Some rails. 67 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,000 The cord runs to the springs and the string must be tightened somehow. 68 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,040 We have to look for a winch. 69 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,320 A productive meeting. It is not every day you build a giant crossbow. 70 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,680 The blue team has gathered all its parts, and that's important. 71 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,840 The red team gathers at the board and Allen has a super idea. 72 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:09,280 Let me speak to the point. How about a cabbage boxing robot? 73 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:17,280 - Any ideas, Brian? - We don't have to shoot the heads of cabbage. 74 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,920 - So we're just going to... - Okay, maybe not a cabbage boxing robot. 75 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,160 - I have a better solution. - Why are you blurring the air cannon? 76 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,800 A large air cannon goes the fastest. 77 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,880 One of us mans a ball valve. 78 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,640 The red team is not afraid of air- cannons, or to break rules. 79 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,360 We don't need to use the whole head. We just take the hard part. 80 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,760 - It will be like a ball of cabbage. - Good idea. 81 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:52,680 - Here's the pipe. - We need it. 82 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,040 - Here is the ball valve. - Absolutely perfect. 83 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,840 And a second air tank here that the compressor fills continuously. 84 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,760 The red team has found their parts. But the point is to hit the target. 85 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:14,960 If you look at all angles... A cement mixer can arrange that. 86 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,240 - This fixes the steak. - What a bargain. 87 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,440 It's like shooting pieces of paper with straws. 88 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Instead of chewing on paper we use the hard part of the head of cabbage. 89 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Instead of a straw we have a pipe and then a compressor. 90 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960 The A-Team were inventive. 91 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,680 They got into trouble and invented some strange machine that saved them. 92 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,840 That's why I probably prefer the blue team. 93 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,880 It is a large crossbow that is powered of feathers. It's something new for me. 94 00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:00,560 The red team makes an air cannon. One of these has been used for chickens. 95 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,880 I'm a little disappointed with them. 96 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Armed with blueprints and scrap they return to the workshop. 97 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,720 - Dangerous stuff. - They are to prepare the cabbage massacre. 98 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,880 The blue team goes through their rusty junkyard finds. 99 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,880 - Nice. - While they check the durability... 100 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,960 Now I just use arm strength. 101 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480 ...these are the rules. 102 00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:41,960 In the workshop, the law may use all the scrap they have found. 103 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,040 We need a stopper. 104 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,440 To build a weapon they get access to all available tools. 105 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,960 They also get access for wood, nuts, nails and tape. 106 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,600 But the main part must remain of scrap they find. 107 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,160 The blue team seems to succeed. 108 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:08,080 It will clearly be a medieval one construction. To the graphics. 109 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,880 They use leaf springs from a truck 110 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,840 - square tube and steel wire. 111 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,560 An old winch tightens the cable- 112 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,920 - and hurls the head of cabbage with violent force. 113 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,440 The red team goes through its material. 114 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,400 - Which floor? - And one last part that Allen found. 115 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,440 Ignore me. 116 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,840 The valves must be turned on and off. 117 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,720 It should happen automatically so just shoot. 118 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,120 I found a microwave. 119 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,320 With it you can turn things on and off and it has a built-in timer. 120 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:58,080 I will try to build a computer that should act as the brain of the cannon. 121 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,040 It is an advanced air cannon.

