Christian Jankowski creates a yacht dealership in the middle of the fair, and Oliver Laric takes his video camera in order to release footage of the fair into the public domain. Bik Van der Pol installs a live scoreboard for the fair, but instead of spending $40 million on a Cowboys Stadium style digital screen, he uses people to spell out the score.
