can take it up. We don't paddle further than that. 105 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,400 While the blue team seems safe on its glue-and-cardboard combination- 106 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,840 - the reds behave not as a team at all. 107 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,840 Jason builds a porous base to strengthen the floor of the boat. 108 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,800 The boat is coming to become much stronger then. 109 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:16,560 Meanwhile, his shipmates have slightly changed the hull. 110 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,440 This model is more traditional. 111 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Here is the boat's keel, with ribs. Then we put in pieces of cardboard. 112 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,160 Look. It looks amazing. 113 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,960 Now Jason is back on deck and does not recognize the quartz model. 114 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,720 He is not happy. 115 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,400 Instead of a boat we build a professional canoe. 116 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,680 If it is flat in front and flat sides- 117 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,960 - then it will be strong enough. 118 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,760 It doesn't have to be bent, we can't seal that. 119 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,040 The eight remaining participants compete- 120 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,280 - about a price that would change their lives: becoming a Mythbuster. 121 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,880 To win, they must test the myth- 122 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,760 - about being able to build a boat that floats off cardboard. 123 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:28,000 The blue team seems to have wind in its sails- 124 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120 -but the red has a headwind. 125 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:39,720 This morning it felt like we were agreed, but it certainly wasn't like that. 126 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,200 They agreed on a dinghy with flat bottom. 127 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,240 But this looks more like one rowing boat. And Jason is not happy. 128 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,080 It's great. You are professional boat builders. 129 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,080 But it has taken a whole day to make a small-scale boat. 130 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,360 But according to product developer Jon it was time well spent. 131 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,520 The second model is stable. A strong model. 132 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,800 If it doesn't collapse into the water- 133 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,080 - it will be a good basis for us. 134 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:20,520 After plenty of varnish leaves the quartz model down in the bath. 135 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,440 - Should it be in front? - There, yes. 136 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,320 It is important to see where we can sit. 137 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,360 - It will capsize soon. - Now then! 138 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Blame the weights that slipped, not on the design. But... 139 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,720 We check if it holds tight. 140 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,960 - It's a good test. - It was my fault. 141 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Because the building does not last it's going back to the drawing board. 142 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,520 - What did we learn from the test? - Flat bottom is easier to build. 143 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,440 - We are building a boat with a flat bottom. - Absolutely. 144 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,560 The red team has finished testing. What have they learned? 145 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,720 The first one wasn't strong enough, and the other was too complicated. 146 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,560 Now that they are going to build on a real scale they don't have... much to go on. 147 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,120 And they are already behind the blue ones. 148 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,960 But the blue team is putting something together which looks very suspiciously like wood. 149 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,840 It looks like we're cheating. 150 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,320 But I promise it's just the form. 151 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:45,600 We put in the cardboard pieces and glue put them together so they get a nice shape. 152 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,920 And then we get an even and nice joint for each part. 153 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,960 They may not use wood for the boat, but the blue ones have wood in their heads. 154 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:04,840 We will recreate wood from cardboard and laminate as a boat builder. 155 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:11,120 You take two pieces of cardboard and place them a piece in between that joins them together. 156 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,600 The lamination process should lead to something resembling barriers. 157 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,480 Martin will use three of these as an outlaw. 158 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,760 But are they strong enough? 159 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,720 Stop! Tamara, stop! 160 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,040 Think I would benefit of my gymnastics clothes! 161 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,400 That way I could prove that we have enough strength to win. 162 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:44,760 The red team is left on dry land, but they have a plan. Probably. 163 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,960 We will make a completely ordinary dinghy. 164 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,080 Square with a slight slope there forward. Easier to build and faster. 165 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,320 We use thick cardboard. The dinghy is starting to take shape. 166 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,800 But after a whole morning's work see it still looks like a moving box. 167 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,400 Both teams build "al fresco". 168 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,200 Now it fits to bring in our guest judge. 169 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,720 Take out the life jackets. 170 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,680 Mike Kazak is a boat building expert at the California Maritime Academy. 171 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Saying he knows boats is an understatement. 172 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,040 The shape is quite impressive. 173 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,640 It's a good idea to be able to assemble it properly. 