But have they managed to fix the cabbage steak? 191 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,680 - Come on. - We breathe life into the machine. 192 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,680 Now it is ready. 193 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,720 - The cannon is loaded! - Three, two, one... 194 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,600 After just one day in the workshop is the red team's weapon effective. 195 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,680 Off with the valve. 196 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,880 It's a ball of cabbage. It is fired like a perfect projectile. 197 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:15,040 But the specially made cabbage balls are not the only rule they have broken. 198 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,840 It is this valve that sticks out. 199 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,120 It is an expensive electronic valve which they used in the catapult chair myth. 200 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,560 - Okay. - Absolutely perfect! 201 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:34,400 It was permissible to take advantage of others the buildings they made during the program. 202 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,080 But this probably doesn't quite fit. 203 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,440 It is complicated and expensive. It's not exactly cheating- 204 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,800 -but they stretch the rules. 205 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,360 In the blue team there is no one who cheats. 206 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,320 This is where the cabbage head comes in. 207 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,280 But they work on different projects. Hackett's backup plan is to be tested. 208 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,120 - What is this, Hackett? - The springs are connected to the lever. 209 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,920 - So you tighten the cable... - Check! 210 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,280 ...and fires. 211 00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:17,440 - A crossbow in compound model. - Easy to tension and does not shred. 212 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:25,440 Hackett is afraid that Jon's design will Shred the cabbage. Is his arc better? 213 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,560 Now it is secured. Okay. Three, two, one... 214 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,280 - Not bad. - The cabbage was detached, but did it hold together? 215 00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:50,000 The device looks cool but it causes the mess of the world when it is released. 216 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Now we have salad. 217 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:59,000 The crossbow works fine. But now we have to test Jons. 218 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,680 If it works well, we will come to focus completely on it. 219 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,160 If they are equivalent let's see how we do. 220 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,000 It's time to check how well Jon's plan works. 221 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,520 - Perfect! - The trio weld their weapon together. 222 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,640 That's good. Cabbage it was! 223 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:31,200 Tamara's welding skills and Hackett and Jon's assembly talents... 224 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:38,000 This is the last part. Now it is so close that I can taste the cabbage. 225 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,040 ...making them ready to test his medieval machine. 226 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,720 This is our cabbage throwing weapons of mass destruction. 227 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,560 Finally done. Here's how it works: 228 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,880 The head of cabbage is placed in the sled which is attached to a winch. 229 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,960 We bring it as far back as we can. 230 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,880 Then I unsecure and it will... 231 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,360 - Everyone is worried. - Are you ready? 232 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,840 Lots of energy combined with old parts can cause disaster. 233 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,080 Or maybe a mortal vegetable projectile. 234 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,240 Now it's starting to feel scary. 235 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,880 Three, two, one. 236 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,240 The participants take on a challenge from "The A-Team". 237 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,920 This is truly the "A-Team". 238 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,640 The scrap finds and the cabbage ammunition can become an effective weapon. 239 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,000 It's a ball of cabbage. 240 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,200 New day, new myth. 241 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,320 It's time for the second myth of the week. 242 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,880 No one forgets how to ride a bike, it is said. Until today. 243 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Crikey. 244 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,960 Today's special judge, the circus performer and engineer Eric Gradman. 245 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:26,480 - Do you want to tell me, Eric? - You don't have to ride this one. 246 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,160 But you will ride a bike on one like this. 247 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:38,560 The bike has been modified so that when you turns left, it goes right. 248 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,200 It sounds simple, but it should mean something that the bike is impossible to ride. 249 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,560 To test that myth you must ride it. In 3.5 meters. 250 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,400 In addition, you must build your own bicycles with reverse control. 251 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:04,360 At these six stations you have it all equipment, but no instructions. 252 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,720 You have one hour. Time begins now. 253 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,200 - Rebuilding bikes... - It works as intended. 254 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,440 ...has been a recurring theme. Do they fail with the new myth? 255 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,880 First they have to build the bikes. 256 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,760 - How did that happen? - It looked like this! 257 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,640 It is not so easy for some. 258 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,440 I've cycled maybe ten times all my life and don't have a bike. 259 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,800 So this will be a challenge. 260 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,880 We have cycling and construction. 261 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,840 Only one of the points worries me. I can build anything. 262 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,360 But cycling with these the model members? Doesn't feel good. 263 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,880 - Tamara, what are you doing with the chain? - Puts there gears. 264 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,800 I have been a cycling fanatic since I was six. 265 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,240 I have built my own bikes. But not that kind of bike. 266 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:26,640 Martin is done with his bike after only 20 minutes, so he pimps it. 267 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,600 It can never be too many food sources. 268 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,800 Jon goes from assembly to finesse. 