So close to a double perfection, but Vic guesses IT'S IN THE HOUSE, which is not quite right.

Have another prize on us, Tania. We're offering the choice of 12 months of Jim's Mowing service, a Pierre Cardin watch collection, and a 5-night Sunshine Coast holiday.
Tania has such a big lawn that she needs mowing.