174 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,360 After viewing both builds is Mike's well balanced opinion unexpected. 175 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,200 Mike, you've seen both builds. Which one are you betting on? 176 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,520 - I would probably say the red team. - Why? 177 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,040 They have thought of both longitudinal and lateral strength. 178 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,240 Can they just keep the water out then I think they win. 179 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480 The blue team has taken on too much. 180 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,040 Time will tell if the blue team's fancy boat turns into a wreck. 181 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,280 The second boat building day is over. 182 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,400 The next morning they abandon the schooner to test the next myth. 183 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,320 Welcome to Richmond Rod and Gun, where your second myth will take place. 184 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,680 And welcome to our guest judge, gun expert, Travis Tomasie. 185 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Those of you who usually watch may remember Travis' gun skill. 186 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,880 He has helped with several classic weapon myths in "Mythbusters". 187 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,880 - What time did he get? - 17 seconds. 188 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,480 17 seconds! Absolutely incredible! 189 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:02,120 He confirmed, among other things, Hollywood- the myth of lightning-fast magazine changes. 190 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,920 We have taken something from the world of film and improved it. Awesome! 191 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,200 But today you will test a fairly recent Hollywood myth- 192 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,640 - about when good meets evil with only hearing as an aid. 193 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,840 We've all seen it on film. 194 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:29,280 The hero sees the villain, and suddenly the light goes out. 195 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:36,160 He fires a few shots blindly to the sound of the villain fleeing. 196 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,920 But is it really possible? 197 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,400 To find out, Travis learns all how to handle the weapon. 198 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,440 Some feel at home... 199 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,040 Exciting. I like to shoot. 200 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,680 It will be interesting to see how good I am without seeing. 201 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,960 ...while others admit that they are no John Wayne. 202 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,440 It's the second time I have touched a weapon. 203 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:07,440 - Good shot. - I love this weapon! 204 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:14,520 Soon: Ammo and blindfold. What could go wrong? 205 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280 I don't know if I hit something. 206 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,360 We have investigated more than 80 weapon myths. 207 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,440 And gunfire always has been important to "Mythbusters". 208 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Today we are going to test a movie myth and also our participants. 209 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:55,160 A Hollywood myth. The good one shoots using hearing alone. 210 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,600 We have eight hopeful Mythbusters who will be allowed to fire three shots. 211 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,600 And then we'll see how good they are. 212 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,120 As a Mythbuster you have to be good at shooting. 213 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,800 When it's time for one to go out can it depends on how good they are here. 214 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,200 When shooting blindly is required special precautions. 215 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,840 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the security position. 216 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,840 Come forward and stretch out your arms through the opening. 217 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,000 As you can see, the position limits your movements for security reasons. 218 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,320 In that way can't you shoot the film crew. 219 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,440 And that's good, because some of them are a little nervous. 220 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,560 Getting a handgun when blindfolded 221 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,640 -doesn't feel completely comfortable. 222 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,080 I don't think it's going so well. 223 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,680 It's like getting a rattlesnake wear every day. "Solve that one!" 224 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,920 But today's test is actually quite simple. 225 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,840 All participants have to wait their turn here. 226 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,040 Then they are blindfolded and is led out onto the test area. 227 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,440 Here I have six switches. Three for lights and three for sound. 228 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480 The lights sit on top of the goal boards so that we- 229 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,760 - know which targets participants should aim for and not. 230 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,840 And each target has a sound. 231 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,120 This is the signal that says where to aim. 232 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,960 They have tried on three. Then we examine the myth. 233 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Today, they do not need to cooperate. 234 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,640 Each sniper must fend for himself, and Allen's first turn. 235 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,960 Where is the piñata? 236 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,040 - You shouldn't spin me. - No, not with a weapon. 237 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,080 Okay. Now you get the weapon. 238 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:59,320 It doesn't feel comfortable to get one loaded weapon while blindfolded. 239 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,080 Allen is gathered… 240 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,960 ...controlled... 241 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,360 ...and stupid. Every time Allen turns towards the sound… 242 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320 ...he just hits the ground. 