Meowierology - At the beginning of the competition block, each team will be given a cat. Using means that do not harm the cat, teams will try to get their cat to meow the most.
Demote Sensing - One of a group of 4 (regional), 5 (state), or 7 (national) event supervisors is not fit to be an event supervisor and needs to be demoted. Using observations made in the 50-minute period, teams must write a report describing which one is to be demoted, why, and why the other ones should stay Event Supervisors.
Chemistry Coup - (Originating from "Chemistry Clue") This event must be carried out in a chemistry lab. Teams will have 50 minutes to plot and stage a coup against a team official. Event supervisors may also participate, but should attempt to stage a coup against the director.
Flossils - Teams will clean and preserve fossilized teeth. If time travel has been invented, teams will travel back in time and clean dinosaurs' teeth.
Coat Busters - Teams will be presented with a LOT of coats. They must critique each one in the category of practicality, fashion, fashion, fashion, fashion and fashion.
Prime Busters - Teams will recite as many prime numbers as they can in order. The count terminates when they recite one incorrect, even if the mistake is fixed.
Last Facts - Teams will each recite a fact. If the event supervisor knows it, the team receives no points, but if the event supervisor did not know it, the team gains one point. When a team recites an incorrect fact, they are out. The last team standing will get first, no matter what. If the 50 minutes elapses and no team has won yet, then score will be used to determine first.
Toad Scholar - Teams will demonstrate an understanding of toads. References to Dolores Umbridge will earn a team bonus points.
Force Code - Teams will be given a piece of software that does not work, and they will attempt to make it work by a show of force. Teams will receive points based on the forcefulness of their actions. Teams successfully fixing the code by force will be awarded a 10% bonus.
Write it Cat it - One team member will write a procedure to complete a task of the event supervisor's choosing. The other team member will use those instructions to attempt to complete the task (they will not know what it is) while acting like a cat. Bonus points will be awarded based on amusement of the event supervisor.

EDIT:
Rocks and Dinner Rolls - Participants will be given rolls of varying degrees of staleness, as well as several rocks. Participants must identify the rocks, and then rank the dinner rolls by staleness. Participants are permitted to taste samples, but nobody except the participant is responsible for any broken teeth.

Are you trying to describe me picking out coats from my closet?
No seriously, I just bought a coat a week ago and I think I have eight coats/jackets now... at least I wear all of them so it's not completely useless.
