I know the laundry concept didn’t work out.. but why would he choose a quick wash when the concept is the longer the better??

[@AlexaFaie]

Probably because of the short amount of time they had to start the spinning. If you didn't find something to spin within the 10 minutes, then you'd lose. So he was probably thinking that a short cycle would get to the spinning stage sooner in its program.

[@OriginalPiMan]

I wonder if it was a washer-dryer? Then putting it on a drying cycle probably would have had it spinning for an hour, give or take.

[@callumhardy5098]

[@squiglemcsquigle8414]

Contestants regularly play the tm theme tune in tasks. So very well couldve been

[@icturner23]

The ‘phone was actually a good idea if Alice had used it properly. Surely there is an app in which one can make a picture rotate, like a hypnotic pattern or something.

[@icturner23]

I just decided to test whether one could easily be found or whether it would be one of those cases where it was hard to get the right key words. I typed ‘hypnotic’ into the App Store, it suggested ‘hypnotic spiral’, I clicked on that and downloaded the first app and when I opened it it immediately started spinning. So in total it just took a few seconds. This was a few years ago so the apps and speed would have been different, but there would have been something.

Instead of a quick wash he should have set it to Spin, you know, the setting where it spins.

I'd try to make a water wheel in the sink. Find something circular, stick a hanger through the middle to be its axle and position it under a running faucet. Should go until they got the next water bill and turn it off. I imagine actually getting it to go reliably on the first try would take some ingenuity and luck though.