243 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,440 Crikey! I can't have hit anything! 244 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,520 Jons puts his trust in biology. 245 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,200 We don't have ears on our foreheads because we hear in stereo. 246 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,240 So we can pick up where sound is coming from is coming. It should work. 247 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,240 Now you get the gun. It is secured. 248 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,080 - Did I hit something? - Unfortunately not, mate. 249 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520 Maybe Brian from Texas can score a hit. 250 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,560 It feels okay. I'm used to guns. 251 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,280 I have practiced a lot. And once I flew a plane blindfolded. 252 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:06,800 This is just another challenge. 253 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,320 We have to assume that the airplane thing went better. 254 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,040 But Brian doesn't think so that the threat was horizontal. 255 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:25,400 You could hear which way it was but not at what height. 256 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,800 Brian is right. They all aim for the sound- 257 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,600 - but all blows in the hill shows that they shoot too low. 258 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,640 They misjudge the distance. 259 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,840 No one has met yet. 260 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,880 Tracy admits she doesn't feels as at home as the others. 261 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,240 - Are you ready? - Wait a minute. Wait. 262 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Do you know where your thumb is? This one going backwards, so you should hold here. 263 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,920 Sorry, she was going to be hurt in the thumb otherwise. 264 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,760 Once she's done shoots Tracy like a pro. 265 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080 But she doesn't finish as one. 266 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Wait for Travis, please! 267 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,120 Tamara, Hackett and Martin spreads the lead. 268 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,120 All localized the electronic beep. 269 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,080 - Did I meet someone? - It's not easy. 270 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,720 But the targets are intact. 271 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,960 It couldn't have gone any worse. 272 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,040 Now it all depends on Jason. 273 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,600 But the weapon catches up after the first shot. 274 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,760 - Has it caught on? - Yes. 275 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Travis reloads the gun. 276 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,280 - You get it back, secured. - Okay. 277 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:57,000 Jason fires once more. 278 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,040 Then it clicks again. 279 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,240 It's either bad luck or bad luck. 280 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,680 Jason has shot clear. He hit nothing. 281 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,800 And it was the last chance to confirm the myth. 282 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,720 Jon gets the assignment to speak for everyone. 283 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,440 Maybe if I was torpedoed, but as someone who is just testing a little- 284 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,640 - is almost impossible. 285 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,920 Good thing everyone has all their fingers. 286 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,480 Now for the results about the myth. The myth was- 287 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,600 - that the good could meet it evil by means of hearing alone. 288 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,880 And that myth is shattered. Completely crushed. 289 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Nobody hit anything. Therefore, we must assess your 290 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:56,400 - for something other than accuracy. Performance. That's for Travis to judge. 291 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:03,320 The top two contestants, considering form, grip and thorough execution- 292 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,200 - and who listened properly on the directives were Martin and Brian. 293 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,920 And now the bad news. 294 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,760 None hit the target- 295 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,760 - but some underperformed, especially Jason. 296 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,960 His grip caught the weapon to hook up twice. 297 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,960 And Tracy. She didn't handle the weapon completely safe. 298 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,400 Wait for Travis, please! 299 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,840 If I may guess they are probably the worst. 300 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,800 They can add the withers because they are on the same team- 301 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,440 -when they have to build a cardboard boat. 302 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,640 When the Mythbusters go out on the lake- 303 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,160 - is that a good idea to warn the maritime rescue. 304 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,720 No one has ever sailed away with anything which can turn into mush. 305 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,040 We use steel wire as scaffolding to tape the silver tape on. 306 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960 What a life! 307 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,640 It's the third boat builder's day- 308 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:26,080 - and the red team is struggling with something which should have become a light dinghy. 309 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,880 It looks messy, but it is science. 310 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,760 The most important thing is that the boat is waterproof. 311 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,560 So we take the pulp we have left and mixes it with glue- 312 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,560 - to create a durable and hopefully waterproof mix. 313 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,400 While Brian and Jon trying to stay afloat- 314 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,920 - has Jason and Tracy updated the propulsion. 315 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,920 I build giant paddle wheels which should act as a propeller. 316 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:06,680 We have paddles, a center pole and two who pedal like crazy. 