However, as Dara communicated the wrong instruction, they received 0 points each.

**Munya Chawawa & Sarah Millican:** Munya and Sarah came up with a complicated system where some of the bells represented individual words like "punch", "lick", "I", "you","gently", "hard" and "medium" and two bells to represent either a noun or a verb, which would be described by sticks. Despite the confusing system, Munya used the sticks to create pictograms of the animals so Sarah understood what to do. As they were the only team to correctly complete the instruction, they received 5 points each.
