Completing The Trifecta Of Challenges

The third challenge brought the competitors together again at 4:30 pm. Amazingly enough, only 3 out of the 5 teams showed up again. This time for the mystical prize of using anything.

The first challenge required smarts and a sure hand to create engineering contraptions to do the dirty work of flinging a garlic as far as the eye could see. The second challenge required a couple of sure hands and feet to crabwalk to the metaphorical finish line. This challenge will require all of the above: hands, feet, eyes, engineering, contraptions, metaphors, lines, seeing. Each team will take one of their products and will try to throw it as far as they can.

Without really knowing what they were getting into, each team took one of their objects to the outer world. Po's team brought out their 8 ft long skinny-ass bridge. Wah's team took their circular rotating circle of round frisbee (that would've been able to catch...something). Bree's team took their slightly shorter bridge of 4 ft.

In the end, the secret transforming capabilities of Po's team's bridge allowed them to compact their bridge into a football like object. Since none of them are actual quarterbacks for any NFL teams, it was impressive to see them throw the object 300 ft. At least, that's the number that I was told. With this, they were able to use anysing they want. Anything? Anysing. 10 dollah!

With only 30 minutes left, the teams are on the home stretch. What each team will bring to the table keeps everyone at the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for the stunning conclusion; an ending so surprising that it will have you and your co-workers talking about it on Monday, and they will ask you what the hell you are talking about, and then probably walk away.