317 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,360 It's our secret weapon. 318 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,160 Even secretly from Jon and Brian. 319 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720 One done, only 39 to go. 320 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,520 And as extra pressure time is running out. 321 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,160 Hope the boats go well. There are only four hours left. 322 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:34,880 The blue team has taken up their boat out of shape and everyone is on deck. 323 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:42,320 Time is almost up, so everyone on the team do your best for us to win. 324 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,520 Do you remember the unsinkable Titanic? who ran into an iceberg? 325 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,440 The iceberg tore the ship apart. The water filled a ward- 326 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,480 - and spilled over to the next. Until it sank. 327 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,200 This one might look like having the same problem. No! 328 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,360 When we take these form boards out the shots will go to the roof. 329 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,120 We have learned a lesson from the Titanic. 330 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,360 For a smooth hull, Hackett has wrapped the boat in thin cardboard skin. 331 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,560 For skinning it will be the best to use cardboard paper. 332 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,400 I separate the cardboard by delamination. 333 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,400 When the boat is covered installing those outriggers. 334 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,840 They should sit at the ends of the planks. 335 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,560 But then they have to punch four holes in the boat. 336 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,280 Hope the posts fit properly. 337 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,680 - Look! A boat! - Awesome! 338 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,880 But for the red team- 339 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680 -it's a little wobbly. 340 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,680 If the paddle wheel does not work they have to cut holes in the hull 341 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,000 Good. It is 80 cm. 342 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,720 Now it's Jon going out into deep water. 343 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,320 Holes are not good for boats. You know not where the water will be- 344 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,680 - or if the paddle will work. You risk sinking the ship. 345 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,360 Jon and I have struggled to build the boat. 346 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,440 Jason and Tracy been working on a paddle wheel- 347 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,000 - where the technology does not work. It won't move. 348 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,040 To avoid mutiny, Jason joins on going back to plan a. 349 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,840 Simple cardboard years. But he must hurry. 350 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,880 Time to fine tune, because you only have 30 minutes left. 351 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440 30 minutes left to build! 352 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,360 The blue team has already made waves and put there outriggers. 353 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,280 - Good job, you hear! - It's a boat. 354 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,760 Now Allen gets to show off his artistic side. 355 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,120 If we are to stay afloat must we honor- 356 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,600 - an ancient monster who lives on the bottom of the lake - Muthulu. 357 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:14,800 Because it is better to row to a drum, Tamara has made one. 358 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,440 It would be a shame if it survives. 359 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Okay, everyone. Now the time is up. Put down the tools. 360 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,120 - We made it! - Time to rest. 361 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,440 Jason and Tracy are done with the wheel and oars. 362 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:38,120 But they didn't have time to waterproof all. And the boat... 363 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,480 We don't have time to put up extra walls. 364 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,480 It will be as it will be. At least it's a boat. 365 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,720 At least Brian is convinced. 366 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,400 It looks like a race between a marmot and a greyhound. 367 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,640 - Lift on three. One, two, three! - It's not that bad. 368 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,280 I wouldn't want to run 20 meters with it, but... 369 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,520 - Easier than I thought. - Hackett and I can help. 370 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,920 - With Tamara in the boat, it becomes double so heavy. - It's a compliment. 371 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,960 - You thought I was being teased! - It's probably not that easy. 372 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,280 The boat is great. It looks as if it could withstand a Viking battle. 373 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,240 The boat is asbra, and that's thanks to Martin. 374 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,880 He was the one who said we should do like this. "Okay, Captain Martin." 375 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,880 Soon they go to the lake to shatter or confirm the myth. 376 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,120 The red team goes in first. 377 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,480 And then we'll see who gets to walk the plank. 378 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,600 One of you was missing two key Mythbusters properties. 379 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:01,200 It's time for the cardboard regatta. Now we will see if the myth is watertight. 380 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,960 Was looking forward to being on the lake. - not in it. 381 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Now it strikes me that we have a cardboard boat, I'm a little nervous. 382 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,400 Moreover, they know that one of them will end up as fish food. 383 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,800 We are all worried about going out. Any of us can smoke. 384 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,720 Welcome to the test day. 385 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:34,080 It is on this lake that we will see if the myth and your boats are watertight. 386 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:40,440 The theme of our boat is vikings and Muthulu, our figurehead. 