This year's problem resembles odd pod in that there are three surfaces on which the structure must rest. However, instead of a standard size, these surfaces are of different heights. One is a plastic token of negligible height, another is 1 1/2 inches tall, and the last is 3 1/2 inches. To further the challenge, the two taller blocks must be spaced 10 1/2" apart. They are of identical dimensions, 8 inches long, except placed on different sides and must be team made. The problem specifically mentions that the structure does not need to be connected, leading to a wide variety of designs, which is judged for 25 points as part of the 50 other points. The other 25 is based on the structure fitting into the skit's theme.