269 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,080 It actually sounds really cool. 270 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,920 - Brian, Allen... - I'm done! 271 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,240 ...and Tamara also gets ready. But not Hackett. 272 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,600 Hackett makes a fuss and messes up. What does he do? 273 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,240 He got off to a bad start but gets ready at the last second. 274 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,800 Five, four, three, two, one. Time is up, put down the tools! 275 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,920 The bikes are assembled and spruced up. Time for a simple test. 276 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,920 You start here and go to the finish line 3.5 meters away. 277 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,680 You must transport yourselves from here to there without touching the ground. 278 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,440 You get three attempts. Martin begins. 279 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,800 Martin has been an enthusiastic cyclist for over 20 years. 280 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,240 - Ready, sir. - But can he handle this? 281 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,400 - You'll fix it! - It was attempt number one. 282 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160 - He came about halfway. - No. 283 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,040 Take two. And this time he spins around. 284 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,360 Third time liked... 285 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,320 It is very difficult. You try to parry but it doesn't work. 286 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,120 Martin has learned something. 287 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,680 Learned behavior is key. It is hard to outwit one's instincts. 288 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,440 Martin has 20 years of experience. 289 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,760 I have cycled ten times. I'll fix it. Not... 290 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,120 Should Jon's lack of experience help him? 291 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,640 You fix it. 292 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,120 Nah. Jon barely made it past the starting line on his three attempts. 293 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,200 - Now then. - Come on, Jon. 294 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,480 The myth is about to be confirmed. 295 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,120 Away. Three, two, one. 296 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,400 Why is it so difficult? 297 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,400 When you learned to ride a bike- 298 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,000 - did your brain develop a mental model of how to ride a bike. 299 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,560 If you move the variables in the model- 300 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,720 - it's like they never have ridden before. 301 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,000 They say it takes weeks to get used to the brain. Will Hackett be exempt? 302 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,680 You can shatter the myth here and now. 303 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,440 Three, two... Now we die! 304 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,760 I didn't get gravel in my mouth but I got another hole in my hand. 305 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,400 I tried to run on strength. And bit the grass. 306 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Six cyclists and three attempts, eighteen in total. How many rode 3.5 meters? 307 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,640 No. The myth is confirmed. 308 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:53,880 You can't ride a bike with reverse steering without much practice. 309 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,320 - Eric, do you want to show? - See you! 310 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,360 CONFIRMED 311 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,920 Back to the "A-Team" story. The blue team finally going to test his master plan. 312 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,600 I really hope so that our device works. 313 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,880 I crank. The cable is tensioned, springs flex, I fire… 314 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Three, two, one. 315 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,000 Not that. - Yes, that went well... 316 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,760 - They expected a bloodbath. - The winch is breaking me. 317 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,560 It was a flop. And they don't know why. 318 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,600 But the team still rallies behind Jon. 319 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,280 How is the blue team doing? They have performed two tests. 320 00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,880 They choose Jon's design. 321 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:05,240 It has more potential considering the enormous feathers. 322 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,080 We can tighten it up. 323 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,280 In addition, it is something A-Team would build. 324 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:15,480 For the first time, mine is rejected design because it's not crazy enough. 325 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,760 Hackett's test fared marginally better. 326 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,960 But Jon's design has greater potential and is more like the A-Team. 327 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,240 - Should it be flat? - Not so far behind. 328 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,360 But it has to work. 329 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,440 It's a bit late to have so many question marks. 330 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,960 Thanks, I have to… 331 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,400 I'm afraid none of the weapons should be ready. 332 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,280 There will be two terrifying paper presses. 333 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,880 With hours to go, the blue team has some design issues to resolve. 334 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,440 They must ensure that the crossbow fulfills its energy potential. 335 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:06,760 The building process is almost over and I looks more scrap than finished weapons. 336 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,440 Time is running out. 337 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,600 The blue team is far away the neat design of the red team. 338 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:23,440 Their cabbage cannon has been tested according to all the rules of art. 339 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:30,840 Now it will get a makeover while Allen finishes the electronics. 340 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,080 Brian and Martin have plenty of time. 341 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,680 - They are behind. - Should we rest or help them? 342 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,440 - We help them. - A lot is at stake. 343 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,840 - Do you want help? - It shows great sportsmanship. 344 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,360 Do what you want. 345 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280 But for a Mythbuster the myth comes first. 346 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,960 There's a cliffhanger to deal with. Teamwork is the word. 347 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,080 Unbelievable that the red team is helping us. 348 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,280 We turn it this way. 349 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,760 They could only have waved goodbye to one of us. 350 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720 Nice that they level the playing field. 351 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,680 We asked if we could help.