387 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,960 And so I made a helmet who is half viking, half god. 388 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,640 The boats are 20 meters from the water. 389 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,840 When I say so, you may begin pull the boats to the water. 390 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,120 Then you can paddle like crazy around the buoys. 391 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,160 But first, Mike and I will check the boats- 392 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,120 - so that they are not completely catastrophic. 393 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,520 Mike, what do you think? about the reds product? 394 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,720 It seems like there might be a problem with the seal on the outside. 395 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,600 And the oars look fragile. 396 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,000 - The finished product of the blue team. - It's too complicated. 397 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,120 I think they are having trouble rowing with the floats so close together. 398 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,520 But the blue team gets style points. 399 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,760 They have a Muthulu and a drum. 400 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,280 Muthulu - elegant. But I had ignored the drum. 401 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,880 What do you think of the red wheel? 402 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,320 I had thrown the paddle wheel before I even got down to the water. 403 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,200 - Can you hold the pages? - Yes. 404 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,600 The paddle wheel is pure rubbish. 405 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,680 We would have made proper oars instead. 406 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,040 It sits up on the boat and will act as reserve propulsion. 407 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:09,160 According to Jason it should work if they sinks so low that it reaches the surface. 408 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,320 We benefit from it in the water. 409 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,280 The wheel doesn't even come to reach down to the water. 410 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,480 But when we start to sink can we spin it. 411 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,960 The paddle wheel is laughable. It's so high- 412 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,360 - that it is just is like a little whirlwind. 413 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,480 But they might get a use for it when they sink. 414 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,640 Then they can continue forward below the surface. 415 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,680 It feels like a crazy compromise which only makes the hull even heavier. 416 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,640 It weighs 400 kg. It is so heavy. 417 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,400 It will be difficult to get the boat down to the lake. 418 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,080 We should take the tarp- 419 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,040 - and drag it as close to the water as we can before we take off in the boat. 420 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,120 Hope we get away with it. 421 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,880 Our boat has no theme, but it looks like a landing craft. 422 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,320 So we took a military theme and run it. 423 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:18,800 We start on dry land. If we lose the boat in the gravel, there is a hole right away. 424 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,560 If they reach the lake they are faced with this: 425 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,680 The track is like a giant triangle. 426 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,320 The teams must row clockwise. 427 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:34,160 The buoys are placed like so that the track will be around 480 meters long. 428 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,920 Now we're going to launch. 429 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,520 The blue boat is probably faster, but the red should be more stable. 430 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,360 Now it's time to be quick and to be able to swing. 431 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,600 They are faster, we swing better. 432 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,000 But the most important thing is that they are waterproof. 433 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,200 It's probably a 50% chance that we do not sink. 434 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,600 Now it applies! The great cardboard boat myth! 435 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,840 - Are you ready? - Yes! 436 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,840 Okay. Three, two, one! 437 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,160 - Blue team! - They're on their way. 438 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,080 Tracy's tarp tactics runs like clockwork. 439 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,560 Come on! Down in the boat! Now, now, now! 440 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,600 The red team came in very quickly, but they got water into the boat. 441 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,520 Now I putt! 442 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,280 But the red team took time to settle- 443 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,360 - so the blue ones caught up. 444 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,960 Now it looks like as if the myth can be confirmed. 445 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:47,000 Two boats made of cardboard and glue floating like ping pong balls in a pond. 446 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:54,360 The red team actually flows like that loudly that they cannot use the wheel. 447 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,240 And soon they end up in the wind's wake. 448 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,600 - Hackett, where's the buoy? - We are heading straight for it! 449 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:07,840 It goes so well that they catch on us! It wasn't meant to be. 450 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,280 Things are going well for the blue ones, but for the reds… 451 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,840 Do you remember that they did not have time to seal the oars? Now they have to suffer for it. 452 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:23,280 The red team has abandoned an oar because it absorbed water. 453 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,560 - Come on, you wimps! - Come on! 454 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:34,600 The blue team rushes forward, thanks to good design and outstanding teamwork. 455 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,160 - What's going on back there, Tamara? - They don't keep a straight course. 