What was the most unique record achieved and why?
There were 2, the first was moving m&m's from one bowl to another using chopsticks held only in your non dominant hand while your dominant hand was behind your back, this was interesting because strategy came into play where finding other ways to use the chopsticks to achieve the same result made the students who don't normally use chopsticks gain the advantage over regular chopstick using students. The 2nd one was building the tallest tower using Jenga blocks while wearing oven mitts, again strategy of creating a decent base to build upon was the technique doubled with maintaining steady hands saw the best results ,
