Too bad.
What does "with the minimum of fuss" mean?
Correct

Noodle-riffic!
You don't need to switch any of the bowls around. You just need to move a bowl of plain noodles from one end to the other!

That's right!
Don't switch the bowls around, just move one.
The chef in the illustration probably got angry at his colleague because he spent too long over the puzzle and the noodles got cold!