456 00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:43,080 WORM! We can save them on the way back. 457 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,000 Since the blue team is sitting in a row- 458 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,480 - it becomes easier to collaborate. 459 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:56,600 Not only do we float, it moves move forward exactly as I wanted. 460 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160 But the mess shouts at each other. 461 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:03,560 Row with your little arms! Hope is not lost yet! 462 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:10,600 Either we die out here, or we'll go ashore! Rest, rest! 463 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,920 Relax! This year sucks! 464 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:20,440 My God, look at them! - Are you all right back there? 465 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,320 Holy shit, we're almost there! 466 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,600 The blue team approaches the finish line and the red team is back-and-forth. 467 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:33,240 - What... is happening? - You don't take in when you row. 468 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,280 It is difficult for them to steer the boat. 469 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:42,800 But they still flow. They struggle on, and it is admirable. 470 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:50,080 The advantage was that they could swing like that easy. And they do, over and over again. 471 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,880 - Now I understand what is happening. - Tracy, go right. 472 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,960 The boat was so blunt in the nose that it turned instead of moving forward. 473 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,920 It was a mistake right from the start. But it floated. 474 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,680 The red team floats... out to sea. And the blue ones are getting ready for disembarkation. 475 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:16,920 Everyone must stand on the gravel. They did it! The blue ones did it! 476 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:29,680 They completed the course in 8 minutes. 6 minutes later the reds arrive. 477 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,720 It was slow with the square one the design and the bad oars. 478 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,560 We just... "We'll take the paddle wheel!" 479 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:46,080 We went to the back of the boat and nothing happened. But we tried. 480 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:51,240 Jon and his team have mixed emotions. The boat feels half full. 481 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:57,000 The good news is that the boat floats. The myth is confirmed. 482 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:02,160 The problem was the oars. They collapsed at once. 483 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,040 Trace, shouldn't we go forward? 484 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,560 For the blue team, it was calm water. 485 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,760 We did as we were supposed to. Four people became a single engine. 486 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,080 We didn't take in water, the oars held. 487 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,040 And it went faster than I thought. 488 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,440 Even though Tamara's team won both boats floated surprisingly well. 489 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,160 Therefore it will be difficult to decide who goes out. 490 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,360 The results: According to the myth, one would be able to build a boat out of cardboard. 491 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,240 And the myth is completely confirmed. 492 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,480 Both boats could be steered, did not leak and could carry 360 kg. 493 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,840 Excellent performance, especially the blue team that came first. 494 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,160 Now for the Mythbusters trophy for best participants. 495 00:40:55,240 --> 00:41:00,920 This week's winner showed well leadership skills and design skills- 496 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,760 - which led the team to victory, and could also handle a weapon. 497 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,000 This week's best participant is Martin. 498 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,000 - Congratulations, Martin. Good work. - Thank you very much. 499 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:23,120 What struck me during this week's challenge was- 500 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:28,480 - that we should replace Adam and Jamie. That's a lot to live up to. 501 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,720 But unfortunately someone has to who is not Martin go home today. 502 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,880 All in the red team were good at building. 503 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,560 But one of you was missing two key Mythbusters properties- 504 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,320 -communication and time management. 505 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,080 There was confusion and a lot of time was spent- 506 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,400 - on a design which cost the red team the victory. 507 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,440 It is difficult to single out one, but I conferred with Mike- 508 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,800 - and the rest of the Mythbusters team. And the one who gets to go home is... 509 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,600 ...Jason. I'm sorry. 510 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:22,760 It's sad that Jason is going out, though it depended on the communication. 511 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,720 He worked a lot for himself and put too much time on the wheel. 512 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,160 When you have such fierce competition you risk going home. 513 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,400 The best part was getting to feel- 514 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,680 - what it's like to be a Mythbuster and to test the myths. 515 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:48,000 I am sure that those who win makes great Mythbusters. 516 00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:53,400 The long journey ended with that Jason fell overboard. 517 00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:59,040 But the myth of the floating the cardboard boat is confirmed. 518 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:09,400 In the next episode: The rest outstanding seven face… 519 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,720 - Three, two, science! - ...an almost impossible idiom. 520 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:19,200 We need to find three small needles like this and a pin. 521 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:25,640 And they must get out of handcuffs for to see who has what it takes… 522 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:32,280 - They have problems with the position. - ...to stay in the competition.
