Nick demonstrates with a clip in which the contestants are given a large wishbone and the riddle "Take something that doesn't change, add a pub and a precious gem".

[[note]]A large wishbone comes from a bird larger than a chicken, like a turkey, and the riddle's answer was "constant inn opal".[[/note]]
